Viejo Smoking (original)Viejo Smoking (translation)
Campaneá cómo el cotorro va quedando despoblado Campaneá how the parrot is becoming depopulated
Todo el lujo es la catrera compadreando sin colchón All the luxury is the catrera compadreando without a mattress
Y mirá este pobre mozo cómo ha perdido el estado And look at this poor young man how he has lost his state
Amargado, pobre y flaco como perro de botón Bitter, poor and skinny as a button dog
Poco a poco todo ha ido de cabeza p’al empeño Little by little everything has gone from head to end
Se dio juego de pileta y hubo que echarse a nadar… There was a pool game and we had to go swimming...
Sólo vos te vas salvando porque pa' mi sos un sueño Only you are saving yourself because for me you are a dream
Del que quiera Dios que nunca me vengan a despertar The one that God wants that they never come to wake me up
Viejo smocking de los tiempos old time tuxedo
En que yo también tallaba… In which I also carved…
¡Cuánta papusa garaba How much papusa garaba
En tus solapas lloró! In your lapels he cried!
Solapas que con su brillo Lapels that with their shine
Parece que encandilaban It seems that they dazzled
Y que donde iba sentaban And that where he went they sat
Mi fama de gigoló My fame as a gigolo
Yo no siento la tristeza de saberme derrotado I do not feel the sadness of knowing myself defeated
Y no me amarga el recuerdo de mi pasado esplendor; And the memory of my past splendor does not make me bitter;
No me arrepiento del vento ni los años que he tirado I do not regret the event or the years I have wasted
Pero lloro al verme solo, sin amigos, sin amor; But I cry when I see myself alone, without friends, without love;
Sin una mano que venga a llevarme una parada Without a hand to come take me to a stop
Sin una mujer que alegre el resto de mi vivir… Without a woman to cheer up the rest of my life...
¡Vas a ver que un día de éstos te voy a poner de almohada You're going to see that one of these days I'm going to put you as a pillow
Y, tirao en la catrera, me voy a dejar morir! And, thrown in the catrera, I'm going to let myself die!
Viejo smocking, cuántas veces Old smocking, how many times
La milonguera más papa The coolest milonguera
El brillo de tu solapa The shine of your lapel
De estuque y carmín manchó Stucco and carmine stained
Y en mis desplantes de guapo And in my handsome rudeness
¡cuántos llantos te mojaron! How many tears wet you!
¡cuántos taitas envidiaron how many taitas envied
Mi fama de gigoló!My gigolo fame!
