Lyrics
Una nube en los ojos
me vino como un flechazo,
y en mi rencor, amigazo,
entero yo me jugué.
Quiso el maula reírse
manchando mi frente honrada
y por tan mala jugada
sin compasión lo achuré.

¡Amigazo! fue una noche,
que en mi mente llevo escrita...
una tierna vidalita
a la hereje despertó.
Yo, que en el secreto estaba,
puse fin a mi venganza
cuando vi al cantor aquel,
que a los labios de la infiel
como abrojo se prendió.

¡Los celos sentí!...
¡Tantié mi facón!...
y luego,... a lo gaucho,
le abrí el corazón...

Y, desde entonces...
mi alma va errabunda
atada a la conyunda
de aquel doliente amor.
¡Chupemos juntos!...
quiero olvidar, sonriendo,
el hoyo que está abriendo
la chuza del dolor.
English translation
A cloud in my eyes
came to me like a crush,
and in my rancor, my friend,
the whole of me was at stake.
The maula wanted to laugh
staining my honest forehead
and for such a bad move
without compassion, I shaved him.

My friend! it was a night..,
that in my mind I carry written...
a tender vidalita
woke up the heretic.
I, who was in the secret,
I put an end to my revenge
when I saw that singer
that to the lips of the unfaithful one
like a thorn, he took hold.

I felt jealousy!...
I held out my facon!...
and then,... gaucho style..,
I opened my heart...

And since then...
my soul has been wandering
tied to the conjecture
of that aching love.
Let's suck together!...
I want to forget, smiling,
the hole that is opening
the chuza of pain.
