Theme: I don’t understand neither a damm !un carajo¡ of this.
If although the poncho of the forgetfulness
on my loin you have left (dejao).
The memories of the past
they should have you followed
and I eat fastened thistle
acolado and chewed.
To open up in your heart
always giving you a jab;
while to me you does not allow in passing,
maybe, your imagination.
The time that had us
Bundle (acuellarado ) at both;
you (vos) were able to cut it
so much pulling it (tironiarlo) one day;
that damm (!the pucha), the happiness
the sun you ended up stopping.
That you were you (fuistes (sic)) to enjoy
and you (vos) that want (querés) that made
so old that field out
with the misfortune at par.
You left me shivering
of an alone push (arrempujón),
! as the moroa rooster
without feathers and singing (cacariando)
But before brazeando
with the bad thing that you have thrown (echao),
it is a tree leafless (deshojao)
with the time very gacé
that it grows green again
and be of fruits you load you.
Anything has duration
in this mean world;
and in uneven road
anyone gives a stumble.
That you have given me a lesson
that I should take advantage of it;
that it gives sign or final
as well as I have learned it (e’aprendido),
with the poncho of the forgetfulness
I also want to cover you.
