Carta a doña Tomasa
Alfredo Zitarrosa
Letter to Mrs. Tomasa
Don't come to see me today, Mrs. Tomasa
'Cause if you come, I won't be here
But if you came to see me yesterday
I want to talk to you
I heard that the kid went to visit you
Because of your illness
But since you weren't there, he spoke
With little Margot
He came back home very late and told me
That he couldn't talk to you
But Margot already explained to him
That you were at the doctor
What's wrong with you, Mrs. Tomasa; yesterday
I would have liked to see you
But I sent the kid because I
I'm getting worse every time
With the lumbago, I can't move
You'll understand
But the kid said he would go
And it seemed fine to me
I know you don't like the kid and I
I totally agree
But the kid says that Margot
Gets mad when I go
You already know how kids are
I don't know if Margot
Who is already so grown up, won't turn out
Similar to her mom
Don't come to see me today, Mrs. Tomasa
'Cause if you come, I won't be here
But if you came to see me yesterday
I want to talk to you.
