Padrino Pelado

Bald Godfather

Padrino Pelado

Hell yeah, guys! What a wedding!Saraca, muchachos! Dequera, un casorio!
Oh God, so many chicks! It's all set up!Uy Dio, que de minas! Ta todo alfombrao!
And those young guys, tough guys from the neighborhood,Y aquellos pebetes, goriones de barrio,
they come shouting: 'Bald godfather!'acuden gritando:"Padrino pelao!"

The neighborhood is stirred up with their commotion...El barrio alborotan con su algarabia...
There, on the sidewalk, you can see, among the crowd,Alla, en la vereda, se ve, entre el monton,
the withered face of some young girlel rostro marchito de alguna pebeta
who has already lost her illusion forever.que ya para siempre perdio la ilusión.

And so, quietly,Y asi, por lo bajo,
the old ladies from the neighborhoodlas viejas del barrio
comment on the mattercomentan la cosa
with admiration:con admiracion:

'Did you see, ma'am,"Ha visto, señora,
what a shamelessness?que poca vergüenza?
Wearing whiteVestirse de blanco
after sinning!'después que peco!"

And an Italian tough guyY un tano cabrero
grumbles at the doorrezonga en la puerta
because a jerkporque a un cajetiya
stole his stew:manyo el estofao:

'Here, in this house,"Aqui, en esta casa
you don't come in.oste non me dentra.
I've been toldMe sun dado coenta
that you're a freeloader.'que oste es un colao".

Hell yeah, guys: let's shout louder!"Saraca, muchachos:gritemos más fuerte!
Oh God, what a cheapskate! Hasn't thrown a penny...Uy Dio, que amarrete! Ni un cobre ha tirao...
How annoying, guys! He's playing dumb.Que bronca, muchachos! Se hizo el otario.
Shout, Pulguita! Bald Godfather!'Gritemos, Pulguita! Padrino Pelao!"

And that young girl on the sidewalkY aquella pebeta que esta en la vereda
watches sadly as the bride goes by.contempla con pena la novia al pasar.
Her withered soul fills with anguishSe llena de angustia su alma marchita
thinking she will never have the white trousseau.pensando que nunca tendra el blanco ajuar.
