Mañana es ya y sin achiques
Tomorrow is already and without shrinkage
El pibe marcha pedaleando a laburar
The kid pedals to work
Desayunó mate de origen
Had mate of origin breakfast
Masticó algo, prendió un faso y se alejó
He chewed something, lit a faso, and walked away.
A ganarse un hueso como changarín
To earn a bone like changarín
De un trompa extranjero que compra el país
From a foreign trunk buying the country
Y lo derrite después
And he melts it afterwards.
Haciendo al pibe que estibe
Making the kid to stretch
Lo vi volver tarde y deshecho
I saw him come back late and undone
De su batalla cotidiana hecha hoy canción
From his daily battle made today song
Sonrió al entrar, tomó alimento
He smiled as he walked in, took food.
Dejó en la mesa lo ganado y se acostó
He left on the table what he had earned and lay down
Rezó a Dios pidiendo antes de dormir
He prayed to God asking before going to sleep
Por ser contratado, obteniendo así
For being hired, thus obtaining
Los beneficios de ser un efectivo por ley
The benefits of being an effective by law
Mañana es ya, despierta el pibe
Tomorrow is already, wake up the kid
Y esperanzado nuevamente va otra vez
And hopeful again goes again
Duro al pedal, pitando un firme
Hard to the pedal, beeping a firm
De obra social sus sueños son hasta que ve
Of social work his dreams are until he sees
Acreeditadores agitándose
Creditors agitating
El galpón vacío, la yuta y el juez
The empty shed, the juta and the judge
Y a quienes dicen que él
And to those who say he
Cargó el derrite ayer
Charged the melt yesterday
Un oficial se lleva al pibe
An officer takes the kid
Como implicado en el embrollo que estalló
As if implicated in the imbroglio that erupted
Y en su natal país de origen
And in his native country of origin
El trompa gringo aterrizá con el montón
The gringo trunk lands with the pile
'¡Dale, cantá pibe!'
'Dale, cantá pibe!'
Dice el golpeador
Says the beater
¿Dónde está el derrite?
Where is the melt?
¿Quién se lo llevó?
Who took him?
Una vez libre volvió
Once free he returned
Sin ser el mismo. Ya no
Without being the same. Not anymore
Le dieron sin asco hasta que cayó
They gave him no disgust until he fell.
Para ser pateado, hasta que murió
To be kicked, until he died
El Pibe Tigre, aquel
El Pibe Tigre, that one
Del barrio Carlos Gardel
From the Carlos Gardel neighborhood
Fué a cajón cerrado que se lo veló
It was a closed drawer that was veiled
Pues fue desmembrado como donador
For he was dismembered as a donor.
El Pibe Tigre, aquel

Del barrio Carlos Gardel

¿Por qué será que aún es

Esto posible de ser?
