Martín Fierro

Here I start to sing
to the rhythm of the guitar,
that to the man who is tormented
by an extraordinary sorrow
like the lonely bird,
with singing he finds solace

Make friends with the judge,
don't give him a reason to complain
and when he wants to get angry
you have to keep quiet
Because it's always good to have
a place to go scratch yourself.

Don't envy anyone,
it's very sad to envy
when you see someone else succeed
don't get in their way
Each piglet has its own teat
that's the way to suckle.

And if I sing in this way
for finding it appropriate,
it's not to harm anyone,
but for the good of all
