Champagne tango

Those veteran chicks
who always settled,
who never complained
even if it stung,
living in their dump
living a poor life
in a shabby place
missing a mattress.

How many times with bitter mate
deceiving their stomach
and many days went by
without having food!
The dump was the comfort
for those bitter moments
that, due to bad luck
had no food to eat.

Those chicks are gone
who always settled
for what the big shot gave them
if he was a real big shot.
Today they only want dresses
and rich jewels,
convertible cars
to stroll around the city.

No one wants a tenement
or to be a poor seamstress,
nor to look shabby...
They just want to pretend
to be friends with so-and-so
who has a lot of dough
who rents an apartment
and takes them to Pigall.

To have a car,
to have a maid
and a fancy hat
to party
with a gigolo;
a carpeted room
of high standing,
to have a maid
and... who knows!
And so...
in every way
