Old Rooster

Gallo Viejo

What were you doing the other night, you old shark,¿Qué hacías la otra noche, che viejo tiburón,
riding in a car down Alvear Avenue?paseándote en un coche por la Avenida Alvear?
Without a group... what a babe you had! No wonder¡Sin grupo... qué papusa llevaba! Con razón
everyone was staring at you as you passed by:que todos te enfocaban, batiéndote al pasar:
"Wow! What a couple! Hey, old man, where are you going"¡Araca! ¡Qué pareja! ¿Che, viejo, dónde vas
with that real babe that makes you sigh?..."con esa dona posta que te hace suspirar?..."
And so, from mouth to mouth,Y así, de boca en boca,
things were being said...las cosas se decían...
They didn't bother youA vos no te dolían
but they made me mad...y a mí me hacían broncar...

Old RoosterGallo Viejo
you have too many thorns...las púas te están sobrando...
keep on wastingseguí nomás derrochando
that tempting wind...ese vento tentador...
Old Rooster in lifeGallo Viejo que en la vida
you're truly a King of Gold!¡sos sin cuento un Rey de Oro!
You buy kissesA todas comprás
from all of them...un beso de amor...
and then forget them...y las olvidás...

Isn't it crappy the art of chatting?...¿No es cierto que es fulero el arte de charlar?...
What do those things want from you, if you're cool?...¿Qué quiere esos cosos de vos, si sos bacán?...
They say that girl just wants to hook upTe baten que esa piba sólo se quiere armar
walking by your side and who knows what else...paseando al lado tuyo y que sé yo qué más...
That you're an old perv and you waste the windQue sos un viejo verde y el vento derrochás
and that you don't even close your eyes for entire nights...y que noches enteras los ojos no pegás...
Like old gossipy womenComo viejas comadres
they keep accusing youte van haciendo cargos
and say that you're hidingy dicen que sos largos
the years you've lived...los años que ocultás...
