Lyrics of Sueldo - Nacha Guevara

Sueldo (original)

Aquella esperanza que cabía en un dedal
Aquel ir y venir del sueño
Aquel horóscopo de un larguísimo viaje
Aquella confianza desde no sé cuándo
Aquel juramento hasta no sé dónde
Ese alguien que yo hubiera podido ser
Con otro ritmo y alguna lotería
En fin, para decirlo de una vez por todas
Aquella esperanza que cabía en un dedal
Evidentemente, no cabe en este sobre
Con sucios papeles de tantas manos sucias
Que me pagan, es lógico, en cada veintinueve
Por tener los libros rubricados al día
Y dejar que, simplemente, transcurra la vida

(translation)

That hope that fit in a thimble
That coming and going of the dream
That horoscope of a very long journey
That confidence since I don't know when
That oath until I don't know where
That someone that I could have been
With another rhythm and some lottery
Anyway, to say it once and for all
That hope that fit in a thimble
Obviously, it does not fit in this envelope
With dirty papers from so many dirty hands
That they pay me, it is logical, in every twenty-nine
For having the books signed up to date
And just let life go by
