Mano A Mano

Crazy in my sadness, today I evoke you and see that you have been
In my poor life I had only one good woman
Your cool presence put heat in my nest
You were good, consistent, and I know that you loved me
As you did not love anyone, as you cannot love

The game of remanye occurred when you, poor mishap
You played poverty in the boarding house
Today you are a great person, life laughs and sings at you
You throw the morlacos from the otario to the dealer
How the cat plays with the miserable mouse

Today your mate is full of unhappy illusions
The otarios, the friends, the gabion grouped you together
The milonga between magnates with its crazy temptations
Where milongueras triumph and give up their pretensions
It has entered deep into your poor heart

I have nothing to thank you for, hand in hand we have remained
I don't care what you have done, what you do or what you will do
I believe I have repaid the favors received.
And if some small debt had inadvertently been forgotten
You charge it to the account of the other person you have.

Meanwhile, may your triumphs, poor fleeting triumphs
Be a long line of riches and pleasure
May the coolness that accompanies you have lasting weights
That you open up at the stops with cafishios milongueros
And let the boys say: She is a good woman

And tomorrow when you take down the old furniture
And don't have hope in the poor heart
If you need help, if you need advice
Remember this friend who has to risk his neck
I'll help you in any way I can when the opportunity comes.
