Tabaré, That`s Right

Good evening everyone in this seminarBuenas noches tengan todos en este seminario
I am a person with good literary taste,soy una persona de buen gusto literario,
Today I will lecture about a particular bookhoy disertaré sobre un libro en especial
That I read when I was a kid and they made me recite it.que leí cuando era chico y e lo hicieron recitar.

You might think I'm resentfulUstedes pensarán que soy un resentido
But you had to see me as a poorly dressed Indian,pero tenían que verme como un indio mal vestido,
With blue contact lenses and featherscon lentes de contacto celestes y con plumas
Wearing little pants and shouting au au a.con una bombachita y gritando au au a.

The queer Indian attacks againel indio trolo ataca otra vez
Tabaré ye ye yeTabaré ye ye ye
If you're Indian, then I'm Gardel.si vos sos indio yo soy Gardel.

Tabaré suffered from Oedipus complex and had a little problemTabaré sufrió de edipo y tuvo un problemita
He loved a Spanish woman who was just like his mommy,amó a una española que era igual que su mamita,
Besides, he was a fool because the girl was fooling himaparte era tarado pues la mina lo trillaba
She threw herself at him and Tabaré ran away.se le tiraba arriba y Tabaré se le escapaba.

He was the precursor of national racismFue el precursor del racismo nacional
With those of his own race, everything was wrong,con los de su misma raza estaba todo mal,
For him, the whiter the skin, the betterpara el mucho mejor cuanto más blanca la piel
He drew a poster of Snow White without a bra.un poster dibujó de Blancanieves sin sutién.

The Spanish woman was a virgin and got hotLa gallega era virgen y se había calentado,
Tabaré respected her because he was baptized,Tabaré la respetaba pues él era bautizado,
But one day the Indians attackedpero un buen día los indios atacaron
The fort for revenge and kidnapped Blanca.el fuerte por venganza y a Blanca secuestraron.

The chief Yamandú, a more real CharrúaEl cacique Yamandú, un charrúa más real
Stops messing around and tries to have sex with her,se deja de pavadas y se la intenta clavar,
And just when he was about to do her that favory justo cuando estaba por hacerle ese favor

They found Tabaré with the woman on a hillA Tabaré lo encontraron con la tipa en una loma
And they killed him for being a fool.y lo asesinaron por ser un gil de goma.
It can be concluded from this idiotic storySe puede concluir de esta historia de idiotez
That the Charrúa spirit is just a tale.que la garra charrúa tan solo un cuento es.

In conclusion, I would say that without much effortTerminando yo diría que sin mucho empeño
Great soap operas would be made by the people of Buenos Aires,flor de teleteatro se harían los porteños,
And the lecture has now come to an endy la disertación ha llegado así a su fin
May Zorrilla de San Martín rest in peace.que en paz descanse Zorrilla de San Martín.

Tabaré. His song is no longer heard.Tabaré. ya no se escucha su canto.
Thank goodness.Menos mal.
