Dicen Que Dicen

Vení, acercáte, no tengas miedo,

Come, get closer, don't be afraid,

Que tengo el puño, ya ves, anclao.

For I have my fist, you see, anchored.

Yo sólo quiero contarte un cuento

I just want to tell you a story

De unos amores que he balconeao.

About loves I've paraded.

Dicen que dicen, que era una mina

They say, they say, she was a girl

Todo ternura, como eras vos,

All tenderness, like you were,

Que jué el orgullo de un mozo taura

Who was the pride of a tough guy

De fondo bueno... Como era yo.

With a good background... Like I was.

Y bate el cuento

And the story goes

Que en un cotorro

That in a joint

Que era una gloria vivían los dos.

They lived in glory.

Y dice el barrio que él la quería

And the neighborhood says he loved her

Con la fe misma

With the same faith

Que puse en vos.

That I put in you.

Pero una noche

But one night

Que pa' un laburo

For a job

El taura manso

The tame guy

Se había ausentao,

Had been absent,

Prendida de otros

Clung to other

Amores perros

Dog loves,

La mina aquella

That girl

Se le había alzao.

Had left him.

Dicen que dicen, que desde entonces

They say, they say, that since then

Ardiendo de odio su corazón,

Burning with hatred his heart,

El taura manso buscó a la paica

The tame guy sought the wretch

Por cielo y tierra como hice yo.

Far and wide, like I do now.

Y cuando quiso, justo el destino,

And when he wanted, just fate,

Que la encontrara, como ahura a vos,

To find her, like now with you,

Trenzó sus manos en el cogote

He clasped his hands around the neck

De aquella perra... Como hago yo...

Of that bitch... Like I do...

Deje vecino... No llame a nadie.

Leave, neighbor... Don't call anyone.

No tenga miedo, estoy desarmao.

Don't be afraid, I'm unarmed.

Yo sólo quise contarle un cuento,

I just wanted to tell you a story,

Pero el encono me ha traicionao...

But bitterness has betrayed me...

Dicen que dicen, vecino, que era

They say, they say, neighbor, that she was

Todo ternura la que murió...

All tenderness, the one who died...

Que jué el orgullo de un mozo taura

Who was the pride of a tough guy

De fondo bueno... Como era yo...

With a good background... Like I was...
