Cuando Tú No Estás Lyrics in English Carlos Gardel

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuando Tú No Estás by Carlos Gardel from Spanish to English.
Te conquistaron con plata
They conquered you with money
Y rajaste para adentro
and you cut inside
Las luces malas del centro
The bad lights of the center
Te hicieron meter la pata
They made you screw up
Nada te importó che ingrata
Nothing mattered to you, I was ungrateful
Echaste todo a rodar
You got everything rolling
Pues tu afán de figurar
Well, your desire to appear
Enfermó tu alma de olvido
Your soul became sick with oblivion
Y aura hasta tenés marido
And aura you even have a husband
Las cosas que hay que aguantar
The things you have to put up with
M'hijita me causa gracia
My little daughter makes me laugh
Tu nuevo estado civil
Your new marital status
Porque has engrupido a un gil
Because you have grouped a fool
Que creyó en tu aristocracia
Who believed in your aristocracy
Vos sos la ñata Pancracia
You are the ñata Pancracia
Hija del tano Gerarto
Daughter of Tano Gerarto
Un goruta flaco y alto
A skinny and tall goruta
Que trabajaba en la Boca
Who worked in La Boca
No te acordás, gringa loca
You don't remember, crazy gringa
Cuando piantaste al asfalto
When you hit the asphalt
Y ahora tenés vuaturé
And now you have vuature
Usás tapao petigris y
You use petgris tapao and
Tenés un infeliz
You have an unhappy
Que la chamuya en francés
That chamuya in French
Que hacés, tres veces que hacés
What are you doing, three times what are you doing?
Señora Clisolda Valle
Mrs. Clisolda Valle
Si cuando lucis tu talle
Yes when you wear your size
Con ese coso del brazo
With that arm thing
No te rompo de un tortazo
I won't break you with a smack
Por no pegarte en la calle

Señora, pero hay que ver
Lady, but we have to see
Tu berretín de matrona

Si te acordás de Ramona

Abonale el alquiler

No te hagás la rata cruel
Don't act like a cruel rat
Desparramando la guita
Spreading the twine
Baja el copete m'hijita

Con tu vida bacanada
With your cool life
Pero si sos más manyada
But if you are more numerous
Qu'el tango La Cumparsita
What the tango La Cumparsita
