Lyrics and translation Alfredo de Angelis feat. Lalo Martel - No Aflojes




No Aflojes
Don't Give Up
Vos, que fuiste de todos el más púa,
You, who was the most flamboyant of them all,
Batí con qué ganzúa
Tell me with what crowbar did they
Piantaron tus hazañas...
Uproot your exploits...
Por tu ausencia en las borracherías
Because of your absence from the drinking dens
Cambió la estantería
The shelves have changed
El gusto de las cañas...
The taste of beer...
Compadrito de aquellos tiempos,
Dude from those days,
Soy el tango hecho lamento,
I am the tango made of lament,
Corro parejo con tu pintón,
I run parallel to your pint,
¡sufro tu misma emoción!
I suffer the same emotion!
Vos fuiste el rey del bailongo
You were the king of the dance hall
En lo de Laura y la Vasca...
At Laura's and La Vasca's...
¡Había que ver las churrascas
We had to see the ladies
Cómo soñaban tras tuyo!
How they dreamed after your steps!
¡Alzaba cada murmullo
Each murmur raised
Tu taconear compadrón
Your ruffian's footwork,
Que era como flor de yuyo
That was like a flower of a weed
Que embrujaba el corazón!
That bewitched the heart!
Maula el tiempo te basureó de asalto
Damn, time threw you in the trash by assault
Al revocar de asfalto
When it repaved with asphalt
Las calles de tu barrio...
The streets of your neighborhood...
No es que quiera tomarlo tan a pecho
It's not that I want to take it so seriously
¡pero es que no hay derecho
But there's just no right
Que hoy talle tanto otario!
That today so many chumps get to strut around!
Macho lindo de aquel pasado,
Handsome devil from that bygone era,
Te saludo desconsolado,
I greet you disconsolately,
Porque en tu reino sentimental
Because on your sentimental throne
Vuelco la esquina final.
I turn the final corner.
Vos fuiste el rey del bailongo
You were the king of the dance hall
En lo de Laura y la Vasca...
At Laura's and La Vasca's...
¡Había que ver las churrascas
We had to see the ladies
Cómo soñaban tras tuyo!
How they dreamed after your steps!
¡Alzaba cada murmullo
Each murmur raised
Tu taconear compadrón
Your ruffian's footwork,
Que era como flor de yuyo
That was like a flower of a weed
Que embrujaba el corazón!
That bewitched the heart!
