Текст и перевод песни Edmundo Rivero - Aquel Tapado de Armiño

Aquel Tapado de Armiño

Aquel tapado de armiño,
Todo forrado en lamé,
Que tu cuerpito abrigaba
Al salir del cabaret.
Cuando pasaste a mi lado,
Prendida a aquel gigoló,
Aquel tapado de armiño
¡cuánta pena me causó!

¿Te acordás?, era el momento
Culminante del cariño;
Me encontraba yo sin vento,
Vos amabas el armiño.
Cuántas veces tiritando,
Los dos junto a la vidriera,
Me decías suspirando:
¡Ay, amor, si vos pudieras!
Y yo con mil sacrificios
Te lo pude al fin comprar,
Mangué a amigos y usureros
Y estuve un mes sin fumar.

Aquel tapado de armiño
Todo forrado en lamé,
Que tu cuerpito abrigaba
Al salir del cabaret.
Me resultó, al fin y al cabo,
Más durable que tu amor:
El tapado lo estoy pagando
Y tu amor ya se apagó.

That Ermine Coat

That ermine coat,
All lined in lamé,
That kept your tiny body warm
When leaving the cabaret.
When you passed by me,
Hooked on that gigolo,
That ermine coat,
Oh, the pain it caused me!

Do you remember? That was the moment
When our love reached its peak;
I was penniless,
And you adored ermine.
How often did we stand there shivering,
Together at the shop window,
As you would whisper longingly:
Oh, darling, if only you could!
And with a thousand sacrifices
I was finally able to buy it for you,
I begged from friends and loan sharks
And went without cigarettes for a month.

That ermine coat
All lined in lamé,
That kept your tiny body warm
When leaving the cabaret.
In the end, it has turned out
To be more durable than your love:
I'm still paying for the coat
And your love has already faded away.
