Текст и перевод песни Azucena Maizani - No salgas de tu barrio (Remastered)

No salgas de tu barrio (Remastered)

No abandones tu costura,
Muchachita arrabalera,
A la luz de la modesta
Lamparita a kerosene...
No la dejés a tu vieja
Ni a tu calle, ni al convento,
Ni al muchacho sencillote
Que suplica tu querer.
Desecha los berretines
Y los novios milongueros
Que entre rezongos del fuelle
¡te trabajan de chiqué!

No salgas de tu barrio, sé buena muchachita
Casate con un hombre que sea como vos
Y aún en la miseria sabrás vencer tu pena
Y ya llegará un día en que te ayude Dios.

Como vos, yo, muchachita
Era linda y era buena,
Era humilde y trabajaba
Como vos en un taller;
Dejé al novio que me amaba
Con respeto y con ternura,
Por un niño engominado
Que me trajo al cabaret;
Me enseñó todos sus vicios
Pisoteó mis ilusiones
Hizo de mí este despojo,
Muchachita, ¡que aquí ves!

Don't Leave Your Neighborhood (Remastered)

Don't give up your sewing,
Young lady of the slums,
In the light of the modest
Kerosene lamp...
Don't leave her to your old lady
Nor to your street, nor to the convent,
Nor to the simple boy
Who begs for your love.
Get rid of the berets
And the milonguero boyfriends
That among the bellows' murmurs
They work you from chiqué!

Don't leave your neighborhood, be a good girl
Marry a man who is like you
And even in poverty you will know how to overcome your pain
And a day will come when God will help you.

Like you, I, young girl
Was beautiful and good,
Was humble and worked
Like you in a workshop;
I left the boyfriend who loved me
With respect and tenderness,
For a slick-haired boy
Who brought me to the cabaret;
He taught me all his vices
He trampled on my illusions
He made me this wreck,
Young girl, that you see here!
