Con una pala y un sombrero

I hope that when you look around,
You don't notice that life has passed you by,
That at the time of your passing, they don't let me see
The years passing on your skin.

And I hope that at the moment of goodbye
You remember me as I remember you, Huuuu.

Distance distracted us, until I found out
From your letter, that there's nothing more to do.
The cigarette always wins and this time too
Don't blame yourself, I have taken the same train.

And I hope that wherever you go, you're well,
Through the door you choose, I'll know.

Who else but you,
With a shovel and a hat
Opens the earth, without plow or tractor?
Who else but you, works on New Year's?
Who else but you deserves the sky
To sow it all?

And I hope that when you look around
Simply, they introduce you to Gardel,
May the Lord give you his hand,
And through him, you find out,
That your grandchildren are growing up well,

And I hope that at the moment of goodbye,
You remember me as I remember you.

Who else but you,
With a shovel and a hat
Opens the earth, without plow or tractor?
Who else but you, works on New Year's?
Who else but you deserves the sky
To sow it all?

Who else but you,
With a shovel and a hat,
With no more wealth than a bicycle in the sun
Who else but you, who was always a good old man?
Who else but you, deserves the sky,
To sow it all?
