El Tango Vaselina
Mario Carva
The Vaseline Tango
They stole the border from us
The culture, the peseta
They shoved it all in
With the panties and shirt
And they kept cutting
To the bottom of the pants
And with that, feeding
The pampered banker
You have to tighten your waist
It's the never-ending phrase
Excess of heat
For a friendly speech
To rescue the bank
Of the boss's friend
And when they couldn't find more
They cut my pension
Pass the Vaseline, brother
This is hurting me
They legalized injustice
Shamelessly and deceitfully
Collecting the little money
To save the bunglers
Who went partying
With the cut from my salary
They protected the thieves
They passed us the news
The crooks were set free
And greed continues
There's no more apple left
The worms ate it
The corrupt courtiers
Chewed on it eagerly
Just to mess with us
They always find a trick
Like the opaque cards
From the Madrid bank
And we keep discovering
Every day another nonsense
Something is already rotting
In the golden elite
Pass the Vaseline, brother
This is hurting me
They legalized injustice
Shamelessly and deceitfully
Collecting the little money
To save the bunglers
Who went partying
With the cut from my salary
The Vaseline tango
This tango is for you
I'm telling you in advance
I lived through all of this
And if you have a doubt
Don't let your guard down
They have no shame
To screw you over... without fail
