Amarroto (part. Alberto Echagüe)

You spent thirty AugustsTe pasastes treinta agostos
From one corner to anotherDe una esquina hasta otra esquina
Without knowing she was a babeSin saber que era una mina
Not even a drink or a coffeeNi una copa ni un café

You played her like a foolLa yugabas como un burro
And hooked a young girlY amurabas neneguina
Practicing infantryPracticando infantería
From your house to the workshopDe tu casa hasta el taller

Soccer, gambling, and racesFútbol, timbas y carreras
Were indecent thingsEran cosas indecentes
Only movies were your viceSolo el cine era tu vicio
If you could moochSi podías garronear

And one time you showed upY una vuelta que asomaste
The onlookers on CorrientesLos mirones por Corrientes
When you got dizzy with their lightsAl marearte con sus luces
They had to help youTe tuvieron que auxiliar

Son of a gun, stay stillHijo de, quedate quieto
And don't move a muscleY las zainas, no te muevas
You never, never scratched yourselfNunca, nunca te rascaste
Even with the measlesNi teniendo el sarampión

What a loserFlor de chaucha
Here on the cornerAquí en la esquina
You didn't get lucky at allNo ligaste ni una breva
Because you were acting like a foolPorque andabas como un lonyi
Sweet-talking to the buttonChamuyandolo al botón

You didn't have a single friendNo tenías ni un amigo
The ox only licks itself wellEl buey solo bien sé lame
According to your philosophySegún tu filosofía
Of uncontrolled tangleDe amarroto sin control

And you kneaded the billsY amasabas los billetes
Like someone making a salamiCómo quién hace un salame
Working like a slaveLaburando de exclavacho
Like a fool from dawn to duskCómo un gil de Sol a Sol

Today I see you all tied upHoy te veo engayolao
You caught a spinsterTe chapo una solterona
Who could be your grannyQue podía ser tu nona
And who is all your passionY que es toda tu pasión
And you keep tanglingY seguís amarrocando
So that she, your darlingPara que ella tu monona
Acts like a great princessSe las de gran princesa
In these days of the dudeA estos días del chabón

In the bank of lifeEn el banco dé la vida
In the end, you always loseAl final siempre se pierde
There's no shroud with pocketsNo hay mortaja con bolsillos
When it's time to goA la hora de partir

You don't even knowVos qué no sabes siquiera
About a green flag endingDe un final bandera verde
Tell me, hey tangled oneAclárame che amarroto
Why do you want to livePara que querés vivir
