Primero Yo

Carlos Gardel Carlos Gardel

First Me

You can walk by me like you did last night
full of arrogance, with a flair for the dramatic.
You can walk by me and waste your laughter...
you're playing your part as the perfect diva.

You left my Academy with a taste for culture:
I gave you the best examples of good manners.
But I'm convinced that with your thick skull
I shouldn't have wasted my time giving you so many lessons.

The efforts of your desperate plea have come to pass
and since love is blind
in your womanly essence,
you adored me blindly
and felt so blind
that one afternoon you got lost
and it was never to return.

To me, you haven't changed... You're still the same thing
no matter how much you flirt as you pass by in your Renault.
Your manners reveal a disastrous morality:
you can change your clothes, but not your habits.

We've had different fates:
you went up in a pleasant rise,
I got stuck halfway...
Luck helped you, and I got disinherited!

First me, no matter how much luck
that money brings you...
The page is written
of what our love was...

And even if you keep enjoying
among happy rich folks
on your list of things,
first, first me.
