Galán de cartón

Entra a la disco de altiva mirada
se ajusta el cinturón con gran esmero
con aires de galán y caballero
con pantalón y camisa entallada

Creyéndose de la fiesta el monarca
a todas le dedica una mirada
Se mueve de manera exagerada
rechinando sus zapatos de marca

El jura que ninguna se resiste
a su porte genial y a sus encantos
exhibiendo atributos que son tantos
para él su figura es lo que existe

Se acerca a las muchachas muy osado
haciendo movimientos muy extraños
que bien a usted la han tratado los años
de aquella cuarentona se ha burlado

Con giros y fíguras se ha adueñado
de una parte extensa de la pista
dejando a todo el público a la vista
que era el bombón más cotizado

Pero en el fragor de aquel meneo,
bajando hasta el nivel del pavimento,
se escucha un estallido en el momento
que acabó de un tajo el coqueteo.

Los hilos de la tela se han quejado
de tanta humillación y de maltrato,
le han hecho pasar tan amargo rato
a aquel pobre galán enamorado.

Por el roto abierto en el pantalón
asoma el calzoncillo de lunares,
haciendo entre la gente malavares
acabó de golpe toda la función

Allá salió corriendo el imprudente
tapándose el desastre con la mano,
gigante seductor se volvió enano
en medio de las burlas de la gente

Quería ser de la fiesta la atracción
mostrando su careta mal vestida.
Solo risas atrajo en su salida
digno fin para un galán de cartón

Quien vive de apariencia dice el dicho,
muere de desengaño de seguro,
tras un muro de orgullo frio y oscuro
por seguir la ambición de su capricho.

Cardboard Heartthrob. Humorous Quatrain

Cardboard Heartthrob

He enters the disco with a haughty glance
adjusts his belt with great care
with the air of a heartthrob and a gentleman
in tailored pants and a fitted shirt

Believing himself the king of the party
he gives every girl a look
He moves in an exaggerated way
squeaking his designer shoes

He swears that none can resist
his brilliant bearing and charms
showing off so many attributes
for him, his figure is all that matters

He approaches the girls very boldly
making very strange movements
how well the years have treated you
he has mocked that woman in her forties

With twists and turns he has taken over
a large part of the dance floor
leaving the entire audience in plain sight
that he was the most sought-after hunk

But in the heat of that wiggle,
as she lowers herself to the level of the pavement,
a crack is heard just as
the flirtation comes to an abrupt end.

The threads of the fabric have complained
of so much humiliation and mistreatment,
they have put that poor, lovesick suitor
through such a bitter ordeal.

Through the tear in his pants,
his polka-dot underwear peeks out;
as it fluttered through the crowd,
the whole show came to an abrupt end.

There he ran, the reckless one,
covering the disaster with his hand;
the seductive giant turned into a dwarf
amidst the crowd’s mockery.

He wanted to be the party’s main attraction,
showing off his poorly dressed mask.
He drew only laughter as he left—
a fitting end for a cardboard heartthrob.

As the saying goes, he who lives by appearances
is sure to die of disillusionment,
behind a wall of cold, dark pride,
for following the whims of his ambition.
