Tortazos

You were conquered with money and came trotting to the center,Te conquistaron con plata y al trote viniste al centro,
You had something inside that made you put your foot in it;Algo tenías adentro que te hizo meter la pata;
To hell with the espadrille and you threw everything away;Al diablo fue la alpargata y echaste todo a rodar;
The eagerness to show off was your favorite 'hobby'El afán de figurar fue tu "hobby" preferido
And now, now that you have a husband, the things you have to endure.Y ahora,que tenés marido las cosas que hay que aguantar.

Little girl, I find your new marital status amusing.Mijita, me causa gracia tu nuevo estado civil.
How foolish that fool was to believe in your aristocracy:Si será gil ese gil que creyó en tu aristocracia:
You are the epitome of vulgarity, alias 'wrinkled nose',Vos sos la ñata pancracia, alias "nariz arrugada",
Seller of empanadas, in the neighborhood of Pompeya.Vendedora de empanada, en el barrio de pompeya.
And your mother? Well, let's respect the deceased!¿Y tu mama? Bueno, de ella, ¡respetemos la finada!

And now you have a fur coat, a gray little coatY ahora tenés voaturé, un tapao petí gris
And you have an unhappy man who sweet talks her in French...Y tenés un infeliz que la chamuya en francés...
What are you doing, what are you doing three times, Mrs. Ramos Laval!¡Qué hacés, tres veces que hacés, señora ramos lavalle!
If when you show off your figure, with that guy on your arm,Si cuando lucís tu talle, con ese coso del brazo,
I don't slap you for not hitting you in the street!¡No te rompo de un tortazo, por no pegarte en la calle!

Madam! But one must see your fancy as a matron!¡Señora! ¡pero hay que ver tu berretín de matrona!
If you remember Ramona, pay her the rent...Sí te acordás de ramona, abonale el alquiler...
Don't act like a high-class lady throwing money around,No te hagás la rastacuer desparramando la guita,
Lower your pride, little girl, with your flashy appearance...Bajá el copete mijita con tu pinta abacanada...
But you are more 'manyada' than the tango 'La Cumparsita'!¡Pero si sos más manyada que el tango la cumparsita!
