Compadrón

Little buddy with the violetCompadrito a la violeta
If Juan Malevo saw youSi te viera Juan Malevo
What heat he would make you go throughQue calor te haría pasar
You don't even have a pieceNo tenés siquiera un cacho
Of that mud splatteredDe ese barro chapaleado
By the waiters of the placePor los mozos del lugar
The shield of the tough guysEl escudo de los guapos
Doesn't count you among its redsNo te cuenta entre sus gules
For reasons of worthPor razones de valer
Your trims of buddyTus ribetes de compadre
Fooled you, don't doubt itTe engrupieron, no lo dudes
You'll know why!Ya sabrás por que!

Recorded as a smart guyProntuariado de vivillo

Buddies who follow youAmigotes que te siguen
You are to me, even if it hurts youSos pa' mi, aunque te duela
Comrade without school, scrap of a dandyCompadre sin escuela, retazo de bacán

When you're old and aloneCuando quedes viejo y solo

Big shotCompadrón
And you rearrange your portraitY remanyes tu retrato
(Gato)(Gato)
You'll notice that you've done nothingNotaras que nada has hecho
Your whim undoneTu berretín deshecho
You'll see it crumbleVeras desmoronar

In the gambling of lifeEn la timba de la vida
You're a point without dragSos un punto sin arrastre
On the outgoing cardSobre el naipe salidor
And on the field of this worldY en la cancha de este mundo
You're a weak hitSos un débil pal biabazo
The sweet talk and loveEl chamuyo y el amor
Even if you look in its wordsAunque busques en su verba
Picturesque counterflowersPintorescos contraflores
To arm yourself with cheekPa' munirte de cachet
I say to myself quietlyYo me digo a la sordina
God help you, Little buddyDios te ayude, Compadrito
