Lyrics
Vamos, vamos, cantorcito
Que andás de contramano
A la gente le costó mucho
Para verte triunfar
Y mientras vos cantabas, yo creo que tu mente
Estaba en otro lado
Contando las entradas
Devolvele al pueblo la canción que le sacaste
Ellos siempre están dispuestos a perdonarte
Quién te dijo que la gente
Se levanta alegre para ir a trabajar
Lamento decirte, pero estás equivocado
La gente sólo se ríe si le dicen la verdad
La verdad no debería ofender a nadie
El que no la acepta es porque mintiendo está
Yo creo que sos bueno
Y sos un padre ejemplar
Con eso no me meto, te deseo lo mejor
De todo corazón, te lo digo como hermano
Porque a pesar de todo de la misma patria somos
La gente ya quiere escuchar otra canción
Se sienten impotentes si un cantor no los defiende
El indio hace vasija y artesanía de barro
Y luego van de aquí y se la compran por dos mangos
Eso, por ejemplo, es decir una verdad
Y quedan muchas que podrías vos cantar
La gente te pide que ahora pagues una entrada
Ellos quieren verse alguna vez triunfar
Vamos, vamos, cantorcito
Que andás de contramano
Tus letras siempre dicen
Que anda todo, todo bien
Te doy un consejo: aportá un poquito más
Tu forma de pensar
Se quedó en el Club del Clan
Devolvele al pueblo la canción que le sacaste
Ellos siempre están dispuestos a perdonarte
Lyrics translation
Come on, Come on, little singer
That you're going countermano
It cost people a lot
To see you succeed
And while you were singing, I think your mind
I was somewhere else.
Counting entries
Give the people back the song you got from them.
They are always willing to forgive you
Who told you that people
He gets up cheerful to go to work
I'm sorry to tell you, but you're wrong.
People only laugh if they tell the truth
The truth should not offend anyone
The one who does not accept it is because lying is
I think you're good.
And you're an exemplary father
I don't get involved with that. I wish you the best.
With all my heart, I tell you as a brother
Because in spite of everything from the same homeland we are
People already want to hear another song
They feel powerless if a singer doesn't defend them
The Indian makes pottery and clay crafts
And then they go out of here and buy it for two bucks.
That, for example, is telling a truth
And there are many that you could sing
People are asking you to pay for a ticket now
They want to see you ever succeed
Come on, Come on, little singer
That you're going countermano
Your lyrics always say
It's all right.
I give you a tip: contribute a little bit more
Your way of thinking
He stayed at the Clan Club
Give the people back the song you got from them.
They are always willing to forgive you
