Lyrics and translation Carlos Gardel - Gloria




Gloria
Glory
Atención, caballeros
Attention, gentlemen
Una que no entre por el ala de bacana
A woman who doesn't fall for a rich man's flattery
Pareciera el bullying, sonriente fidelidad
It seems like a ruse, a deceptively false faithfulness
Tenés vento, sos un gran señor
You have charm, you're a great lord
Pero a no me vas a engrupir
But you're not going to fool me
Con tus frases de mentido amor
With your insincere words of love
Perdés tiempo, ya podés seguir
You're wasting your time, you can move on
Desde el pique, viejo, te Juné
From the start, old man, I saw through you
La intención de quererme comprar
Your intention to buy my affection
Pero yo soy de buen pedigree
But I come from a good lineage
A otra puerta andá a golpear
Go knock on another door
Viejito, salud, podés espiantar
Old man, take care, you can take off
Que mi juventud no es flor pa′ tu ojal
My youth is not a flower for your lapel
La gloria que vos a me ofrecés
The glory you offer me
Guárdala mejor para otra mujer
Save that for another woman
Mi pibe no es bacán de bastón
My boy is not a rich man with a cane
Pero, has de saber, tiene corazón
But let me tell you, he has a heart
Y yo soy para él; pues bien yo lo
And I am his; I know that well
No hay gloria mayor que la del amor
There is no greater glory than that of love
Yo no quiero farras ni champán
I don't want parties or champagne
Ni vivir en un petit hotel
Or to live in a fancy hotel
Y a la voituré que vos me das
And the luxurious car you offer me
Yo prefiero un coche de alquiler
I prefer a humble taxi
Y un consejo sano te daré
And I'll give you a piece of advice
Pa' ponerle al dialoguito fin
To end this conversation
Que comprés un peine y te saqués
Buy yourself a comb and get rid of
Del altillo el berretín
Your ridiculous airs
Viejito, salud, podés espiantar
Old man, take care, you can take off
Que mi juventud no es flor pa′ tu ojal
My youth is not a flower for your lapel
La gloria que vos a me ofrecés
The glory you offer me
Guárdala mejor para otra mujer
Save that for another woman
Mi pibe no es bacán de bastón
My boy is not a rich man with a cane
Pero, has de saber, tiene corazón
But let me tell you, he has a heart
Y yo soy para él; pues bien yo lo
And I am his; I know that well
No hay gloria mayor que la del amor
There is no greater glory than that of love
