Letra del Milonga Sali del paso Manolo

Salí del paso manolo, salí
No te pusiste consejos
Que solo por ser viejo me oís
El diablo se pinta solo
Salí del paso manolo Salí
Y anda por otro camino
que lecciones de cariño
Puedo darte una legión

Si amor te ofrece una moza
No te entregues, despacito
Deja madurar la cosa
Y aflójale de a poquito
Por que si haces a querer
pueden verte la barata
Y jugando sin ventaja pierde gana la mujer

Si amor te ofrece una moza
No te entregues, despacito
Deja madurar la cosa
Y aflójale de a poquito
porque si haces a querer
pueden verte la barata
“-Qué le parece a usted Don Ricardo?”
-Me parece que…
-Bien le gana a la mujer!”

English lyrics of the Milonga "Sali del paso Manolo"

Get out of the way, Manolo, get out,
You never took advice,
Just because I am old you hear me,
The devil can act on his own.
Get out of the way, Manolo, get out,
Take another path,
For lessons of affection,
I can give you a legion.

If a young girl offers you love,
Don’t surrender too quickly,
Let things mature,
And loosen up bit by bit.
Because if you start to love,
They might see through you,
And playing at a disadvantage, the woman wins.

If a young girl offers you love,
Don’t surrender too quickly,
Let things mature,
And loosen up bit by bit.
Because if you start to love,
They might see through you,
“What do you think, Mr. Ricardo?”
“I think that…”
“Well, she beats the man!”
