Tortazos

Slaps

Tortazos

You were won over with moneyTe conquistaron con plata
And you ran insideY rajaste para adentro
The bad lights of downtownLas luces malas del centro
Made you put your foot in itTe hicieron meter la pata
You didn't care, ungratefulNada te importó che ingrata
You threw everything awayEchaste todo a rodar
Because your desire to stand outPues tu afán de figurar
Sickened your soul with forgetfulnessEnfermó tu alma de olvido
And now you even have a husbandY aura hasta tenés marido
The things one has to endureLas cosas que hay que aguantar

My dear, it amuses meM'hijita me causa gracia
Your new marital statusTu nuevo estado civil
Because you've fooled a foolPorque has engrupido a un gil
Who believed in your aristocracyQue creyó en tu aristocracia
You are the snub PancraciaVos sos la ñata Pancracia
Daughter of the Italian GerartoHija del tano Gerarto
A tall, skinny bruteUn goruta flaco y alto
Who worked in La BocaQue trabajaba en la Boca
Don't you remember, crazy foreignerNo te acordás, gringa loca
When you ran off to the asphaltCuando piantaste al asfalto

And now you have a carY ahora tenés vuaturé
You wear a fur coat andUsás tapao petigris y
You have an unhappy manTenés un infeliz
Who sweet talks you in FrenchQue la chamuya en francés
What are you doing, what are you doing three timesQue hacés, tres veces que hacés
Mrs. Clisolda ValleSeñora Clisolda Valle
When you show off your figureSi cuando lucís tu talle
With that guy on your armCon ese coso del brazo
I don't hit you with a slapNo te rompo de un tortazo
For not hitting you in the streetPor no pegarte en la calle

Madam, but one must seeSeñora, pero hay que ver
Your obsession with being a matronTu berretín de matrona
If you remember RamonaSi te acordás de Ramona
Pay her the rentAbonale el alquiler
Don't act like a high-class ladyNo te hagás la rastacuer
Throwing money aroundDesparramando la guita
Lower your head, my dearBaja el copete m'hijita
With your fancy lifeCon tu vida bacanada
But if you're more snobbishPero si sos más manyada
Than the tango La CumparsitaQu'el tango La Cumparsita
