Lyrics
Me largaste sin decirme hasta la vista
como un cobarde desgraciao sin corazón.
Una noche fuiste a ver una revista
y no volviste al terminarse la función.
Me han contao que te engrupió una bataclana
con las ojeras muy pintadas de azulao,
flaca y lunga, un uestidito de bananas
y una tirita sujetando el estofao...

¡Y me has cambiao,
gran desgraciao,
por ese escuálido loro!
Te has agenciao
un bacalao
con un perfil de llobaca...
Ya te has armao...
Tené cuidao
y escabullí tu tesoro,
¡que es tan fiera, huesuda y fulera,
la ve la perrera y... adiós!

Según dicen las personas de buen gusto
ese esperpento que tu amor me ha disputao
es un bagre que a cualquiera le da un susto
si te lo cacha por la noche descuidao.
Y aseguran los que han visto a tu adorada
meterle al diente cuando está en el Tropezón
que es mejor que convidarla a una morfada
comprarle un traje y un tapado de visón.
English translation
You sent me away without telling me to see you
like a cowardly heartless wretch.
One night you went to see a revue
and you didn't come back at the end of the show.
I've been told that a bataclana with blue circles under her eyes
with dark circles under her eyes painted blue,
skinny and long, a little banana outfit
and a band-aid holding the stew...

And you have changed me,
you big wretch,
for that scrawny parrot!
You've got yourself
a codfish
with a profile of a lobaca...
You have already armed yourself...
Be careful
and sneak your treasure,
she's so fierce, bony and fulera..,
the kennel sees her and... bye-bye!

According to what people of good taste say
that sperpento that your love has disputed with me
is a catfish that will give anyone a scare
if he catches you carelessly at night.
And those who've seen your adored one say
to put her teeth into it when she's at the Tropezón
that it's better than inviting her to a morfada
to buy her a suit and a mink coat.
