A Rita [English translation]

Rita took away my smile

With her smile, my conversation

She took with her what was rightfully mine

She riped me off her chest and more

She took her picture, her rags, her plate

What a blunder!

A San Francis statue

And a good record by Noel Rosa

Rita killed our love, and as a revenge

Left no inheritance behind

She didn't take no money, because I had none

But she caused dammages

She took my plans, my poor illusions

My 20's, my heart

And to top it off, made my guitar dumb
