English Translation of Una Vida de Artista - Bardero$

Cash on the table and drugs on the counter

An artist's muse, I met her in a past life

Heavy chains, designer clothes, and everything I ever dreamed of

Back in those times when there was nothing, when nobody was around

How little money is worth if there's no peace, there's no fortune anymore

How little her love was worth, and I almost brought her the moon

Luckily I've got my people and they know I never miss

With my brother we turned a pond into an ocean, and here we are

Steadfast like the steps we take

Now we're legendary, we started with kilograms

I race against death on every road, on every stretch

And I'm reborn every time we meet

My soul is begging me not to stop doing this

I do it for your love, I never cared about first place

Bad Singers, clandestine street poets

From the Argentine south fulfilling our destiny

Fulfilling our destiny, fulfilling our destiny

This isn't music, it's drugs

Because of your malice I've lost my smile

For rushing around looking for your caresses

The people who sponsor me end up on the news

And right away they let me know who's out there demanding justice

Whoever gets hooked on this has a problem

Like someone who meets a deceitful woman today and caresses her

So much heat from her body, it burns like fire

But whoever plays with fire always ends up in ashes

Slide my knife across the wet whetstone

And if I'm walking a tightrope, I've already got the blade sharpened

I don't know if it'll be any use for cutting through the chatter

But at least I entertain myself when I play with the dagger

They pay me well for what I tell and for what I keep to myself

When it comes to business, I never delay

If they tap our phones, we all speak in Lunfardo slang

And we'll always be right there as soon as trouble starts

As soon as trouble starts, as soon as trouble starts
