Seguí Mi Consejo
Rechiflate del laburo, no trabajés pa los ranas,
Tirate a muerto y vivila como la vive un bacán,
Cuidate del surmenage, dejate de hacer macanas,
Dormila en colchón de plumas y morfala con champán.
Atorra las doce horas cuando el solo este a la vista,
Vivila siempre de noche porque eso es de gente bién,
Tirale el lente a las minas que ya esten comprometidas
Pa que salgan de arriba y no te cuesten tovén.
Si vas a los bailes, parate a la puerta,
Campanea a las mozas que sepan bailar,
No saqués paquetes que dan pisotones…
Que sufran y aprendan a fuerza e planchar.
Aprendé de mi que ya estoy jubilado,
No vayás al puerto, te pueden tentar,
Hay mucho laburo, te rompes el lomo,
Y no es de hombre pierna ir a trabajar.
No vayás a lecherias a pillar café con leche,
Morfate tus pucheretes en el viejo Tropezon,
Y si andas sin medio encima, cantale «Fiao» a algún mozo
En una forma muy digna pa eviterte un papelón.
Refrescos, limones, chufas, no los tomés ni aun en broma,
Piantale a la leche, hermano, que eso arruina el corazón
Mandate tus buenas cañas, hacete amigo del whisky,
Y antes de morfar rociate con unos cuantos pernós.

I Took My Advice
Rechiflate of Labor, do not work for frogs,
Fuck dead and live it like a dude lives it,
Take care of the surmenage, stop making macanas,
Sleep on a feather mattress and morph it with champagne.
Jam twelve o'clock when the only one is in sight,
Live it always at night because that's good people,
Throw the lens at the mines that are already compromised
Let them come out of the top and not cost you Toven.
If you go to the dances, stand at the door,
Ring the girls who can dance,
Do not take out packages that give trampling…
Let them suffer and learn to force and iron.
I learned from myself that I'm already retired,
Don't go to the port, they can tempt you,
There's a lot of work, you break your back,
And it's not leg man to go to work.
Don't go to dairies and get coffee with milk,
Morph your pucheretes in the old Tropezon,
And if you're out of your mind, sing "Fiao" to some guy.
In a very dignified way PA avoid you a cardboard.
Soft drinks, lemons, chufas, don't drink them even in a joke,
Piantale to the milk, brother, that it ruins the heart
Send your good reeds, make friends with whiskey,
And before you morph, spray yourself with a few legs.
