Pato

Yesterday I saw you pass by
With airs of a big shot
In a fancy car
I greeted you and you acted dumb
As if you didn't know me
You had on your fancy hat
More dust than a highway
And I got so mad
That I wanted to yell at you like this

Duck, you were a duck all along
Duck, even if you try to fool around
Dry, now you have an apartment
And they pay you a lot of wind to show off at the Pigall
Duck, scoundrel, unlucky, who styles your hair with pomade
Duck, today you're a tango dancer and a big shot
When the girl catches on to you
You'll pass by our corner to beg for money

Of what you were yesterday, nothing remains
Kid from my neighborhood
Who saw you like I did
You must be a poor fool
Remember that the life of any big shot
Has more twists and turns than an ear, and that, if one day
Luck doesn't go to the suburbs, you'll come back

Duck, you were a duck all along
Duck, even if you try to fool around
Dry, now you have an apartment
And they pay you a lot of wind to show off at the Pigall
Duck, scoundrel, unlucky, who styles your hair with pomade
Duck, today you're a tango dancer and a big shot
When the girl catches on to you
You'll pass by our corner to beg for money
