El Desalojo

The Eviction

El Desalojo

The trial with the noticeEl juzgao con el aviso
He hit me on the headMe la dio por la cabeza
I never expected such a surpriseNunca esperé tal sorpresa
My ungrateful luck wanted itMi suerte ingrata lo quiso
Happy on a mezzanineFeliz en un entrepiso
I was confidentYo me encontraba confiao
By always seeing the managerAl ver siempre al encargao
Greet with joySaludar con alegría
But today, not even the good morningsPero hoy, ni los buenos días
When he found me he hurt meAl encontrame me ha dao

After a while I saw my furnitureAl rato vi mi moblaje
I head up the stairsEnfilao por la escalera
The guitar, the lunch boxLa guitarra, la fiambrera
The old mattress and the suitEl colchón viejo y el traje
And then all the household itemsY después todo el menaje
Inside the YPF tableDentro de la mesa YPF
And an elastic bandY un elástico de fleje
What says: From TurkeyQue dice: Desde Turquia
And what I inherited from an auntY que heredé de una tía
Who died in Cruz del EjeQue se murió en Cruz del Eje

I was barely three years oldApenas debía tres años
What treacherous mischiefQue alevosa picardía
How lucky my lifeQue suerte la vida mía
Always, always disappointmentsSiempre, siempre desengaños

The eyes of strangersLos ojos de los extraños
They flashed with joyRelampagueaban de gozo
And the curious WatcherY el Vigilante curioso
He said, showing his teethDijo, mostrando los dientes
What is the one in front going to say?Qué va a decir la del frente
Seeing your luxurious furnitureAl ver su mueble lujoso

And on the sidewalk witheredY en la vereda marchitas
My poor things were leftMis pobres cosas quedaron
I know well that they became cloudyYo sé bien que se nublaron
Your little eyes, neighborTus ojitos, vecinita

What saddens me and agitates meLo que me apena y me agita
It's because I'm a little angelEs que por ser angelito
That little golden markAquel dorado marquito
that has always accompanied meQue siempre me ha acompañao
The porter has bothered meEl changador me ha afanao
With your image, che CarlitosCon tu estampa, che Carlitos
