Pompas De Jabón (Pompas)

Girl from my neighborhood, daddy, dollPebeta de mi barrio, papa, papusa
Who's cruising in a car with a cool guyQue andás paseando en auto con un bacán
You've cut your hair as it's doneQue te has cortado el pelo como se usa
And dyed it champagne colorY que te lo has teñido color champán

In the fancy joints with tuxedos and bellowsQue en los piringundines de frac y fuelle
You dance showing off party cutsBailás luciendo cortes de cotillón
And to the tango dancers to impress themY que a las milongueras por darles dique
When you leave with your man, you make a big dealAl irte con tu camba batís allón

Today your few springsHoy tus pocas primaveras
Make you dream about lifeTe hacen soñar en la vida
And in the perverted circleY en la ronda pervertida
Of the nocturnal revelryDel nocturno jarangón
You think about aristocraciesPensás en aristocracias
And you waste your AprilsY derrochás tus abriles
Poor girl who among foolsPobre mina que entre giles
You feel like Mimí PinsónTe sentís Mimí Pinsón

Think, poor girl, daddy, dollPensá, pobre pebeta, papa, papusa
That your beauty will fade one dayQue tu belleza un día se esfumará
And like flowers wiltingY que como las flores que se marchitan
Your crazy illusions will dieTus locas ilusiones se morirán
The guy who spoils you with his moneyEl mishé que te mima con sus morlacos
One day will get boredEl día menos pensado se aburrirá
And then like so many flowers from the mudY entonces como tantas flores del fango
You'll go begging on those streetsIrás por esas calles a mendigar

You succeed because you're justTriunfás porque sos apenas
An embryo of tired fleshEmbrión de carne cansada
And because your laughterY porque tu carcajada
Is a sweet modulationEs dulce modulación
When the years, relentlessCuando implacables los años
Inject you with their bitternessTe inyecten sus amarguras
You'll see that your crazinessYa verás que tus locuras
Were just soap bubblesFueron pompas de jabón
