Pero yo sé

Llegando la noche
recién te levantas
y sales ufano
a buscar un beguén.
Lucís con orgullo
tu estampa elegante
sentado muy muelle
en tu regia baqué.
Paseás por Corrientes,
paseas por Florida,
te das una vida
mejor que un pachá.
De regios programas
tenés a montones...
Con clase y dinero
de todo tendrás.

Pero yo sé que metido
vivís penando un querer,
que querés hallar olvido
cambiando tanta mujer...
Yo sé que en las madrugadas,
cuando las farras dejás,
sentís tu pecho oprimido
por un recuerdo querido
y te pones a llorar.

Con tanta aventura,
con toda tu andanza,
llevaste tu vida
tan sólo al placer.
Con todo el dinero
que siempre has tenido
todos tus caprichos
lograste vencer.

Pensar que ese brillo
que fácil ostentas
no sabe la gente
que es puro disfraz.
Tu orgullo de necio
muy bien los engaña...
No quieres que nadie
lo sepa jamás.

English translation

Night falls
you just wake up
and go out proudly
to look for a beguén.
You shine with pride
your elegant appearance
sitting very spring
in your regal baqué.
You stroll along Corrientes,
you stroll along Florida,
you give yourself a life
better than a pacha.
Of regal programs
you have plenty of them...
With class and money
you'll have everything.

But I know that you
you live in sorrow for a want,
that you want to find oblivion
changing so many women...
I know that in the early mornings,
when you leave the parties,
you feel your chest oppressed
by a dear memory
and you start to cry.

With so much adventure,
with all your wanderings,
you led your life
only to pleasure.
With all the money
you've always had
all your whims
you managed to conquer.

To think that the shine
that you easily flaunt
people don't know
that it is pure disguise.
Your foolish pride
very well deceives them...
You don't want anyone
to ever know.
