Lyrics
SPANISH
Como con bronca y junando
de rabo de ojo a un costado,
sus pasos ha encamindo
derecho pa'l arrabal.
Lo lleva el presentimiento
de que en aquel potrerito
no existe ya el bulincito
que fue su unico ideal.
Recordaba aquellas horas de garufa
cuando minga de laburo se pasaba,
meta punga al codillo escolaseaba
y en los burros se ligaba un metejon.
Cuando no era tan junao por los tiras
la lanceaba sin tener el manyamiento,
una mina le solfeaba todo el vento
y jugo con su pasion.
Era un mosaico diquero
que yugaba de quemera,
hija de una curandera,
mechera de profesion.
Pero vivia engrupida
de un cafiolo vidalita
y le pasaba la guita
que le chacaba al maton.
Frente a frente dando muestra de coraje
los dos guapos se trenzaron en el bajo,
y el Ciruja, que era listo para el tajo,
al cafiolo le cobro caro su amor.
Hoy ya libre 'e la gayola y sin la mina
campaneando un cacho 'e sol en la vereda,
piensa un rato en el amor de la quemera
y solloza en su dolor.
ENGLISH
Appearing "angry" and "looking"
through the side of his eyes
he has directed his steps
straight for the slum.
He just knew what was going to happen
his intuition took him to that place,
to that vacant lot, where he just knew
his little shack, his idel little place, no longer existed.
He remembered those hours of great parties
when "lacking" "work," he spent his time
"pickpocketing" and "playing cards"
and he had a passion for the "ponies."
When he was not "well known" by the "cops"
he could "rob at knife point" without "knowing"
that a "girl" was "robbing" all the "money" from him
and toyed with his love.
She was a "common woman" with "airs of grandeur"
that "toiled" around as a "burning dump scavenger"
she was the daughter of a quack woman,
"shoplifter" by trade.
But she was "delluded"
by a pimp of long standing
who's got all the dough
that the bully spent on her.
Face to face showing big courage
the two brawlers crossed knives in the dark
the Ciruja who was fast with the knife
made the pimp pay too dearly his love.
Out of jail now and with no maiden
staring at the sun on the sidewalk
thinks awhile in the girl's love
and sobs in his pain.
