Carlos Gardel "Ventarron" lyrics

Translation to:en

Ventarron

Por tu fama, por tu estampaSos el malevo mentado del hampa,Sos el mas taura entre todos los tauras,Sos el mismo "Ventarrón".

Quien te iguala por tu rangoEn las canyengues quebradas del tangoEn la conquista de los corazonesSi llega la ocasión.

Entre el malevaje"Ventarrón" a vos te llaman,"Ventarrón" por tu coraje,Por tus hazañas todos te aclamanY a pesar de todo"Ventarrón" dejo Pompeya.Y se fue tras de la estrellaQue su destino le señalo

Muchos años han pasadoY sus guapezas y sus berrentines.Los fue dejando por los cafetinesComo un castigo de Dios,Solo y triste, casi enfermoCon sus derrotas mordiéndole el almaVolvió el malevo buscando su famaQue otro ya conquistó.

Ya no sos el mismo"Ventarrón" de aquellos tiemposSos cartón para el amigoY para el maula un pobre cristoY al sentir un tangoCompadrón y retobadoRecordás de aquel pasado,Las glorias guapas del "Ventarrón".

Hurricane

For your fame, for your character,You are the renowned ruffian of the underworld,You are the boldest among the bold,You are the great "Hurricane".

None equal you in rankIn the fractured tango dances,Or in the conquest of heartsIf you get the opportunity.

The ruffian enters;"Hurricane" is what they call you,"Hurricane" for your courage,For your feats that everyone applauds.Yet, despite everything,"Hurricane" left PompeyaAnd went to chase the starThat his destiny pointed out for him.

Many years have passed,And his caprices and feats of valorAre now just tossed about in cafesLike a punishment from God.Alone, sad, almost sick,With his defeats biting his soul,The ruffian returned to seek his glory --But someone else has claimed it now!

Now, you're no longer the same"Hurricane" of those years;You're the butt of jokes for friends,And a poor Christ for the cowardly.And, whenever you hear aSappy and stultifying tango,You recall that past:The glorious adventures of "Hurricane"!
