Te Lo Digo Por Tu Bien

I'm Telling You for Your Own Good

Te Lo Digo Por Tu Bien

You're the champion of the curd,Vos sos el campeon de la cuajada,
Pasteurized milkLa leche pasteurizada
And mineral water.Y del agua mineral.

And when you're all pumped up,Y cuando ya estas bien embalado
You dive into a marathonTe metes a un continuado
And finish the party.Y la farra rematas.

Watching cartoons,Mirando dibujos animados
You're happy eating ice creamSos feliz morfando helados
And pineapple candies.Y pastillas de anana.

Whether on the bus or train,Y en colectivo o en tren
Coming or going,Yendo o viniendo
You spend your time readingTe la pasas leyendo
Tarzan magazines.Revistas de tarzan.

Duck's blood,Sangre de pato,
Wake up, my dudeAvivate frate mio
You're gonna freeze to deathTe vas a morir de frio
If you don't learn to drink.Si no aprendes a escabiar.

Wake upDespertate
Go out in a hurryAnda un poco a la carreras
And to the party of tango dancersY a la farra milonguera
To dance a good tango.A bailarte un buen gotan.

Shake offSacudite
The dirt from your lapelLa tierrita de la solapa
Find yourself a chick, manBuscate una mina papa
And come to the party.Y venite pal trocen.

Well-dressed and with a cigaretteBien empilchado y con un faso
Between your lips,Entre los labios
Listen to me, idiotHaceme caso otario
I'm telling you for your own good.Te lo digo por tu bien.

You've never felt the thrillVos nunca sentistes el gustazo
Of going to watch some punchesDe ir a ver unos tortazos
In the Luna Park ring.En el ring del luna park.

And if you haven't been to Boca or RiverY si en boca o en river
And neverNo has estado y nunca
And never been to the paddockY nunca fuiste al paddoc
To see a national race.A ver un nacional.

Tell me if you're a bit smartDecime si sos un poco piola
Why do you have the brainPara que tenes la sabiola
If not to use it.Si no es para saber.

That the roulette is not at the flea marketQue la ruleta no queda en la salada
And that twelve is not a sure thingY que el doce no es clavada
Playing English roulette.Jugando al pase ingles.

Even the chickSi hasta la mina
Will die of boredom with you.Se te va a morir de hastio.
Wake up, my dude,Avivate frate mio,
I'm telling you for your own good.Te lo digo por tu bien.
