Padrino Pelado
Carlos Gardel
Bald Godfather
Hell yeah, guys! What a wedding!
Oh God, so many chicks! It's all set up!
And those young guys, tough guys from the neighborhood,
they come shouting: 'Bald godfather!'
The neighborhood is stirred up with their commotion...
There, on the sidewalk, you can see, among the crowd,
the withered face of some young girl
who has already lost her illusion forever.
And so, quietly,
the old ladies from the neighborhood
comment on the matter
with admiration:
'Did you see, ma'am,
what a shamelessness?
Wearing white
after sinning!'
And an Italian tough guy
grumbles at the door
because a jerk
stole his stew:
'Here, in this house,
you don't come in.
I've been told
that you're a freeloader.'
Hell yeah, guys: let's shout louder!
Oh God, what a cheapskate! Hasn't thrown a penny...
How annoying, guys! He's playing dumb.
Shout, Pulguita! Bald Godfather!'
And that young girl on the sidewalk
watches sadly as the bride goes by.
Her withered soul fills with anguish
thinking she will never have the white trousseau.
