Conozco muchos que después de criticar se fueron a clavar en un cariño, y esos, después de reír, los he visto sufrir y llorar como niños... Ahí nadie puede guapear porque he visto aflojar hasta el más sobrador. Si no quierés pifiar tendrás que caminar con cuidado en el amor. |
I've known a good many men who criticized their share and soon enough got snared within a romance, and these guys, for all their jeers, I have seen them suffer like children all in tears... There no one can tough it out; I've seen even the most proud gotten the better of. If you want to keep your head, make certain that you tread with caution in matters of love. |

Llorar, llorar por una mujer es quererla y no tenerla. Llorar, llorar por una mujer es muy hondo padecer. Vos que pa' l'amor fuiste retobao, hoy tu pena es fuerte y te tiene arrinconao, y hoy que no la ves y que la querés, se te achica el alma, y recién sabés lo que es llorar, llorar por una mujer. |
To cry, to cry over a girl is to want her and not to get her. To cry, to cry over a girl is a suffering that strikes you deep. Once when it came to love you stood so fortified, and now your back's to the wall with your troubles multiplied, and now that you can't see her and crave her still and need her, your spirit bails out on you, and at last you understand what it means for a man to cry, to cry over a girl. |

Muchachos, ya lo ven, al potro del amor no hay gaucho domador que lo domine. Cuando nos entra a tallar una pena de amar el varón se define... Ahi comprobamos lo que es ese fiero revés que nos hace llorar... Conozco muchos que después de criticar los he ido a consolar. |
Fellas, now you see, love's colt has never met the horse-breakin' gaucho yet who half could tame it. As soon as we feel the start of our getting sick at heart, it shows a man what he's made of... There we each stare down that vicious turnaround that forces us to cry... I've known a good many men who criticized their share, and I've wiped the tears from their eyes. |
