Translation

Me gusta lo desparejo

I like uneven things

Y no voy por la vereda;

And I don't walk on the sidewalk;

Uso fungi a lo Massera,

I wear a fungi like Massera,

Calzo bota militar.

I wear military boots.


La quise porque la quise

I loved her just because I loved her

Y por eso ando penando;

And that's why I'm wandering in sorrow;

Se me fue ya ni se cuando,

She left, I don't even know when,

Ni se cuando volvera.

I don't know when she'll come back.


Me la nombran las guitarras

Guitars mention her to me

Cuando dicen su cancin,

When they sing their song,

Las callecitas del barrio

The little streets of the neighborhood

Y el filo de mi facon.

And the edge of my facon.


Me la nombran las estrellas

The stars mention her to me

Y el viento del arrabal;

And the wind of the suburb;

No se pa' que me la nombran

I don't know why they mention her to me

Si no la puedo olvidar.

If I can't forget her.


Soy desconfiao en amores,

I'm suspicious in love,

Y soy confiao en el juego;

And I'm trusting in the game;

Donde me invitan me quedo

Where they invite me, I stay

Y donde sobro tambin.

And where I'm not needed, too.


Soy del partido de todos

I'm from the party of everyone

Y con todos me la entiendo

And I get along with everyone

Pero vayanlo sabiendo:

But know this:

Soy hombre de Leandro Alem.

I'm a man of Leandro Alem.


No me gusta el empedrao

I don't like paved streets

Ni me doy con lo moderno;

And I don't go for modern things;

Descanso cuando ando enfermo,

I rest when I'm sick,

Y dispues que me he sanao.

And after I've healed.


La quiero porque la quiero

I love her just because I love her

Y por eso la perdono;

And that's why I forgive her;

No hay cosa peor que un encono Para vivir amargao...

There's nothing worse than a grudge
