Lyrics
Español · Underlined words are lunfardo: tap one for its meaning.
No me gusta andar con vivos y a los giles les doy pase a los otros si es preciso los atiendo y se acabó. Si la mala se encabrita me la aguanto hasta que amanse y aunque siempre hay un amigo, curo a solas mi dolor. Me enseñó la mala racha que la suerte es mina ilusa, Que, al final, se queda siempre con aquel que está grillao. Y aprendí en los desencantos, que si afloja el de la zurda, es mejor que te amasijes porque al fin irás palmao. Aunque seas bien derecho si andas seco te dan pifia. Trabajando sos cualquiera y afanando sos señor. Porque, al fin, hasta la grela que comparte tu cobija cuando ve mangos en fila solo piensa '¿cuántos son?'. Además, nadie pregunta de que 'lao' llegó la buena, la importancia está en los mangos aunque salgan de lo peor. Y aprendes al triste precio de tu credo en esta feria que ni tiñe la vergüenza, ni la tiene honor. Me enseñaron los amigos que estas firme si hay rebusque, aprendí de los extraños que hay que abrirse del favor. Y la vez, que por humano le di cuarta a un 'cualunque', me dejó en la puerca vía sin confianza y sin colchón. Los demás te ven sacando por la pinta, como al naipe, y al marcarte ' en puerta', pregonando que hay amor, te saquean hasta el alma y después te dan el raje... ¡Pero nadie mira nunca que tenés un corazón!

I don't like to hang around with the living and I give the giles a pass. to the others if necessary I take care of them and that's it. If the bad one gets mad, I put up with her until she calms down. and although there is always a friend, I cure my pain alone. The bad streak taught me that luck is an illusive mine, That, in the end, it always stays with the one who is grilled. And I learned in the disenchantments, that if the left-handed one loosens, it's better that you get a cramp, because in the end you'll be beaten. Even if you are very right-handed, if you are dry, you will get a bad result. Working you are anyone and working you are a master. Because, in the end, even the grela who shares your blanket when he sees mangoes in a row, he only thinks 'how many are there? Besides, nobody asks from which 'lao' the good one came, the importance is in the mangoes even if they come from the worst. And you learn at the sad price of your creed at this fair that neither dyes the shame, nor the money has honor. My friends taught me that you are firm if there is a rummage, I learned from strangers that you have to be open to favor. And the time, that by human I gave fourth to a gil 'cualunque', he left me on the stiff road without confidence and without a mattress. The others see you taking out by the pint, like a playing card, and when they mark you 'gil en puerta', proclaiming that there's love, they plunder you to the soul and then they give you the crack... But nobody ever sees that you have a heart!
