A Contramano - Francisco Canaro перевод на английский

A Contramano

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.

Going Against the Grain

Look, my friend, looks like you're going against the grain
Don't speak to that girl, you'll find yourself in pain
Be careful, her old lady's coming from behind
She'll take you for another spin
Don't talk to that girl passing by
Her husband's a Calabrian guy
That rolling pin will change your mind
Like those noodles for you he'll find

Born going against the grain
My friend, it's no refrain
That's why you see
Everything goes wrong for thee

Watch out, watch out for that babe
She might just fall your way
Watch out for that traffic jam
She's hard to handle, come what may
Be careful, don't be in such a rush
You might just end up in a crush
Watch out, don't go against the grain
Or you'll get caught just the same

If you've been going against the grain
And want everything to go so well
I'll give you some brotherly advice, my friend
Everything you do, just do the opposite
If you like a pretty girl, lay low
First win over her mother, take it slow
Since she's a pro and loves you so
Just hook up with the old lady, let it flow

Born going against the grain
My friend, it's no refrain
That's why you see
Everything goes wrong for thee
