Текст и перевод песни Carlos Gardel - A Contramano (Remastered)

A Contramano (Remastered)

Mire amigo que va a contramano,
No le hable a esa chica que se va a perder.
Con cuidado que atrás va la vieja
Y de vuelta y media me lo va a poner.
No le hable a esa otra que pasa,
Que tiene un marido que es calabrés.
Y el garrote de los tallarines
Sobre sus espaldas lo va a hacer caer.
Salió a contramano
Mi amigo, al nacer.
Por eso que todo
Le sale al revés.
Cuidao, cuidao con esa piba
Que se puede "refalar".
Cuidao con esa atropellada
Que está dura de pelar.
Cuidao, no vaya tan ligero,
Porque puede tropezar.
Cuidao no vaya a contramano,
Porque lo van a cachar.
Si en la vida cayó a contramano
Y quiere que todo le salga muy bien,
Yo le doy un consejo de hermano,
Que todo lo que haga, lo haga al revés.
Si le agrada una chica muy linda,
Engrupa a la vieja primero y, después,
Como ella es canchera y le gusta,
Con la misma vieja, hay nomás, préndase.
Salió a contramano
Mi amigo, al nacer.
Por eso que todo
Le sale al revés.

A Contramano (Remastered)

My dear, you're going against the grain,
Don't court that girl, or you'll endure great pain.
Beware, her mother's right behind,
And she won't hesitate to have her say.
Don't approach that other one, I say,
Her husband's from Calabria, so beware.
His noodle-rolling pin will surely fall,
Upon your back, and make your life a ball.
You were born going against the grain,
My friend, that's why
You'll never win,
Your life's a grind.
Watch out, watch out for that girl,
She's slippery and sly.
Be careful with that reckless one,
She's tough as pie.
Slow down, don't rush so fast,
Or you'll surely fall.
Beware of going against the grain,
Or you'll get caught and scorned.
If you were born going against the grain,
And want your life to turn around,
I'll give you some brotherly advice,
Do everything in reverse, and you'll be sound.
If a pretty girl catches your eye,
Befriend her mother first, my boy.
Since she's experienced and likes to play,
She'll be your guide, and lead the way.
You were born going against the grain,
My friend, that's why
You'll never win,
Your life's a grind.
