These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Cuando la suerte qu'es grela
When luck qu'es grela
Fayando y fayando
Fayando and Fayando
Te largue para'o
Te largue para'o
Cuando estés bien en la vía
When you're well on the road
Sin rumbo, desespera'o
Aimless, despairing
Cuando no tengas ni fe
When you don't have faith
Ni yerba de ayer
Nor yesterday's grass
Secándose al sol
Drying in the sun
Cuando rajés los tamangos
When you crack the tamangos
Buscando este mango
Looking for this handle
Que te haga morfar
That makes you morfar
La indiferencia del mundo
The indifference of the world
Que es sordo y es mudo
Who is deaf and mute
Recién sentirás
You will just feel
Verás que todo es mentira
You will see that everything is a lie
Verás que nada es amor
You will see that nothing is love
Que al mundo nada le importa
That the world cares nothing
Aunque te quiebre la vida
Even if it breaks your life
Aunque te muerda un dolor
Even if you are bitten by a pain
No esperes nunca una ayuda
Never expect help
Ni una mano, ni un favor
Not a hand, not a favor
Cuando estén secas las pilas
When the batteries are dry
De todos los timbres
Of all the bells
Que vos apretás
That you squeeze
Buscando un pecho fraterno
Looking for a fraternal breast
Para morir abraza'o
To die embrace'o
Cuando te dejen tirao
When they leave you tirao
Después de cinchar
After cinching
Lo mismo que a mí
The same as me
Cuando manyés que a tu lado
When you can by your side
Se prueban la ropa
Clothes are tried on
Que vas a dejar
What are you going to leave
Te acordarás de este otario
You will remember this otario
Que un día, cansado
That one day, tired
Se puso a ladrar
He started barking
Did you know?
