Текст и перевод песни Juan D'Arienzo - Amarroto

Amarroto

Te pasaste treinta abriles de una esquina a otra esquina
Sin saber que era una mina, ni una copa, ni un café.
La yugabas como un burro y amurabas meneguina
Practicando infanteria de tu casa hasta el taller.
Futbol, timbas y carreras eran cosas indecentes,
Solo el cine era tu vicio... si podias garronear.
Y una vuelta que asomaste los mirones por Corrientes
Al marearte con las luces te tuvieron que auxiliar.
Hijo de "Quedate quieto" y la zaina "No te muevas",
Nunca, nunca te rascaste ni teniendo sarampion
Flor de chaucha que en la esquina no ligaste ni una breva
Porque andabas como un longhi chamuyandolo al boton.
No tenias ni un amigo, "que el buey solo bien se lame",
Segun tu filosofia de amarroto sin control.
Y amasabas los billetes como quien hace un salame
Laburando de esclavacho, como un gil, de sol a sol.
Hoy te veo engayolado... Te chapo una solterona
Que podria ser tu nona y que es toda tu pasión...
Y seguis amarrocando para que ella, tu monona,
Se las de de grand princesa a costillas del chabon.
En el banco de la vida al final siempre se pierde,
No hay mortaja con bolsillos a la hora de partir.
Vos que no sabes siquiera de un final "bandera verde",
Aclarame, che amarroto... para que queres vivir?

Stingy

You spent thirty springs from corner to corner
Without knowing what a girl, a drink, or a coffee was.
You played it like a donkey and you were rocking the "meneguina"
Practicing infantry from your house to the workshop.
Football, gambling and racing were indecent things,
Only cinema was your vice... if you could get away with it.
And one time when you peeked out of the peepers in Corrientes
You got dizzy with the lights and they had to help you.
Son of "Stay still" and the mare "Don't move",
You never, ever scratched yourself even with measles
Flower of a penny that on the corner you didn't get a single date
Because you were like a "longhi" chatting up the button.
You didn't have a single friend, "the ox licks itself well alone",
According to your philosophy of being a stingy without control.
And you kneaded the bills like someone making a salami
Working like a slave, like a fool, from sunrise to sunset.
Today I see you caged... You're hooked on an old maid
Who could be your grandmother and who is your whole passion...
And you keep skimping so that she, your old lady,
Can play the grand princess at the boy's expense.
In the bank of life you always lose in the end,
There is no shroud with pockets when it's time to go.
You who don't even know about a "green flag" ending,
Explain to me, you stingy one... what do you want to live for?
