Buenos Muchachos

Good Boys

Buenos Muchachos

It's normal to see them bettingEs normal verlos apostar
To hit olive pitsA embocar carozos de aceitunas
Without much luckSin demasiada fortuna
In the prominent cleavage of the ladies.En el escote prominente de las damas.
They always drink wineSiempre se toman el vino
From the neck of the demijohnsDel pico de las damajuanas
And end up being friendsY terminan siendo amigos
With the husbands of the harlots.De los maridos de las fulanas.

But they are good boysPero son buenos muchachos
The ones who play with me.Los que tocan conmigo.
They are such good boysSon tan buenos muchachos
Because they are my friends.Porque son mis amigos.

Like Serrat's henchmenComo los secuaces de Serrat
They pee in the middle of the sidewalkOrinan en mitad de la vereda
Not because they are bursting, butNo porque estén que se mean, sino
So they can be seen peeing.Pa' que los vean mear.
They make love songsHacen canciones de amor
To seduce the girlsPara seducir a las muchachas
And collect panties, sir,Y coleccionan bombachas, señor,
Of all types and colors.De todo tipo y color.

But they are good boysPero son buenos muchachos
The ones who play with me.Los que tocan conmigo.
They are such good boysSon tan buenos muchachos
Because they are my friends.Porque son mis amigos.

More than one has left their heartMás de uno ha dejado el corazón
Parked in the hallwayEstacionado en el zaguán
Of some houseDe alguna casa
And during breakfast at the hotelY durante el desayuno en el hotel
They look for it at the bottom of the cup.Lo busca en el fondo de la taza.
None of them like to workA ninguno le gusta laburar
They are not lovers of hypocrisyNo son amantes de la hipocresía
They formed a rock bandArmaron una banda de rock
To avoid problems with the police.Pa' no tener problemas con la policía.

But they are good boysPero son buenos muchachos
The ones who play with me.Los que tocan conmigo.
They are such good boysSon tan buenos muchachos
Because they are my friends.Porque son mis amigos.
