Paroles et traduction Ignacio Copani - Ángel Rubio

Ángel Rubio

Con tu rostro tan angelical...
Y tu rubio y prolijo cabello,
Quién diría que un chico tan bello
Es capaz de portarse tan mal...
Ni la ley de obediencia debida
Le ha podido dar punto final
Al recuerdo tan triste y brutal,
Que dejaste al segar tantas vidas.
Sos experto en torturar adolescentes
Y al robar aprovechando la ocasión,
Suponés que sos un bravo y un valiente,
Sin embargo para mi sos un ca-
Nalla, reventado y hoy la gente
Te desprecia abiertamente
Por cobarde y por ladrón.
Demostrás tu valor y entereza
Enfrentando cuando es necesario
A enemigos tan sanguinarios
Como un par de monjitas francesas.
Y quizás suponés que te admiro
Por haberte rendido esa vez,
Que lamiste los pies del inglés
Sin haber disparado ni un tiro.
No es casual que tu ilustre apellido
Haga rima con pobre infeliz
Y no entiendo cómo es que existís...
Ojalá nunca hubieras nacido.
Y Piluso, el capitán nunca olvidado,
Al que toda mi generación recuerda
Se avergüenza de tener tu mismo grado,
Porque vos en realidad sos una
Miserable especie de soldado
Que merece ser colgado
Del extremo de una cuerda.

With your angelic face...
And your blond and long hair,
Who would have said that a boy so handsome
Is capable of behaving so badly...
Nor even the law of due obedience
Has been able to give a final point
To the memory so sad and brutal,
Which you left by killing so many lives.
You are an expert on torturing teenagers
And in stealing, taking advantage of the occasion,
You suppose you are fierce and brave,
However, you are a scallywag,
Spent and today the people
Despise you openly
For being a coward and a thief.
You demonstrate your bravery and determination
By confronting when necessary
To enemies as cruel
As a couple of French nuns.
And maybe you suppose I admire you
For having surrendered that time,
That you kissed the feet of the Englishman
Without firing a shot.
It is not by chance that your brilliant surname
Rhymes with poor wretched
And I do not understand how you even exist...
I wish you had never been born.
And Piluso, the never forgotten captain,
Whom all my generation remembers
Is ashamed to have the same rank as you,
Because you are actually a
Wretched species of soldier
Who deserves to be hung
From the end of a rope.
