Las Cuarenta

Andrés Cepeda

Original text

Las cuarenta

Tango 1937

Música: Roberto Grela

Letra: Francisco Gorrindo

Con el pucho de la vida apretado entre los labios

La mirada turbia y fría, un poco lerdo el andar

Dobló la esquina del barrio y, curda ya de recuerdos

Como volcando un veneno esto se le oyó acusar

Vieja calle de mi barrio donde he dado el primor paso

Vuelvo a vos, gastado el mazo en inútil barajar

Con una llaga en el pecho, con mi sueño hecho pedazos

Que se rompió en un abrazo que me diera la verdad

Aprendí todo lo malo, aprendí todo lo bueno

Sé del beso que se compra, sé del beso que se da;

Del amigo que es amigo siempre y cuando le convenga

Y sé que con mucha plata uno vale mucho más

Aprendí que en esta vida hay que llorar si otros lloran

Y, si la murga se ríe, hay que saberse reír;

No pensar ni equivocado… ¡Para qué, si igual se vive!

¡Y además corrés el riesgo de que te bauticen gil!

La vez que quise ser bueno en la cara se me rieron;

Cuando grité una injusticia, la fuerza me hizo callar;

La experiencia fue mi amante;

el desengaño, mi amigo…

Toda carta tiene contra y toda contra se da!

Hoy no creo ni en mí mismo.. Todo es grupo, todo es falso

Y aquél, el que está más alto, es igual a los demás…

Por eso, no has de extrañarte si, alguna noche, borracho

Me vieras pasar del brazo con quien no debo pasar

the forty

Tango 1937

Music: Roberto Grela

Lyrics: Francisco Gorrindo

With the fist of life pressed between the lips

The cloudy and cold look, a little slow to walk

He turned the corner of the neighborhood and, already full of memories

Like pouring out a poison this was heard to accuse

Old street in my neighborhood where I took the first step

I return to you, spent the deck in useless shuffling

With a sore on my chest, with my dream in pieces

That she broke into a hug to give me the truth

I learned all the bad, I learned all the good

I know about the kiss that is bought, I know about the kiss that is given;

Of the friend who is a friend as long as it suits him

And I know that with a lot of money one is worth much more

I learned that in this life you have to cry if others cry

And, if the murga laughs, you have to know how to laugh;

Do not think even wrong... Why, if you live the same!

And besides, you run the risk of being baptized as a gil!

The time I wanted to be good to the face they laughed at me;

When I shouted an injustice, force silenced me;

The experience was my lover;

disappointment, my friend...

Every card has against and every against is given!

Today I don't even believe in myself. Everything is a group, everything is false

And that one, the one that is higher, is equal to the others...

Therefore, you should not be surprised if, some night, drunk

You saw me walk arm in arm with who I shouldn't walk
