Por Culpa Del Escolazo

Because of the Hangover

Por Culpa Del Escolazo

Because of the hangoverPor culpa del escolazo
I was left stranded on the road,Me quedé bien en la via,
The things, oh my mamaLas cosas que mama mía
I had to deal with!Me tuve que apechugar!
I couldn't dress properly,Ya no podía empilchar,
I was short of cash,Andaba misho de fasos,
And not liking the blowY al no gustarme el pechazo
Or the groups to hang out with,Ni los grupos pa'filar,
To be able to drinkPara poder escabiar
From whiskey I went to quebracho.Del whisky me fui al quebracho.

I didn't contribute anymore to the coffee,Ya no aporté más al feca,
Nor to the corner bar,Ni a la barra de la esquina,
I even ditched the girlsLe rajaba hasta a las minas
In case I had to pay.Por si había que garpar.
What was missing to completeNo faltó pa'completar
That muddy field,Aquella cancha barrosa,
When a rough girlCuando una mina rasposa
Who shared my placeQue mi bulín compartía
Left one fine daySe las tomara un buen día
Seeing things were going bad.Al ver fulera la cosa.

I pawned my stuff,Empeñé el zarzo y el bobo,
I squandered everything,Refundí hasta la marroca,
From downtown I went to the slumsDel centro me fui a la boca
To live in a garret;A vivir en un altillo;
The air of the tenementEl aire de conventillo
Was quickly getting to meMe fue ganando de apuro
By force of hard livingA fuerza e'marroco duro
I couldn't throw anymoreYa no podía tirar
And not being able to hold onY al no poderme aguantar
I became friends with work.M'hice amigo del laburo.

Now I avoid the mixHoy le rajo al entrevero
Of gambling and hangoutsDe timbas y de paradas
No more wild lifeMinga de vida alocada
The folder doesn't cut it anymore;Ya no tira la carpeta;
A joint that calms me downUna grela que me aquieta
Shows its benefitsAcusa sus beneficios
And without making sacrificesY sin hacer sacrificios
When there's a screw in winterCuando hay tornillo en invierno
I soak up the sun in PalermoMe tomo el sol de palermo
And in passing I curb the vice.De paso despunto el vicio.
