Tres Amigos

Three Friends

Tres Amigos

From my lived pages, I always carry a great memoryDe mis páginas vividas, siempre llevo un gran recuerdo
My emotion doesn't forget them, time passes and I remember more.Mi emoción no las olvida, pasa el tiempo y más me acuerdo.
We were always three friendsTres amigos siempre fuimos
In that youth...En aquella juventud...
We were the most talked about trioEra el trío más mentado
That could have walkedQue pudo haber caminado
Through those streets in the south.Por esas calles del sur.

Where will you be, Pancho Alsina?¿Dónde andarás, pancho alsina?
Where will you be, Balmaceda?¿Dónde andarás, balmaceda?
I wait for you on the cornerYo los espero en la esquina
Of Suarez and Necochea...De suárez y necochea...
Today... None come to my appointment.Hoy... Ninguno acude a mi cita.
Now... My life takes a detour.Ya... Mi vida toma el desvío.
Today... The old guard shouts at me:Hoy... La guardia vieja me grita:
"Who... Has scattered that trio?""¿Quién... Ha dispersado aquel trío?"
But I still remember themPero yo igual los recuerdo
My two friends from yesterday...Mis dos amigos de ayer...

Once, there in the gates, they saved me from death.Una vez, allá en portones, me salvaron de la muerte.
There are always clashes when a poor man has fun.Nunca faltan encontrones cuando un pobre se divierte.
And once, there in Barracas,Y otra vez, allá en barracas,
I paid off that debt to them...Esa deuda les pagué...
They always saw us together...Siempre juntos nos veían...
That friendship kept usEsa amistad nos tenía
Tied always to the three.Atados siempre a los tres.
