Georgia Priskou & Loukas Balokas – El Tigre Millan by Juan D’Arienzo, #sultanstango '22. Part -2-

Español

Picao de viruela, bastante morocho, encrespao el pelo lo mismo que mota un hondo barbijo a su cara rota, le daba un aspecto de taita matón. De carácter hosco, bien fornido y fuerte afrontó el peligro cual bravo titán, jamás tuvo miedo ni aún ante la muerte porque era muy hombre 'El Tigre Millán' Pobre Tigre que una noche en Puente Alsina dos cobardes lo mataron a traición. Era guapo, de esos guapos más temidos que la punta desgarrante de un facón. Mala suerte, pobre Tigre, siempre tuvo en cuestiones de escolazos y de amor. Pues no era bien parecido y fatalmente metido con la mujer que adoró, nunca fue correspondido y ella al fin lo traicionó. Cuentan que una noche, bramó como fiera en un entrevero, que hasta hoy se comenta. Repartiendo hachazos, ¡era una tormenta! Mostró su coraje venciendo a un malón. ¡Parece mentira, que hombres de tu laya mueran siempre en manos de un ruin cobardón! ¡Hoy la muchachada, Tigre, te recuerda y aquella culpable llora su traición.

It seems unbelievable that men of your kind always die in the hands of a cowardly coward! Today the young people, Tiger, remember you and the guilty one mourns his betrayal.
