‘‘ Con la Verdad no se Juega’’

VOICE 1: She came with a handkerchief in her hand, her glasses perched on her nose to show her gaze, her eyes full of veins, her intentions weren't good, she looked all around to see who she was going to hook up with. Dressed extravagantly with her blouse untucked. CHORUS: She was trying to be elegant without knowing. VOICE 1: That it was out of fashion. You want to, but you can't, so much distinction isn't in style on the street anymore, trying to attract attention or act like you own the boardwalk, don't mess with people who behave decently. Your look doesn't matter anymore. Your look, baby, doesn't matter anymore. Tell me now. CHORUS: It doesn't matter, your look doesn't interest me. VOICE 1: No, no, no, no, no, no, but look, I'll repeat, what happened to you? You've lost your mind. CHORUS: It doesn't matter, your look doesn't interest me. VOICE 1: Let me remind you that the way you look at me isn't good for you. Tell me, what's wrong with you now, Mom? CHORUS: It has nothing to do with it, I'm not interested in your look. VOICE 1: And when you're walking down the boulevard, people say, "Grab her, she's coming this way." Girl. CHORUS: I'm not interested. VOICE 1: What? CHORUS: What Teresa says. VOICE 1: Imagine, even if you wake me up at two in the morning, I'll tell you CHORUS: I'm not interested in what Teresa says. VOICE 1: I know you're suffering because I don't pay attention to you, you really are a failure. CHORUS: I'm not interested in what Teresa says. VOICE 1: And you want me to tell you the truth? The hand you can't knock over, kiss it, kiss it, Mom. CHORUS: I'm not interested in what Teresa says. VOICE 1: What's it to me, my little darling, I already... CHORUS: Whatever Teresa says. Whatever Teresa says. Whatever Teresa says. VOICE 1: Luján. Very hard. VOICE 2: You're telling me that you're not interested in that, and this is the advice, Mommy, that Teresa gives you. I'm telling you to listen to it, don't be stubborn. Go on, say it loudly, always keep it in mind. Stay still, you know it, and find your partner because here you don't play with the truth anymore. Listen to the advice because otherwise you won't live to old age, listen to this advice that I give you and that I leave you. Tell her, Puly. VOICE 1: Hands up everyone and clap. Go on. VOICE 1: Dan Den. VOICE 1: Listen and pay attention to me. CHORUS: You don't play with the truth. VOICE 1: Even if you tell me it's the latest fashion from the Bronx. CHORUS: You don't play with the truth. VOICE 1: Even if you tell me you came straight from Paris. CHORUS: You don't play with the truth. VOICE 1: I'm not interested, you can pull that big nose of yours. CHORUS: You don't play with the truth. VOICE 1: Girl. CHORUS: You don't play with the truth. VOICE 1: The truth comes out on its own. CHORUS: You don't play with the truth (…)

VOZ 1: Venía con un pañuelo en la mano,
las gafas por la nariz
para mostrar su mirada,
los ojos llenos de venas,
su intención no era buena,
miraba para todas partes para ver
con quien la va a coger.

Vestida extravagante
con la blusa por fuera
CORO: Se hacía la elegante sin saber.
VOZ 1: Que estaba fuera de moda.

Tú quieres,
pero no puedes
ya no se usa en la calle
tanta distinción,
llamar la atención
ni hacerte la dueña del malecón,
no te metas con la gente
que se comporta decente.

Ya tu looking
no tiene que ver.

Ya tu looking, nena,
no tiene que ver.

Dime ahora.

CORO: No tiene que ver,
tu looking a mí no me interesa.

VOZ 1: No, no, no, no, no, no,
pero es que mira te repito ¿qué te pasó?
Has perdido la cabeza.

CORO: No tiene que ver,
tu looking a mí no me interesa.

VOZ 1: Permíteme recordarte que a ti,
no te conviene esa forma de mirarme
dime ¿qué te pasa ahora, mamá?

CORO: No tiene que ver,
tu looking a mí no me interesa.

VOZ 1: Y cuando vienes caminando
por el bule, bule, boulevard
la gente dice
agárrala que por ahí va.

Muchacha.

CORO: A mí no me interesa.
VOZ 1: ¿Qué cosa?
CORO: Lo que diga Teresa.
VOZ 1: Imagínate,
aunque me levantes a las dos de la mañana yo te diré

CORO: A mí no me interesa
lo que diga Teresa.
VOZ 1: Yo sé que tú estás sufriendo
porque no te hago caso,
de verdad eres un fracaso.

CORO: A mí no me interesa
lo que diga Teresa.
VOZ 1: Y quieres que te diga una verdad,
la mano que no puedas tumbar,
bésala, bésala, mamá.

CORO: A mí no me interesa
lo que diga Teresa.
VO 1: A mí qué, mi ñongo,
ya yo.

CORO: Lo que diga Teresa.
Lo que diga Teresa.
Lo que diga Teresa.

VOZ 1: Luján.
Durísimo

VOZ 2: Es que tú me estas diciendo que eso a ti no te interesa,
y este es el consejo, mami, que te da Teresa.
Yo te lo digo que lo escuches, que no seas mala cabeza.
Anda, dilo fuertemente, siempre llévalo presente,
Estate quieta tú lo sabes, y busca tu pareja
que aquí con la verdad ya no se juega.
Escucha el consejo que si no, no llegas a viejo,
escucha este consejo que te doy y que te dejo.

Díselo, Puly.

VOZ 1. : Manos para arriba todo el mundo
y con palmas.
Anda.
VOZ 1: Dan Den.

VOZ 1: Escucha y ponme atención.
CORO: Con la verdad no se juega.
VOZ 1: Aunque me digas que es la última moda del Bronx.
CORO: Con la verdad no se juega.
VOZ 1: Aunque tú me digas que vienes directamente de París.
CORO: Con la verdad no se juega.
VOZ 1: No me interesa, como si me estiras esa gran nariz.
CORO: Con la verdad no se juega.
VOZ 1: Muchacha.
CORO: Con la verdad no se juega.
VOZ 1: La verdad sale solita.
CORO: Con la verdad no se juega
