Porque Me Das Dique
Carlos Gardel
Why You Act All High and Mighty
Why you act all high and mighty, lady from the group
Who never knew what love is
In the slums, the story is sung
Of the sickly vice you gave to sell
Why you act all high and mighty, don't waste your time
I know you're tailing me, really tailing me
If in more than one turn you'll have to remember
The man who knew how to risk it all for you
Go all out, lose your senses, in parties
And in tangos and in crazy brothels
You lived deceived by false grandeur
Covering up your poverty with fake glitter
Go all out in life, take advantage of it
Changing nests, clothes, and rags
In the end, you're almost there
To be one of the many who end up in the heap
Why you act all high and mighty, passing by showing off
Shady rich guys who act all big
Maybe you thought that I was mad
Knowing that you've sold your body once again
Why you act all high and mighty, if only my kisses
Will be the purest thing in your life
And when the years weigh on you
Lady from the group, you'll think of me
Go all out in life, take advantage of it
Changing nests, clothes, and rags
In the end, you're almost there
To be one of the many who end up in the heap
