Текст и перевод песни Carlos Gardel - El Pibe

El Pibe

The Kid

Le formó rueda la muchachada

The crowd gathered around

Al pibe Almada, que iba a cantar

The kid Almada, who was going to sing

Todos buscaron que ninguno lo turbase

Everyone wanted to make sure he wouldn't be disturbed

Y se callaron para que pronto empezase

And they fell silent so that he could begin

Puso en la viola, media gangosa

He placed the bow on his violin, which was slightly hoarse

Su temblorosa mano al tocar

His trembling hand as he strummed

Y cuando vio que era llegado ya el momento

And when he saw that the moment had arrived

Con claro acento, de este modo comenzó

With a clear voice, he began like this

A mí no me vengan

Don't come to me

Con penas de amores

With your love sorrows

Y el que males tenga

And he who has troubles

Que a solas los llore

Let him weep in private

Porque a mí las penas

Because sorrows

No me hacen mella

Don't make me dent

Pues sufrí ya tanto

Because I have suffered so much

Que ni siquiera por ella

That not even for her

Han de verme a mí llorar

You shall see me cry

De la amargura nada me importa

Of bitterness, I care not

La vida es corta y hay que reír

Life is short, and one must laugh

No se acobarde el que sufra sinsabores

Don't be cowardly he who suffers misadventures

Que nunca es tarde pa′ llorar males de amores

That it is never too late to cry over love's ills

Rían, muchachos, a carcajadas

Laugh, boys, with loudlaughter

Y que en la nada quede el pesar

And that in nothingness sorrow may remain

Hay que matar los indecibles desengaños

One must kill the unspeakable disappointments

Pa' que los años nos enseñen a gozar

For the years teach us to enjoy
