El Consentido
Carlos Gardel
The Spoiled One
My future scares me
And my past is a mistake
I feel ashamed
I don’t know what to do, or how to live
Yeah, to wrap it up, I’m spinning out of living
Mom, today this spoiled son is drinking
Because of your love; it’s what he’s become
So much love, mom, it was fatal
Today, a vile spawn of the evil genius!
Without knowing what life costs
I tried to make it fun
And that’s how my perverted soul
Only wanted to acclimate to pleasure, laughter, and enjoyment
In my past, it was all about laughing and enjoying
And my present is just about respect
You, who always laughed so joyfully
Watching your skull son
Who’s without conscience, without morals, and without honor
Yeah, I knew how to exploit your motherly love
I’m a man, I find myself regretting
Understanding the life I’ve lived
No, I won’t resign, mom, to give up, no
But I also don’t dare to fight
The bold one of cynical audacity
That I loved was from the dens of debauchery
Without having the filthy cash that one day
Made you shine like a triumphant flower
By paying the price
A miserable guy who wants to live
For not having the guts to die!
