Letra del Tango Sacale chispas

Cuando eras una papusa

y andabas bien empilchada,

eras la paica mimada

que a tu capricho reinabas.

A los hombres los tratabas

con el desprecio más rudo,

y más de un viejo platudo

por tu culpa se arruinó.



Pero llegó

también tu San Martín

y se acabó

tu fama de cartón.

Y la que fue

la flor del berretín

se convirtió

en otra del montón.

Y tu michét

con otra se arregló,

y te largó

sin decirte por qué,

y en la pensión

el dueño se cabrió

y te prohibió

la pieza y el buyón.



Del cabaret te espiantaron

y te prohibieron la entrada,

se te acabó la parada

te perdiste en el olvido.

Y un miserable vestido

tuvieron que regalarte,

pues causa pena mirarte

de pobrecita que estás.

English lyrics of the Tango "Sacale chispas"

When you were a young stunner

dressed up so finely,

you were the spoiled darling

who ruled on a whim.

You treated men

with the crudest disdain,

and more than one wealthy old man

was ruined because of you.

But then

your judgment day came

and ended

your superficial fame.

And the one who was

the object of obsession

became

just another in the crowd.

And your man

settled with someone else,

and he left you

without saying why,

and at the boarding house

the owner got fed up

and barred you

from the room and the meal.

They kicked you out of the cabaret

and denied you entry,

your time was up

you vanished into oblivion.

And a miserable dress

they had to give you,

for it’s pitiful to see

how poor you’ve become.
