Aquel Tapado de Armino - Carlos Gardel

Aquel tapado de armiño,

todo forrado en lamé,

que tu cuerpito abrigaba

al salir del cabaret.

Cuando pasaste a mi lado,

prendida a aquel gigoló,

aquel tapado de armiño

¡cuánta pena me causó!

¿Te acordás?, era el momento

culminante del cariño;

me encontraba yo sin vento,

vos amabas el armiño.

Cuántas veces tiritando,

los dos junto a la vidriera,

me decías suspirando:

¡Ay, amor, si vos pudieras!

Y yo con mil sacrificios

te lo pude al fin comprar,

mangué a amigos y usureros

y estuve un mes sin fumar.

Aquel tapado de armiño

todo forrado en lamé,

que tu cuerpito abrigaba

al salir del cabaret.

Me resultó, al fin y al cabo,

más durable que tu amor:

el tapado lo estoy pagando

y tu amor ya se apagó.

That one covered in ermine,

all lined in lamé,

that your little body sheltered

when leaving the cabaret.

When you passed me

hooked on that gigolo,

that one covered in ermine

how sorry it caused me!

Do you remember? It was the moment

climax of affection;

I found myself without wind,

you loved the ermine.

How many times shivering

the two next to the window,

you told me sighing:

Oh love, if you could!

And I with a thousand sacrifices

I was finally able to buy it from you,

I pissed off friends and usurers

and I was a month without smoking.

That one covered in ermine

all lined in lamé,

that your little body sheltered

when leaving the cabaret.

It turned out, after all,

more durable than your love:

I am paying for the covered

and your love has already faded.
