La Gayola(original) |
¡No te asustes ni me huyas… No he venido pa' vengarme |
Si mañana, justamente, yo me voy pa' no volver… |
He venido a despedirme y el gustazo quiero darme |
De mirarte frente a frente y en tus ojos contemplarme |
Silenciosa, largamente, como me miraba ayer… |
He venido pa’que juntos recordemos el pasado |
Como dos buenos amigos que hace rato no se ven; |
A acordarme de aquel tiempo en que yo era un hombre honrado |
Y el cariño de mi madre era un poncho que había echado |
Sobre mi alma noble y buena contra el frío del desdén |
Una noche fue la muerte quien vistió mi alma de duelo |
A mi tierna madrecita la llamó a su lado Dios… |
Y en mis sueños parecía que la pobre, desde el cielo |
Me decía que eras buena, que confiara siempre en vos |
Pero me jugaste sucio y, sediento de venganza… |
Mi cuchillo en un mal rato envainé en un corazón… |
Y, más tarde, ya sereno, muerta mi única esperanza |
Unas lágrimas amargas las sequé en un bodegón |
Me encerraron muchos años en la sórdida gayola |
Y una tarde me libraron… pa' mi bien… o pa' mi mal… |
Fui sin rumbo por las calles y rodé como una bola; |
Por la gracia de un mendrugo, ¡cuantas veces hice cola! |
Las auroras me encontraron largo a largo en un umbral |
Hoy ya no me queda nada; |
ni un refugio…¡Estoy tan pobre! |
Solamente vine a verte pa' dejarte mi perdón… |
Te lo juro; |
estoy contento que la dicha a vos te sobre… |
Voy a trabajar muy lejos… a juntar algunos cobres |
Pa' que no me falten flores cuando esté dentro 'el cajón |
(translation) |
Don't be scared or run away from me... I have not come to take revenge |
Yes, tomorrow, precisely, I am leaving so as not to return… |
I have come to say goodbye and I want to treat myself |
To look at you face to face and in your eyes contemplate me |
Silently, for a long time, as he looked at me yesterday… |
I have come so that together we can remember the past |
Like two good friends who haven't seen each other for a while; |
To remember that time when I was an honest man |
And my mother's love was a poncho that she had thrown |
On my noble and good soul against the cold of disdain |
One night it was death who dressed my mourning soul |
He called my tender little mother by her side God... |
And in my dreams she seemed like the poor thing, from heaven |
She told me that you were good, that she always trusted you |
But you played me dirty and, thirsty for revenge... |
My knife in a bad moment I sheathed in a heart... |
And later, already serene, dead my only hope |
Some bitter tears I dried in a still life |
They locked me up for many years in the sordid gayola |
And one afternoon they freed me... for my good... or for my bad... |
I went aimlessly through the streets and rolled like a ball; |
By the grace of a crust, how many times did I queue up! |
The auroras found me long at a threshold |
Today I have nothing left; |
not even a shelter…I am so poor! |
I only came to see you to leave you my forgiveness... |
I swear; |
I am happy that happiness is over you... |
I'm going to work far away... to collect some coppers |
So that I don't lack flowers when the drawer is inside |
