Pato

Ayer te vi pasar con aires de bacán
en una 'voituret' copera.
Te saludé y vos te hiciste el gil
como si no me conocieras;
llevabas en tu cara blanca de fifí
más polvos que una carretera.
Fue tal la bronca que yo me agarré
Que quise gritarte así:

Pato,
fuiste en todo momento.
Pato,
aunque quieras despistar.
Seco,
hoy tenés apartamento
y te pasan mucho vento
pa' lucirte en el Pigall.
Pato,
que peinás a la gomina,
hoy sos
milonguero y compadrón.
Cuando
te dé el espiante la mina
volverás por nuestra esquina
a mangar para el bullón.

De lo que fuiste ayer ya nada te quedó
muchacho rante de mi barrio,
y quién te vio como te he visto yo
nota que sos un pobre otario.
Recuerda que la vida de cualquier bacán
tiene más vueltas que la oreja,
y si un día la suerte no da,
al suburbio volverás.

English translation

Yesterday I saw you passing by with the air of a cool guy
in a 'voituret' copera.
I greeted you and you pretended to be a fool
as if you didn't know me;
you wore on your white fifi face
more powder than a highway.
I was so angry that I got so upset
That I wanted to yell at you like this:

Duck,
you were at all times.
Duck,
even if you want to mislead.
Dry,
today you have an apartment
and you get a lot of wind
to show off at the Pigall.
Duck,
you comb your hair with hair gel,
today you are
milonguero and compadrón.
When
the mine gives you the spiracle
you'll come back to our corner
to handle for the bullón.

Of what you were yesterday you have nothing left
boy in the front of my neighborhood,
and whoever saw you as I have seen you
can see that you are a poor otarian.
Remember that the life of any bacán
has more twists and turns than an ear,
and if one day the luck doesn't give,
you will return to the suburb.
