Текст и перевод песни Carlos Gardel - Primero yo

Primero yo

Podés pasar por mi lado como pasastes anoche
Inflada de despotismo, con lirismo de cartel
Podés pasar por mi lado y hacer de risas derroché
Como perfecta guaranga estás en tu gran papel

Saliste de mi academia con nociones de cultura
Yo te di los mejorcitos ejemplos de educación
Pero ya estoy convencido que por tu cabeza dura
No debí perder el tiempo en darte tanta lección

Se cumplieron los afanes
De tu suplicado ruego
Y como el amor es ciego
En tu fibra de mujer

Me adoraste ciegamente
Y tan ciega te sentiste
Que una tarde te perdiste
Y fue para no volver

Para mí no has pelechado, sos siempre la misma cosa
Por mucho que galantees al pasar en tu Renault
Transparentan tus modales una moral desastrosa
Podrás cambiarte de aperos, pero de costumbres no

Nosotros hemos tenido un diferente destino
Vos te fuiste para arriba en placentera ascensión
Yo me quedé empantanado en la mitad del camino
A vos te ayudó la suerte y a mí, me desheredó

Primero yo, por más suerte
Que te acamale la guita
Está la página escrita
De lo que fue nuestro amor

Y aunque la sigas gozando
Entre bacanes dichosos
En la lista de tus cosos
Primero, primero yo

Primero yo

You can pass me by, like you did last night,
Inflated with self-importance, with the lyricism of a fortune cookie,
You can pass me by and throw your laughter away,
Playing the role of a perfect streetwalker so well.

You left my academy with a smattering of culture,
I gave you the best examples of education,
But I'm convinced now that, with your thick head,
I shouldn't have wasted my time giving you so much knowledge.

Your ambitions have been fulfilled,
Your begging wish has been granted,
And as love is blind,
In your feminine core,

You adored me blindly,
And you were so blinded by it,
That one afternoon you lost your way,
And it was for good.

You have not shed your skin for me, you're still the same,
No matter how much you flirt as you pass by in your Renault,
Your manners speak of a disastrous lack of morals,
You may change your clothes, but your habits will never change.

We've had different destinies,
You've climbed high, in a pleasurable ascent,
I got stuck halfway down the road,
You've had fortune on your side, and I've been disinherited.

I was there first, with more luck,
Even if you have piles of cash,
The page has been written,
Of what our love was.

And even if you continue to enjoy it,
Among happy wealthy people,
In the list of your things,
I was first, I was first.
