Текст и перевод песни Carlos Gardel - Patotero Sentimental

Patotero Sentimental

Patotero, rey del bailongo
Patotero sentimental
Escondés bajo tu risa
Muchas ganas de llorar

Ya los años se van pasando
Y en mi pecho, no entra un querer
En mi vida tuve muchas, muchas minas
Pero nunca una mujer

Cuando tengo dos copas de más
En mi pecho comienza a surgir
El recuerdo de aquella fiel mujer
Que me quiso de verdad y que ingrato abandoné

De su amor, me burlé sin mirar
Que pudiera sentirlo después
Sin pensar que los años al correr
Iban crueles a amargar, a este rey del cabaret

Pobrecita, cómo lloraba
Cuando ciego la eche a rodar
La patota me miraba, y
No es de hombre el aflojar

Patotero, rey del bailongo
Siempre de ella te acordarás
Hoy reís, pero en tu risa
Solo hay ganas de llorar

Patotero Sentimental

Patotero, king of the dance
Patotero sentimental,
You hide beneath your laughter
A great desire to cry.

The years are now passing by,
And in my heart there's no love to be found,
In my life I had many, many women,
But never a real one...

When I've had a couple of drinks,
In my heart a memory starts to emerge,
The memory of that faithful woman
Who truly loved me and whom I ungraciously abandoned...

Her love I mocked without a second thought,
For I failed to see that I would feel it later,
Without realizing that as the years went by
They would cruelly come to embitter this king of the cabaret.

Poor little thing, how she cried
When I cast her aside so blindly,
The gang watched me, and...
It's not manly to show weakness.

Patotero, king of the dance
You will always remember her
Today you laugh, but your laughter,
Only hides your desire to cry.
