Текст и перевод песни Francisco Canaro - Cuando Un Viejo Se Enamora (Milonga)

Cuando Un Viejo Se Enamora (Milonga)

Cuando un viejo se enamora, anda el pobre en un resuello
Con betún para el bigote y tinturitas para pelo
Cuando un viejo se enamora, anda todo alborotado
Y pa que ella no se avive y lo tome por un pibe
Hasta duerme encorseta'

De regreso de la cita de una tarde venturosa
A ponerse en la camita, a tomar las pildoritas
Y aplicarse la ventosa
A la brisa no le expongas porque se siente engripado
Y si baila alguna conga, o un foxtrot o una milonga
Queda todo desarmao

Cuando un viejo se enamora, pierde toda su carpeta
Y hay que ver los papelones que hace al ver a su pebeta
Frente a aquella que lo hechiza le palpita el corazón
Y no larga una sonrisa por temor que la postiza
Se le piante del buzón

De regreso de la cita de una tarde venturosa
A ponerse en la camita, a tomar las pildoritas
Y aplicarse la ventosa
A la brisa no te expongas porque se siente engripado
Y si baila alguna conga, o un foxtrot o una milonga
Queda todo desarmao

When An Old Man Falls In Love (Milonga)

When an old man falls in love, the poor fellow's in a flurry,
With shoe polish for his mustache and hair dye in a hurry.
When an old man falls in love, he's all in a commotion,
And so she doesn't catch on and mistake him for a young'un,
He even sleeps in a corset, my dear.

Returning from a date, an afternoon of bliss,
To get into his little bed, to take his little pills,
And apply his cupping glass.
Don't let him out in the breeze, my love, he'll catch a cold, you see,
And if he dances a conga, a foxtrot or a milonga,
He'll fall all apart, completely.

When an old man falls in love, he loses all composure,
And you should see the blunders he makes upon seeing his girl, my treasure.
In front of the one who bewitches him, his heart starts to pound,
And he won't crack a smile, darling, for fear that his false teeth,
Will pop right out of his mouth.

Returning from a date, an afternoon of bliss,
To get into his little bed, to take his little pills,
And apply his cupping glass.
Don't let him out in the breeze, sweetheart, he'll catch a cold, you see,
And if he dances a conga, a foxtrot or a milonga,
He'll fall all apart, completely.
