Lyrics and translation Almafuerte - El pibe tigre




El pibe tigre
The Pibe Tigre
Mañana es ya
Tomorrow is now
Y sin achiques
And without hesitation
El pibe marcha pedaleando
The kid rides his bike
A laburar
To work
Desayuno mate de origen
Breakfast mate of origin
Masticó algo prendió un faso
Chewed something lit a cigarette
Y se alejó
And he walked away
A ganarse un hueso como changarín
To earn a bone as a laborer
De un trompa extranjero que compra el país
From a foreign millionaire who buys the country
Y lo derrite después
And melts it down later
Haciendo al pibe que estibe
Making the kid who works
Lo vi volver, tarde y deshecho
I saw him come back, late and broken
De su batalla cotidiana
From his daily battle
Hecha hoy canción
Made into a song today
Sonrió al entrar
He smiled when he came in
Tomó alimento
He took food
Dejó en la mesa lo ganado, y se acostó
He left what he had earned on the table, and went to bed
Rezó a Dios pidiendo antes de dormir
He prayed to God before going to sleep
Por ser contratado, obteniendo así
To be hired, thus obtaining
Los beneficios de ser, un efectivo por ley
The benefits of being an effective employee by law
Mañana es ya
Tomorrow is now
Despierta el pibe
The kid wakes up
Esperanzado nuevamente va otra vez
Hoping again he goes again
Duro al pedal, pitando un firme
Hard on the pedal, smoking a cigarette
De obra social sus sueños son
His dreams are of social works
Hasta que ve
Until he sees
Acreeditadores, agitándose
Creditors, fussing
El galpón vacío la yuta y el juez
The empty shed, the cop and the judge
Y a quienes dicen que él
And those who say that he
Cargó el derrite ayer
He carried the meltdown yesterday
Un oficial se lleva al pibe
An officer takes the kid away
Como implicado en el embrollo que estalló
As involved in the mess that broke out
Y en su natal país de origen
And in his native country of origin
El trompa gringo aterrizá con el montón
The gringo millionaire lands with the crowd
Dale, cantá pibe!
Come on, sing kid!
Dice el golpeador
Says the beater
Dónde está el derrite?
Where's the meltdown?
Quién se lo llevó?
Who took it?
Una vez libre volvió
Once free, he returned
Sin ser el mismo Ya no
Not the same anymore
Le dieron sin asco, hasta que cayó
They beat him up mercilessly, until he fell
Para ser pateado, hasta que murió
To be kicked, until he died
El pibe tigre aquel
The kid tigre that
Del barrio Carlos Gardel
From the Carlos Gardel neighborhood
Fué a cajón cerrado
It was in a closed coffin
Que se lo veló
That he was veiled
Pues fué desmembrado como donador
For he was dismembered as a donor
El pibe tigre aquel del Barrio Carlos Gardel
The kid tiger of the Carlos Gardel neighborhood
Por qué será, que aún es esto
Why is it that still this
Posible de ser?
Possible to be?
