Song information On this page you can read the lyrics of the song Mano A Mano , by - Caetano Veloso. Mano A Mano(original) |
| Rechiflao en mi tristeza, hoy te evoco y veo que has sido |
| en mi pobre vida paria sólo una buena mujer; |
| tu presencia de bacana puso calor en mi nido, |
| fuiste buena, consecuente, y yo sé que me has querido |
| como no quisiste a nadie, como no podrás querer. |
| Se dio el juego de remanye cuando vos, pobre percanta, |
| gambeteabas la pobreza en la casa de pensión; |
| hoy sos toda una bacana, la vida te ríe y canta, |
| los morlacos del otario los tirás a la marchanta |
| como juega el gato maula con el mísero ratón. |
| Hoy tenés el mate lleno de infelices ilusiones: |
| te engrupieron los otarios, las amigas, el gavión, |
| la milonga entre magnates con sus locas tentaciones |
| donde triunfan y claudican milongueras pretensiones |
| se te ha entrado muy adentro en el pobre corazón. |
| Nada debo agradecerte, mano a mano hemos quedado |
| no me importa lo que has hecho, lo que hacés ni lo que harás; |
| los favores recibidos creo habértelos pagado |
| y si alguna deuda chica sin querer se me ha olvidado |
| en la cuenta del otario que tenés se la cargás. |
| Mientras tanto, que tus triunfos, pobres triunfos pasajeros, |
| sean una larga fila de riquezas y placer; |
| que el bacán que te acamala tenga pesos duraderos, |
| que te abrás en las paradas con cafishios milongueros, |
| y que digan los muchachos: «Es una buena mujer». |
| Y mañana, cuando seas descolocado mueble viejo |
| y no tengas esperanzas en el pobre corazón, |
| si precisás una ayuda, si te hace falta un consejo, |
| acordate de este amigo que ha de jugarse el pellejo |
| p’ayudarte en lo que pueda cuando llegue la ocasión. |
| (translation) |
| I whistle in my sadness, today I evoke you and I see that you have been |
| in my poor life only a good woman pariah; |
| your cool presence put heat in my nest, |
| you were good, consistent, and I know you loved me |
| like you didn't love anyone, like you won't be able to love. |
| The game of remanye occurred when you, poor percanta, |
| you evaded poverty in the boarding house; |
| today you are a real cool, life laughs at you and sings, |
| the morlacos of the otario you throw them to the march |
| how the maula cat plays with the miserable mouse. |
| Today you have mate full of unhappy illusions: |
| the otarians, the friends, the gabion, grouped you |
| the milonga between tycoons with its crazy temptations |
| where milonga pretensions triumph and surrender |
| it has entered deep into your poor heart. |
| I have nothing to thank you for, hand in hand we have stayed |
| I do not care what you have done, what you do or what you will do; |
| I think I have repaid the favors received |
| and if I accidentally forgot some small debt |
| In the account of the notary that you have, you load it. |
| Meanwhile, may your triumphs, poor passing triumphs, |
| be a long line of riches and pleasure; |
| that the bacán that sleeps you has lasting weights, |
| that you open up at the stops with cafishios milongueros, |
| and let the boys say: «she is a good woman». |
| And tomorrow, when you are misplaced old furniture |
| and do not have hopes in the poor heart, |
| if you need help, if you need advice, |
| remember this friend who has to risk his skin |
| to help you in whatever way I can when the time comes. |
