Tomo y ombligo - Carlos Gardel

Tomo y obligo, mándese un trago

Que hoy necesito el recuerdo matar

Sin un amigo, lejos del pago

Quiero en su pecho mi pena volcar

Beba conmigo y si se empaña

De vez en cuando mi voz al cantar

No es que la llore por que me engaña

Yo sé que un hombre no debe llorar

Si los pastos conversaran

Esa pampa le diría

De que modo la quería

Con que fiebre la adoré

Cuantas veces de rodillas

Tembloroso yo me he hincado

Bajo el árbol deshojado

Donde un día la besé

Y hoy al verla envilecida

A otros brazos entregada

Fue «pa» mi una puñalada

Y de celos me cegué

Y le juro todavía

No consigo comprenderme

Cómo pude contenerme

Y ahi nomás no la maté

Tomo y obligo, mándese un trago

De las mujeres mejor no hay que hablar

Todas, amigo, dan muy mal pago

Hoy mi experiencia lo puede afirmar

Siga un consejo, no se enamore

Y si una vuelta le toca hocicar

Fuerza canejo, sufra y no llore

Que un hombre macho no debe llorar

I take and I force, send yourself a drink

That today I need the memory to kill

Without a friend, far from payment

I want my sorrow to pour out on his chest

Drink with me and if she gets foggy

From time to time my voice when singing

It's not that I cry for her because she cheats on me

I know that a man should not cry

If the grasses conversed

That pampa would tell him

how she loved her

With what fever I adored her

How many times on your knees

Trembling I have kneeled

under the leafless tree

Where one day I kissed her

And today seeing her degraded

To other arms delivered

She was "pa" me a stab

And I was blinded by jealousy

And I swear to you still

I can't understand myself

how could i hold back

And there I just didn't kill her

I take and I force, send yourself a drink

It is better not to talk about women

All of them, my friend, pay very poorly

Today my experience can affirm it

Take advice, don't fall in love

And if a lap has to muzzle

Force canejo, suffer and don't cry

That a macho man shouldn't cry
