¡Yo la vi que se venía en falsa escuadra
I saw it coming in a false squad!
Se ladeaba, se ladeaba, por el borde del fangal!
It was tilted, tilted, by the edge of the mud!
¡Pobre mina que nació en un conventillo
Poor mine that was born in a tenement
Con los pisos de ladrillo, el aljibe y el parral!
With the brick floors, the cistern and the grapevine!
Alguien tiró la banana
Someone threw the banana
Que ella pisó sin querer
That she stepped on unintentionally
Y justito cuando vi que se venía
And just when I saw that it was coming
Ya decúbito dorsal, me la agarré
Already dorsal decubitus , I grabbed it
Fui un gil
I was a gil
Porque creí que allí inventé el honor
Because I thought I invented honor there.
Un gil
A gil
Que alzó un tomate y lo creyó una flor
Who raised a tomato and believed it a flower
Y sigo gil
And I'm still gil
Cuando presumo que salvé el amor
When I presume I saved love
Ya que ella fue
Since she was
Quien a trompadas me rompió las penas
Who stumbled broke my sorrows
Ya ven
You see.
Volví a la mugre de vivir tirao
I returned to the filth of living tirao
¡Caray!
Hell!
Si al menos me engrupiera de que la he salvao
If only I would be glad that I have saved her
Eso dijo el cusifai mientras la cosa
That's what the cusifai said while the thing
Retozaba, retozaba ya perdida en el fangal
She frolicked, frolicked already lost in the mud
Y él chupaba una ginebra desastrosa
And he sucked on a disastrous gin.
Entre curdas y malandras en la mesa de aquel bar
Between curdas and malandras at the table of that bar
Si alguien tiró la banana
If someone threw the banana
El, que era un gil, la empujó
He, who was a gil, pushed her
Y justito cuando vio que se venía
And just when he saw what was coming
Ya decúbito dorsal, se le prendió
Already decubitus dorsal, he was turned on
Fui un gil
I was a gil
