Текст и перевод песни Jorge Vidal - Metejon de punga

Metejon de punga

Cuando mi vieja y los muchachos se enteraron
Hubo de todo en el viejo conventillo,
Hasta las pilchas domingueras se jugaron
Y hasta hubo entreveros de cuchillos.
Cuando mi vieja me pidió que le batiera
Creyó que era una curda de cariño,
De esas que acusan los pintones calaveras
Del centro al barrio. Como ando yo.

Todo esto me pasa por vos...
Ya lo ves corazón...
Desde esta noche la jotrabo hasta de otario
Y aprovecho mi prontuario
Que aun la "yuta" no marcó:
Todo esto me pasa por vos,
Ya lo ves corazón,
Si hasta largo mi laburo de punguista
Y paso a integrar la lista
De honrado trabajador.

Cuando mi vieja y los muchachos se enteraron
Que a media noche se me encuentra de "apoliyo"
Se chimentaba que me habían embrujado
Y hasta quisieron quemar el conventillo.

Cuando mi vieja me pidió que le batiera
Creyó que era una curda de cariño,
De esas que acusan los pintones calaveras
Del centro al barrio. Como ando yo.

Pero ella que me juna el de la zurda
Y ese dulce metejón me fue sobrando
Se acercó hasta mi catrera lagrimeando
Y como a un pibe me acarició.

A Pickpocket's Blunder

When my old lady and the lads found out
There was everything in the old tenement,
Even the Sunday best clothes were gambled away
And there were even knife fights.
When my old lady asked me to get her a drink
She thought it was an affectionate bender,
One of those accused by the scarecrow dudes
From downtown to the neighborhood. Like I do.

All this is happening to me because of you...
You see, my love...
From this night on, the cops will arrest me even as an idiot
And they'll take advantage of my record
That even the "cops" haven't marked yet:
All this is happening to me because of you,
You see, my love,
I'm even quitting my job as a pickpocket
And I'll move on to the list
Of an honest worker.

When my old lady and the lads found out
That at midnight I was found to be a "bully"
It was gossiped that I had been bewitched
And they even wanted to burn down the tenement.

When my old lady asked me to get her a drink
She thought it was an affectionate bender,
One of those accused by the scarecrow dudes
From downtown to the neighborhood. Like I do.

But she who hooked me from the left
And that sweet crush was too much for me
She came up to my bunk in tears
And caressed me like a kid.
