Farabute

Scoundrel, deluded by the nonsense of magnatesFarabute ilusionado por la mersa de magnates
Who wrap their presence in sumptuous positionQue enfarolan su presencia con suntuosa posición
Don't think, poor rag, that one born in a cotNo manyás pobre franela, que aquél que nació en un catre
Is condemned to live modestly by fateA vivir modestamente la suerte lo condenó

You are the rehashed scum that you flaunt with your presenceSos la escoria remanyada que esgunfiás con tu presencia
A cheap thug, residue of the slumDe chitrulo sin carpeta, residuo del arrabal
Your thug deeds in the notebook of absenceTus hazañas de malevo al cuaderno de la ausencia
With the pencil of memory, I will enumerate themCon el lápiz del recuerdo te las voy a enumerar

Clandestine of racesClandestino de carreras
Sometimes a gamblerA ratitos quinielero
That's how you make the coinsAsí te hacés las chirolas
With which you sometimes dress upCon que a veces te empilchás
At home all yearEn tu casa todo el año
At mealtimeA la hora del puchero
You swell with arroganceEnyantás de prepotencia
What you never earnLo que nunca te ganás

Reveal yourself, scoundrel, you weren't born to be a pimpDeschavate farabute, no naciste pa cafishio
Dedicate yourself to work, that's where your salvation liesAl laburo dedicate que allí está tu salvación
Remember your dear mother, a month ago in the hospiceRecordá tu madrecita, hace un mes en el hospicio
Dying with your siblings, begging for helpMuriendo a tus hermanitos suplicando señaló

I, who in her sad existence you've treated like a ragYo que en su triste existencia como trapo la has tratado
Not even a compliment did you know how to show herNi un halago tan siquiera le supiste demostrar
Today you have the mission that has been entrusted to you by lifeHoy tenés frente a la vida la misión que te ha encargado
The saint from heaven will know how to reward youQue la santa desde el cielo te sabrá recompensar
