As de Cartón - Remastered

Contando sus proezas en un boliche
Un guapo que de grupo se hizo cartel,
A giles engrupía pa' chupar de ojo
Con famosas hazañas que no eran de él.
Conocedor de frases y de modales
De la jerga fulera del arrabal
Les contaba combates fenomenales
En que siempre jugaba rol principal.
Pero cayó una noche un veterano
Cuando éste hacía los cuentos de folletín
Y arrancó la careta al falso guapo
Dejándole la propia de malandrín.
"Vos cebabas el mate en una timba
Que en la cueva tenía don Melitón
Y fuiste mandadero e' los cafiolos
Y venís áhura a contarla de gran matón".
"Te llamaban el ganso, porque de otario
Tenías bien ganada tu credencial
Y tu chanza mejor fue aquel prontuario
Por ladrón de gallinas en un corral".
Y a rematar la suerte cayó al boliche
La mujer del famoso as de cartón
Y diciéndole "fiera, rajá pa' adentro,
¡barreme bien la pieza! Cuidá el buyón."
(Hablado)
Y el que contaba sus hazañas entre infelices
De reñidas peleas que dominó
Murmurando entre dientes refunfunea:
"Ya no habemos más guapos, viejo...
(¡qué le vas a hacer!)
¡Todo acabó!

As de Cartón - Remastered

Counting your bravery in a bowling alley
A handsome man who became a group's poster boy,
You'd fool suckers to get drinks on the house
With famous feats that weren't yours.
Well-versed in phrases and ways
Of the shady slang of the suburbs
You'd tell them of phenomenal fights
In which you always played the leading role.
But one night a veteran came
While you were spinning your tall tales
And tore off the mask of the fake tough guy
Leaving you with your own hoodlum face.
"You used to serve the mate in a gambling den
That Don Melitón had in the cave
And you were an errand boy for the pimps
And now you've come here to tell it like a great thug."
"They called you the Goose, because as an idiot
You had well earned your credentials
And your best joke was that record
For stealing chickens in a coop."
And to top it off, the wife of the famous
Ace of cardboard came to the bowling alley
And told you, "Get in there, beast,
Sweep the room! Watch the soup."
(Spoken)
And the one who told his feats among the miserable
Of fierce fights he'd won
Mumbled through his teeth:
"There are no more tough guys, old man...
(what can you do!)
It's all over!
