Lyrics of Tranquilo Viejo, Tranquilo - Tita Merello

Tranquilo Viejo, Tranquilo (original)

Todo el mundo la dispara,
Se atropella y no repara
Que está haciendo un disparate.
Todos gritan, aceleran
Y parece que tuvieran
Refusilos en el mate.
Es un siglo de aspirinas,
Surmenages y de locos
Y a los que no están piantados,
Se ve que les falta poco.
Si tenés muchos problemas
Y buscás la solución,
No te aflijas, andá a Vieytes,
Porque en Vieytes dan razón.
Tranquilo y a no agitarse,
Que es peligroso desesperarse.
La vida es corta
Y al pasarla a té de tilo,
Preocupado y con estrilo
Me parece que es atroz.
Tranquilo, viejo, tranquilo,
Que al final, primero vos…
No te apures Timoteo
Si te rajan del empleo
Y te dejan ambulante.
Y si tu mujer berrea
O tu suegra te pelea,
Vos tomate un buen calmante.
Si la vida está muy cara
O te están acogotando,
No te apartes de la huella
Aunque vengas patinando.
Suprimí las disparadas
Y acercate a la razón,
Sofrenate y acordate
Que tenés un corazón.
Tranquilo y a no agitarse,
Que es peligroso desesperarse.
La vida es corta
Y al pasarla a té de tilo,
Preocupado y con estrilo, eh che
Me parece que es atroz.
Tranquilo, viejo, tranquilo,
Que al final, primero vos…

(translation)

Everybody shoot it
She runs over and does not repair
That she is doing nonsense.
Everybody scream, speed up
And it seems they have
Refusals in the mate.
It's a century of aspirin
Surmenages and crazy
And to those who are not piantados,
It is seen that they lack little.
If you have many problems
And you look for the solution,
Don't worry, go to Vieytes,
Because in Vieytes they are right.
Calm down and don't get agitated,
That it is dangerous to despair.
Life is short
And when passing it to linden tea,
Worried and hysterical
I think it's appalling.
Calm down, old man, calm down,
That in the end, first you...
Don't hurry Timothy
If they fire you from your job
And they leave you wandering.
And if your wife bawls
Or your mother-in-law fights you,
You take a good painkiller.
If life is very expensive
Or they are choking you,
Stay on track
Even if you come skating.
I suppressed the shots
And get closer to reason,
Calm down and remember
That you have a heart.
Calm down and don't get agitated,
That it is dangerous to despair.
Life is short
And when passing it to linden tea,
Worried and in style, eh che
I think it's appalling.
Calm down, old man, calm down,
That in the end, first you...
