Las Cuarenta (original)Las Cuarenta (translation)
Con el pucho de la vida apretado entre los labios With the fist of life pressed between the lips
La mirada turbia y fría The cloudy and cold look
Y un poco lento el andar And a little slow walking
Dobló la esquina del barrio, curda ya de recuerdos He turned the corner of the neighborhood, Kurdish already with memories
Como volcando un veneno esto se le oyó cantar As pouring out a poison this was heard singing
Vieja calle de mi barrio donde he dado el primer paso Old street in my neighborhood where I took the first step
Vuelvo a vos cansado el mazo en inútil barajar I return to you tired the deck in useless shuffling
Con una llaga en el pecho, con mi sueño hecho pedazos With a sore on my chest, with my dream shattered
Que se rompió en un abrazo que me diera la verdad That she broke into a hug to give me the truth
Aprendí todo lo bueno, aprendí todo lo malo I learned all the good, I learned all the bad
Sé del beso que se compra, sé del beso que se da; I know about the kiss that is bought, I know about the kiss that is given;
Del amigo que es amigo siempre y cuando le convenga Of the friend who is a friend as long as it suits him
Y sé que con mucha plata uno vale mucho más And I know that with a lot of money one is worth much more
Aprendí que en esta vida hay que llorar si otros lloran I learned that in this life you have to cry if others cry
Y si la murga se ríe, uno se debe reír; And if the murga laughs, one must laugh;
No pensar ni equivocado… Don't think or wrong...
¡para qué, si igual se vive! What for, if you still live!
¡y además corrés el riesgo que te bauticen gil! And besides, you run the risk of being baptized gil!
La vez que quise ser bueno en la cara se me rieron; The time I wanted to be good to the face they laughed at me;
Cuando grité una injusticia, la fuerza me hizo callar; When I shouted an injustice, force silenced me;
La experiencia fue mi amante; The experience was my lover;
El desengaño, mi amigo… The disappointment, my friend…
Cada carta tiene contra y toda contra se da! Each card has a counter and every counter is given!
Hoy no creo ni en mí mismo I do not even believe in myself today
Todo es truco, todo es falso It's all trick, it's all fake
Y aquél, el que está más alto, es igual a los demás And that one, the one that is higher, is equal to the others
Por eso, no has de extrañarte si, alguna noche, borracho Therefore, you should not be surprised if, some night, drunk
Me vieras pasar del brazo con quien no debo pasar You saw me walk arm in arm with who I shouldn't walk
Aprendí todo lo bueno, aprendí todo lo malo I learned all the good, I learned all the bad
Sé del beso que se compra I know about the kiss that is bought
Sé del beso que se da; I know about the kiss that is given;
Del amigo que es amigo From the friend who is a friend
Siempre y cuando le convenga As long as it suits you
Y sé que con mucha plata uno vale mucho más And I know that with a lot of money one is worth much more
Aprendí que en esta vida hay que llorar I learned that in this life you have to cry
Si otros lloran y si la murga se ríe uno se debe reír If others cry and if the murga laughs, one should laugh
No pensar ni equivocado para qué Don't think or mistake for what
Si igual se vive y además corrés el riesgo If you live the same and you also run the risk
Que te bauticen gil that they baptize you gil
Puerto moruno de cai cai moorish port
Y puerto que te vi pasar… And port that I saw you pass...
Con la esmeralda en el cielo With the emerald in the sky
Con la esmeralda en el mar… With the emerald in the sea…
Le pregunte yo a los santos I asked the saints
Una noche que llovia… One night it rained...
Le pregunte yo a los santos I asked the saints
Una noche que llovia… One night it rained...
Haber si tu me querias have if you loved me
Tanto como me decias As much as you told me
Y los santos me dijeron… And the saints told me…
Que era yo quien no sabias that it was me who did not know
Si quererte… If loving you...
Haya yai, haya yai corazon…(bis) Haya yai, hay yai heart…(bis)
Hechale semilla a las maracas pa que suenen…(bis)Seed the maracas so that they sound… (bis)
