Calm Down, Old Man, Calm Down

Tita Merello

Tranquilo, Viejo, Tranquilo

Todo el mundo la dispara
Se atropella y no repara
Que está haciendo un disparate
Todos gritan, aceleran
Y parece que tuvieran
Refucilos en el mate
Es un siglo de aspirinas
Surmenages y de locos
Y a los que no están piantados
Se ve que les falta poco
Si tenés muchos problemas
Y buscás la solución
No te aflijas, andá a Vieytes
Porque en Vieytes dan razón

Tranquilo y a no agitarse
Que es peligroso desesperarse
La vida es corta
Y al pasarla a té de tilo
Preocupado y con estrilo
Me parece que es atroz
Tranquilo, viejo, tranquilo
Y al final, primero vos

No te apures timoteo
Si te rajan del empleo
Y te dejan ambulante
Y si tu mujer berrea
O tu suegra te pelea
Vos mandate un buen calmante

Si la vida está muy cara
O te están acogotando
No te apartes de la huella
Aunque vengan patinando
Suprimí las disparadas
Y acercate a la razón
Sofrenate y acordate
Que tenés un corazón

Tranquilo y a no agitarse
Que es peligroso desesperarse
La vida es corta
Y al pasarla a té de tilo
Preocupado y con estrilo eh che
Me parece que es atroz
Tranquilo, viejo, tranquilo
Y al final, primero vos

Calm Down, Old Man, Calm Down

Everyone shoots it
It's run over and doesn't repair
That it's making a mess
Everyone shouts, accelerates
And it seems like they have
Reflections in the mate
It's a century of aspirins
Overwork and crazies
And those who aren't crazy
It seems they're close
If you have many problems
And seek the solution
Don't worry, go to Vieytes
Because in Vieytes they give reason

Calm down and don't get worked up
Because it's dangerous to despair
Life is short
And when passing it to linden tea
Worried and with a straw
It seems atrocious
Calm down, old man, calm down
And in the end, you first

Don't rush, Timoteo
If you get fired from your job
And they leave you wandering
And if your wife bellows
Or your mother-in-law fights you
Just take a good sedative

If life is very expensive
Or they're suffocating you
Don't stray from the path
Even if they come skating
Suppress the outbursts
And get closer to reason
Calm down and remember
That you have a heart

Calm down and don't get worked up
Because it's dangerous to despair
Life is short
And when passing it to linden tea
Worried and with a straw, hey
It seems atrocious
Calm down, old man, calm down
And in the end, you first
