Chorra

Thief

Chorra

For being goodPor ser bueno
You put me in miseryMe pusiste a la miseria
You left me in the palm treeMe dejaste en la palmera
You stole even the colorMe afanaste hasta el color
In six monthsEn seis meses
You ate up my little marketMe comiste el mercadito
The booth at the fairLa casilla de la feria
The hook, the counterLa ganchera, el mostrador
Thief!¡Chorra!
You even stole my loveMe robaste hasta el amor
NowAura
I'm so scared of a womanTanto me asusta una mina
That if she sharpens me on the streetQue si en la calle me afila
I stand next to the copMe pongo al la'o del botón

What makes me angrier¡Lo que más bronca me da
Is having been such a fool!Es haber sido tan gil!

If a month ago I had found outSi hace un mes me desayuno
What I found out yesterdayCon lo qu' he sabido ayer
It wasn't me they caughtNo er'a mí que me cachaban
Your womanly schemesTus rebusques de mujer
Today I find out that your momHoy me entero que tu mamá
Noble widow of a warriorNoble viuda de un guerrero
Is the most famous thief¡Es la chorra de más fama
Who has walked on 33rd Street!Que ha pisa'o la treinta y tres!
And it's known that the warriorY es sabido que el guerrero
Who died full of honorQue murió lleno de honor
Didn't die nor was a warriorNi murió ni fue guerrero
Like you fooled meComo m'engrupistes vos
He's in jail, identified¡Está en cana prontuariao
As a member of the mobComo agente de la camorra
Professor of the cudgelProfesor de cachiporra
Thug and swindler!Malandrín y estafador!

Among allEntre todos
I was stripped with a zeroMe pelaron con la cero
Your silhouette was the hookTu silueta fue el anzuelo
Where I went to get caughtDonde yo me fui a ensartar
They swallowedSe tragaron
You, the widow, and the warriorVos, la viuda y el guerrero
What cost me ten yearsLo que me costó diez años
Of patience and of playingDe paciencia y de yugar

Thieves!¡Chorros!
You, your old lady, and your dadVos, tu vieja y tu papá
Beware!¡Guarda!
Be careful because she's looseCuidensé porque anda suelta
If she catches you, she'll turn you overSi los cacha los da vuelta
Won't give you time to runNo les da tiempo a rajar

What makes me angrier¡Lo que más bronca me da
Is having been so stupid!Es haber esta'o tan gil!
