Tango do Meretrício
João de Almeida Neto
Whorehouse Tango
I tore up the marriage certificate
I stuck my arm in the woman
It was a big fuss, I put on an elegant suit
I sent away two lovers and headed to the whorehouse
There's no better place than the whorehouse
In vice is where I find my role
I drink and sing a tango for the girls
That I am the son of a maid of Gardel's aunt
Since I was a kid, I was never a good guy
Because lack of respect has always been my vocation
Reading my hand, a gypsy said it all
Either they cut this tail off or impregnate the whole nation
They say I'll only be good after I'm dead
Because a crooked tree won't straighten out
I'm stubborn and because I don't agree with that
I headed to the whorehouse and I'll stay until I straighten out
Tomorrow my wife, who is a devout woman
Will gather the whole family to try to redeem me
But I guarantee that as long as I have money
Even if they call the firefighters, they won't take me out of here
