Largue a esa mujica

Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.

Largue, Chiessa a esa Mujica por Souza y por Roncoroni y Pratto Coty Spiantoni porque Passini calor. Yo Onzari que Battilana si ha Serrato la Manchini, que si usted Reccanatini tal vez Stabile mejor. Marassi que yo Bidoglio que anda con una Peniche y aunque se Fleitas Soliche, a quién se lo va a Gondar. Qu' el es Nobile, che Negro, nunca Settis Gainzerain si deja esa Bidegain pa' no volver a Beccar. Tire, Cherro, esa Ferreyra, que si corre Sanguinetti lo van a dejar Coletti en la Celta de un penal. Es inútil que Lamarque o a lo mejor la Martínez, si no valdrá que Giménez ni que se haga el Sandoval. Guarda con la Canaveri, Miranda que lo en Canaro, si de usted bate un Purcaro que es Cafferata de acción. Olvide el Carricaberry, tírese a la Bartolucci, que mejor es hacer Bucci que dárselas de Mathón.

[Translator's note: this lyric cannot be carried into English. Every phrase is built by substituting the surnames of 1920s–30s Argentine footballers for ordinary words that sound like them — Chiessa for "che, esa", Mujica for "mujer", Passini for "pa' sí ni", Bidoglio for "bien de ojo", and so on. The sense below is the everyday phrasing the puns are hiding; the joke itself lives only in the Spanish.] Drop that woman, mate, for her ways and her carrying on and clear off for good because she isn't worth the heat. I'd swear to you that if she's been straight with Mancini, well, if you say so, maybe it's better to leave it be. It bothers me that I saw plainly that she's going about with a floozy and even if she plays the innocent, who's she going to fool. What a fine one he is, listen, Negro, he never gets it right if he lets that one go so as not to end up back where he started. Throw that ironmongery away, Cherro, because if you make a run for it they're going to leave you flattened by a penalty. It's no use crying about it or maybe blaming Martínez, it won't help to make excuses nor to play the innocent. Watch out for the trouble, Miranda, or you'll be for it, if somebody tips them off about you because he's quick to act. Forget the whole business, throw yourself into the mess, because it's better to keep quiet than to play the tough guy.
