Lyrics
Ese muchacho Troilo...
Como el fueye que duele como él,
y su gran juventud hecha de arrugas...
Parece un corazón latiendo en las rodillas...

Ese muchacho Troilo...
Para mí que lo hicieron en mi casa
como el pan que la vieja siempre dio,
¡le sobra tanto amor que rompe los bolsillos!

¿Para qué volver a investigar
la bola de cristal, si ya aprendió a vivir?
Y entendió que hay madres que se van,
amigos que no están
y niños que se mueren sin juguetes...

Por eso el gordo Troilo
tiene tantos pecados con razón,
que al lado de Jesús y al lado del ladrón
también ganó su cruz de angustias y de alcohol...
English translation
That Troilo boy...
Like the fueye that hurts like him..,
and his great youth made of wrinkles...
He looks like a heart beating in his knees...

That Troilo boy...
For me he was made in my house
like the bread that the old woman always gave,
he's got so much love that he breaks the pockets!

Why go back to investigate
the crystal ball, if he's already learned to live?
And he understood that there are mothers who leave,
friends who are gone
and children who die without toys...

That's why fat Troilo
has so many sins with reason,
that next to Jesus and next to the thief
he also won his cross of anguish and alcohol...
