La Señora Del Chalet

The Lady of the Chalet

La Señora Del Chalet

Get out of your criminal neighborhood,Piantá de tu barrio reo,
Leave the shady convent,Dejá el convento mistongo,
What I propose to youQue lo que yo te propongo
You won't find it there.Allí no lo has de encontrar.
You'll see what a fancy trainVas a ver qué tren diquero
With your new outfit,Con tu nueva indumentaria,
So that the envious onesPa'que bronquen las otarias
Who have to work will be jealous.Que tienen que laburar.

I'm going to dress you upTe voy a empilchar debute
In a French maison,En una maisón francesa,
In white, in strawberryYa de blanco, ya de fresa
In cloth or crepe,Ya de paño o crepmongol,
With four or five bracelets,Con cuatro o cinco pulseras,
A pendant with a diamond,Un pendantif con brillante,
And a ring with a diamondY un zarzo con un diamante
Shinier than a lantern.Más brilloso que un farol.

You'll stop being the poorDejarás de ser la pobre
Shady convent girl,Mistonguera mishia grela,
And once filled with fabricY una vez llena de tela
You'll change your name too:Cambiás de nombre también:
You'll put on one of thoseTe encajás uno de aquellos
Properly French names,Propiamente afrancesados,
And you'll see that to your pastY verás que a tu pasado
You bid farewell without a group.Sin grupo le hacés amén.

You'll have a debut chauffeurTendrás un chofer debute
Properly uniformed,Postamente uniformado,
And a well-mannered little cousinY un buen cuzquito mimado
To help you make an entrance.Que te ayude a dar chiqué
Here, the fools from the neighborhood,Aquí, los giles del barrio,
Seeing your appearance and your goods,Al ver tu pinta y tus bienes,
Will all say, "Here comesDirán todos "allá viene
The lady of the chalet."La señora del chalet".

You'll have a piano instead of a radioTendrás piano en vez de radio
And luxurious furniture,Y un lujoso mobiliario,
You'll appear in the newspapersFigurarás en los diarios
In the social gallery,En galería social,
Although I, to support you,Aunque yo pa mantenerte
Will always be in trouble,Esté siempre engayolado,
And eternally exposedY eternamente escrachado
In the police chronicle.En crónica policial.
