Chacarera Of The Handsome
An old man gave me a word of advice:
to deserve
go around the square
before nightfall.
Rounds and rounds went by
several days and even a month,
eight pairs of espadrilles
but not one woman.
They already tell me gold crins
velay, what impudence
they get scared of seeing me alone
if that is already stubbornness.
Chorus
To those who say are called 'ugly'
do not let youselves be convinced
Christian´s ideas
different ways of seeing
II
That's why I live alone
alone and without a love,
the glasses are my friends
and the night club is my wife.
Lies that I'm so ugly
envy they shall have of me,
it is enough that one stands out
for them to want to sweep you.
Lies that I'm so ugly
that I can´t get a woman,
the causes I know them
these are times of scarcity

Excuse me
Versions: #2
Excuse me if you don´t understand what I sing,
maybe we speak different languages.
You always complain about these little corners of the world and I,
and I love and admire our people *(folks).
You always squander sunrises
talking about he skyies of other lands,
on the contrary I start my day *(journey)
happy that I am under these stars.
Excuse me if you don´t understand me,
Excuse me if I don´t understand you.
You speak through other people´s mouth
and I,
and I am the echo of my nation *(people)
Excuse me if I say in my way,
you sow rancour and I *(sow) hope,
you envy the others their flag
and I adore my light blue and white (flag, the Argentinian one).
I am like the ovenbird and I rebel,
my homeland is my and I defend it!
On the contrary you *(plural pronoun in this case) are like the thrushs
that want to brood in other´s nest.
