Mentiras Criollas
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
Si querés vivir feliz
Si ilusión querés tener
Conformate con creer
Sin entrar a discutir
Que te besan por amor
Que salís de un cabaret
Que por viejas no des diez
Pues no hay liquidación
Que si corren pa' ganarte
Lo vienen a decir
Que te van a conseguir
Un empleo nacional
Que no ha sido macarrón
La ternera que comés
Y que el vino que te alegra
Tuvo uva alguna vez
Si al consejo andás cuerpeando
Te prevengo como amigo
Que las cosas que te digo
Son verdades al revés
Dalas vuela, medítalas
Campaniá que son fuleras
Y mirá lo que espera
Si en mentira no creés
Vos tomá y analizá
No te hagás el Kayserlín
Que es mejor hacerse el gil
Ser creyente y no dudar
Que el casorio arreglás
Con la rifa del chalet
Que firmás los pagarés
Con la guita que te dan
Que el patrón te va a aumentar
Si cinchás de Sol a Sol
Que de músico a doctor
Por correo aprenderás
Que el calmante pa'l resfrío
No te pasma el corazón
Y por su valor escrito
Jugarás la del millón
