Canchero [English translation]

For the record of my life you're an easy race

that I can dare to win without thrill or final stage.

I tell you for you to understand in this horse slang

that you're a filly for a hippodrome race

and I -look!- I've been tried for the championship...

You know that since kid I had a sharp look.

I was bold, with class, I was brave and follower!

For my father blood I liked heavy going

and in that neighborhood fights I always appeared first

winning many finals by force of heart.

The love of a girl who doubled me

in malice and experience made me lose.

But when I was used to the weight and the saddle

she can tell you the game we had!

Later, in the roulette, I started to try fortune

and many times luck was friendly...

Many others I went out broke to talk with the moon,

through the lonely streets of the sensitive suburb...

I've became patient in the gamble and experienced in the milonga,

mistrusted in the roulette, the same as in love...

I've seen crumbling without nobody disposing it

a hundred castles of illusions, for a useless cause

and I've seen brave men crying for women like you.

You see, on this way you're dead with your show...

I don't want love of kisses, I want love of friendship.

No sweet words, no cuddles or tales:

I want a partner to tell her what I feel

and a woman who advises with judgement and goodness.
