Strong Wind

For your fame, for your figure
You are the notorious tough guy of the underworld,
You are the toughest among all tough guys,
You are the same strong wind

Who can match you for your rank
In the broken alleys of tango
In the conquest of hearts
If the occasion arises

Among the underworld
Strong wind they call you
Strong wind for your courage,
For your feats everyone applauds you
And despite everything
Strong wind left Pompeya.

And he went after the star
That his destiny marked for him
Many years have passed
And his bravery and his antics.

He left them in the cafes
As a punishment from God,
Alone and sad, almost sick
With his defeats gnawing at his soul
The tough guy returned seeking his fame
That another already conquered.

You are no longer the same
Strong wind of those times
You are cardboard for the friend
And for the thug a poor Christ
And upon hearing a tango
Big shot and stubborn
You remember that past
The handsome glories of the strong wind
