Che, Bartolo

Hey, Bartolo

Che, Bartolo

Big shot from the slums, scoundrel of half and halfGran viviyo de aspamento, malandrín de meta y ponga
Brace yourself for this blow that I'm going to shake you withAtajate este ponchazo que te voy a sacudir
I don't want to expose you for singing this tuneNo es que quiera deschavarte por cantar esta milonga
But because with your tricks you won't fool meSino porque con tus briyos vos no me vas a engrupir
Hey, broke poser, I'll tell you something that makes me happyChe, bacán de rango mishio, te diré algo que me alegra
To see you mingling among the riffraff pretending to be a big shotRelojearte entre la merza que la va de Tabarís
They call you the fools The Marquis of BlackmouthA vos te llaman los giles El Marqués de Bocanegra
While they call me Chorro, The Blacksmith, or The PartridgeComo a mí me baten Chorro, El Herrero o El Perdiz

Hey, BartoloChe, Bartolo
Realize if you've gone crazyBatí si te has vuelto colo
Trying to disguise yourselfPa' quererte disfrazar
BlackmouthBocanegra
Let's see who is the mother-in-law¡Hay que ver cuál es la suegra
Who can put up with you!Que a vos te podrá aguantar!
Dressed in blackVos de negro
You only have your rap sheetTenés solo tu prontuario
I don't even know how you hide itQue ni sé cómo escondés
Hey, BartoloChe, Bartolo
As a convict, I ask youComo reo, yo te pido
To drop the last nameQue dejés el apellido
Of that noble GenoeseDe aquel noble genovés

If the insolent monocle gives you a snobbish airSi el monóculo insolente te da un aire bacanejo
And that outfit makes you look like a marquisY ese empilche bien debute te barniza de marqués
Your old man doesn't carry himself the same wayNo la va del mismo modo el curdela de tu viejo
Among the bar crowd, he drags his old ageQue entre gente de boliche va arrastrando su vejez
I don't know with what picklock you've opened that holeYo no sé con qué ganzúa has abierto ese agujero
That us inmates of my rank call SocietyQue los reos de mi rango le llamamos Sociedá
I think you made a mistake, The Candomberos' SocietyPa' mí que te equivocaste, La de Negros Candomberos
Is the right Society where you can hang outEs la Sociedá indicada donde podés alternar
