La Gorda [English translation]

Sirs, I’m very skinny

but with a tender heart

and I have a fat girlfriend

to spend the winter.

She weights 130 kilos.

She eats a whole piglet.

I don’t care that she’s fat

if I don’t want her to run.

Turned around she’s like an oven

with the shape of an ombu tree.

She heats when it’s cold

and outshines me in the summer.

Too bad partner,

the chacarera is ending

and among empanadas and wine

the morning comes.

Last night I went out dancing

with my girlfriend Ruperta.

For her to get in

they had to widen the door.

They got her off a truck

surrounded of people looking

and a rancher shouted

“I buy that heifer”.

She doesn’t fit in any sofa.

She sits over a table.

Who could have a liter of wine

for every kilo she weights.

Too bad partner,

the chacarera is ending

and among empanadas and wine

the morning comes.
