Si Se Salva El Pibe
Carlos Gardel
If the Kid Gets Saved
If the kid gets saved, if the kid gets saved,
You'll see the party we're gonna have;
If God doesn't allow the kid to go,
It'll be a national celebration in the neighborhood.
We'll bring the kids from all around
And so, on a sunny afternoon,
We'll fill the whole house with decorations
And together we'll thank God...
You don't have to let him go out with the boys,
There's plenty of room at home to play;
You see what happened: the good little boy
Fell under the claws of fate.
I know you're not to blame for this,
Don't think it's a reproach but resignation;
If the kid is saved, saving the doll,
You'll see how this, old lady, serves as a lesson.
My mother told me that all kids
Have a guardian angel by their side.
If that were true, the good little boy
By being cute and holy should be saved.
And if God wanted to take him far away...
It seems like he's sleeping, stops crying...
You know they said not to wake him up.
If the kid gets saved, if he gets better!...
