Lyrics

Español

Vos sabés que soy un mozo inteligente, 'un muchacho propiamente' como dice mi papá, incapaz de andar lustrando mostradores ni jugando ganadores en el Hache Nacional; un muchacho que, si quiere, cualquier día se levanta a la hora de almorzar y si llega a disgustarse una mañana se le da por la macana de salir a trabajar. Soy varón y soy sincero y tengo que aconsejarte: si conmigo has pensado casarte consultá tu corazón, que al cariño de mujer responderé como varón. Si le hacemos al cariño nuestro un nudo vas a ver qué macanudo va a ser nuestro porvenir; alquilamos un pisito por el centro de esos que estando uno adentro ni dan ganas de salir... Invitamos a los viejos los domingos así estás con tu mamá y con tu papá y los días de semana por la noche, si es que puedo comprar coche te he de sacar a pasear.

English · machine translation

You know I'm a smart boy, 'a proper boy as my dad says, incapable of going around polishing counters or playing winners at the Hache Nacional; a boy who, if he wants to, any day he gets up at lunchtime and if he gets upset one morning he is given the baton to go out to work. I am a man and I am sincere and I have to advise you: if you have thought of marrying me consult your heart, that to the affection of a woman I will respond as a man. If we tie a knot in our affection you'll see what a great thing our future will be; we rent a little flat downtown one of those that when you're inside you don't even feel like going out... We invite the old folks over on Sundays so you can be with your mom and dad and on weekdays at night, if I can buy a car I'll take you out for a walk.
