Cambalache (original)Cambalache (translation)
Que el mundo fue y será That the world was and will be
Una porquería, ya lo sé A piece of crap, I already know
En el quinientos seis In the five hundred six
Y en el dos mil, también And in two thousand, too
Que siempre ha habido chorros That there have always been jets
Maquiavelos y estafaos Machiavelli and swindlers
Contentos y amargaos happy and bitter
Varones y dublés Men and dubles
Pero que el siglo veinte But that the twentieth century
Es un despliegue It's a deployment
De maldá insolente Of evil insolent
Ya no hay quien lo niegue There is no longer anyone who denies it
Vivimos revolcaos en un merengue We live wallowing in a meringue
Y en el mismo lodo And in the same mud
Todos manoseaos Everybody grope
Hoy resulta que es lo mismo Today it turns out it's the same
Ser derecho que traidor Being right than traitor
Ignorante, sabio, chorro ignorant, wise, squirt
Generoso o estafador Generous or swindler
¡Todo es igual! Everything is the same!
¡Nada es mejor! Nothing is better!
Lo mismo un burro the same a donkey
Que un gran profesor what a great teacher
No hay aplazaos ni escalafón There are no postponements or steps
Los ignorantes nos han igualao The ignorant have equaled us
Si uno vive en la impostura If one lives in imposture
Y otro roba en su ambición And another steals in his ambition
Da lo mismo que sea cura It doesn't matter if it's a cure
Colchonero, Rey de Bastos Mattress Maker, King of Wands
Caradura o polizón Cheeky or stowaway
¡Qué falta de respeto what a lack of respect
Qué atropello a la razón! What an outrage to reason!
Cualquiera es un señor Anyone is a gentleman
Cualquiera es un ladrón Anyone is a thief
Mezclao con Stavisky Mix with Stavisky
Va Don Bosco y La Mignon Goes Don Bosco and La Mignon
Don Chicho y Napoleón Don Chicho and Napoleon
Carnera y San Martín Carnera and San Martin
Igual que en la vidriera Just like in the window
Irrespetuosa disrespectful
De los cambalaches of the exchanges
Se ha mezclao la vida life has been mixed
Y herida por un sable sin remache And wounded by a saber without a rivet
Ves llorar La Biblia You see the Bible cry
Junto a un calefón Next to a heater
Siglo veinte, cambalache Twentieth century, exchange
Problemático y febril troublesome and feverish
El que no llora no mama He who does not cry does not breastfeed
Y el que no afana es un gil And the one who does not strive is a gil
Dale, nomás Come on, just
Dale, que va Come on, what's up?
Que allá en el Horno that there in the oven
Nos vamo' a encontrar We are going to meet
No pienses más, sentate a un lao Don't think anymore, sit on one side
Que a nadie importa si naciste honrao That nobody cares if you were born honorable
Es lo mismo el que labura It is the same who works
Noche y día como un buey Night and day like an ox
Que el que vive de los otros That the one who lives from the others
Que el que mata, que el que cura That the one who kills, that the one who heals
O está fuera de la leyOr he is outlaw
