Letra del Tango Sos bueno vos también

¿Qué hacés pirata, sentado en la vereda,
queriendo darte un dique pa’ la historia?
No te das cuenta que te arrancaron verde,
con esa cara feliz de zanahoria.
Tenés la pinta de un pobre diablo,
que está engrupido de un caché.
Se te ha subido el humo a la cabeza
como sube la espuma de un ‘choppe bien tiré’.
Con tus amigos pasás alacranando
frente a una taza miserable de café.

Sos bueno, vos también, tenés mucho que hablar,
y en vez de criticar, fijate en vos muy bien.
Sos bueno, vos también, sos bueno pa’ charlar,
cuando estás con José, hablás mal de Julián.
Sos bueno, vos también, pirata y alacrán,
jamás podrás gozar la dicha de un ‘beguén’.
Si acaso querés ser un niño bien bacán,
abandoná ese tren y te podés acomodar.

Te la pillaste que levantás programa
porque una mina te dio un poco de bola.
¡Levantarías!… programas en mis tiempos.
¡Levantarías, sí, sí, levantariolas!…
En esta vida, hay que ser hombre,
tener muñeca, ser muy varón,
siempre al mal tiempo ponerle buena cara
luchando con la suerte, siguiendo una ilusión.
Y así, la vida pasarla dulcemente
con un cariño que te alegre el corazón.

English lyrics of the Tango "Sos bueno vos también"

What are you doing, pirate, sitting on the sidewalk,
trying to carve out a name for yourself in history?
Don’t you see they plucked you young,
with that joyfully naive carrot face?
You look like a hopeless devil,
conned by some cachet.
Smoke has gone to your head
like foam rises from a well-poured draft.
With your friends, you spend your time stinging
over a miserable cup of coffee.

You’re good too, you’ve got lots to say,
and instead of criticizing, take a good look at yourself.
You’re good too, good at chatting,
when you’re with José, you speak ill of Julián.
You’re good too, both pirate and scorpion,
you’ll never enjoy the bliss of a cozy love.
If by chance you want to be a cool kid,
leave that path and you might set things right.

You convinced yourself you’re picking up because
a girl showed you a little attention.
You’d pick up!… plans in my days.
You’d pick up, yes, yes, you would!
In this life, you have to be a man,
be clever, be very male,
always face bad times with a smile
fighting fate, chasing a dream.
And thus, spend life sweetly
with a love that brightens your heart.

Story behind the Tango Sos bueno vos también

The lyrics of “Sos bueno vos también” dive deep into a narrative where the speaker addresses another person, referred to with phrases like “pirata” and “alacrán,” both of which have potentially negative connotations. The story paints a vivid picture of a person who sits idly, criticizing others while oblivious to his own faults. This individual, portrayed with a lack of self-awareness and indulgence in gossip, fails to realize his own shortcomings even as he disparages his acquaintances. The lyrics revolve around self-reflection, hypocrisy, and the dichotomy between appearance and reality.

Symbolism of Sos bueno vos también

The lyric “condesa que te arrancaron verde, con esa cara feliz de zanahoria” uses the imagery of being “green” and having a “carrot-like happy face” to symbolize naivety and foolish contentment in ignorance. Furthermore, calling someone a “pirata” (pirate) and “alacrán” (scorpion) implies deceit and stinginess, respectively, painting a character trait that is not to be admired. Another notable phrase, “siempre al mal tiempo ponerle buena cara,” advises always presenting a good face during bad times, which implies resilience and optimism, contrasting sharply with the subject’s current behavior. Lastly, “la dicha de un ‘beguén'” suggests a joyful, content state that the person in question is unable to achieve due to his attitudes and behaviors.
