PERO YO SÉ
(1928)
Llegando la noche, recién te levantas
Y sales, ufano, a buscar un beguén,
Lucís con orgullo tu estampa elegante
Sentado, muy muelle, en tu regia baqué.
Paseás por Corrientes, paseás por Florida
Te das una vida mejor que un pachá,
De regios programas tenés a montones
Con clase y dinero de todo tendrás.
Pero yo sé que, metido
Vivís penando un querer,
Que querés hallar olvido
Cambiando tanta mujer...
Yo sé que en las madrugadas
Cuando la farra dejás,
Sentís tu pecho oprimido
Por un recuerdo querido
Y te ponés a llorar...
Con tanta aventura, con toda tu andanza
Llevaste tu vida tan sólo al placer,
Con todo el dinero que siempre has tenido
Todos tus caprichos lograste vencer...
Pensar que ese brillo que fácil ostentas
No sabe la gente que es puro disfraz,
Tu orgullo de necio muy bien los engaña
No quieres que nadie lo sepa jamás...
BUT I KNOW
(1928)
You arrive at night, just having woken up
And go out, proudly, looking for an easy flirtation,
Flaunting proudly your elegant appearance
Sitting, very comfortably, in your Baqué regia*.
Walking along Corrientes*, walking along Florida*
You give yourself a better life than a pasha,
You have social events galore
Classy and where everyone has money.
But I know that you’re stuck
You live grieving for a love,
That you want to forget
Changing so many women ...
I know that in the early morning
When you finish your spree,
Your feel your heart tighten
For a cherished memory
And then you the mourning starts anew ...
With so much adventure, with all your wanderings
Your life’s only pleasure was taken.
With all the money you’ve ever had
You managed to satisfy your every whim ...
To think that that façade you so easily put on
People don’t realise that it’s pure disguise,
Your foolish pride manages to deceive them
You don’t want anyone to ever know ..
*a type of smart and classy car
*Corrientes, Florida – main streets in downtown Buenos Aires
