The Well Paid One

Antonio Molina

La Bien Paga

Ná te pido,
Ná te debo
Me voy de tu vera,
Olvídame ya
Que he pagao con oro
Tus carnes morenas
No maldigas paya,
Que estamos en paz.

No te quiero,
No me quieras
Si to me lo diste,
Yo ná te pedí
No me eches en cara
Que to lo perdiste
También a tu vera
Yo to lo perdí.

Bien pagá,
Si tu eres la bien pagá,
Porque tus besos compré
Y a mí te supiste dar
Por un puñao de parné
Bien pagá, bien pagá
Bien pagá fuiste mujé.

No te engaño,
Quiero a otra,
No creas por eso
Que te traicioné
No cayó en mis brazos,
Me dió sólo un beso,
El único beso
Que yo no pagué.

Ná te pido,
Ná me llevo
Entre esas paredes
Dejo sepultás
Penas y alegrías
Que te he dao y me diste
Y esas joyas que ahora
Otro lucirás.

Bien pagá,
Si tu eres la bien pagá,
Porque tus besos compré
Y a mí te supiste dar
Por un puñao de parné
Bien pagá, bien pagá
Bien pagá fuiste mujé.

The Well Paid One

I ask you for nothing,
I owe you nothing
I'm leaving your side,
Forget me now
I've paid with gold
For your dark skin
Don't curse, woman,
We are at peace.

I don't love you,
Don't love me
If you gave me everything,
I asked for nothing
Don't throw in my face
That you lost everything
By your side as well
I lost everything.

Well paid,
If you are the well paid one,
Because I bought your kisses
And you knew how to give yourself to me
For a handful of money
Well paid, well paid
Well paid you were, woman.

I'm not deceiving you,
I love another,
Don't think because of that
That I betrayed you
She didn't fall into my arms,
She only gave me a kiss,
The only kiss
That I didn't pay for.

I ask you for nothing,
I take nothing with me
Among those walls
I leave buried
Sorrows and joys
That I gave you and you gave me
And those jewels that now
Another will wear.

Well paid,
If you are the well paid one,
Because I bought your kisses
And you knew how to give yourself to me
For a handful of money
Well paid, well paid
Well paid you were, woman.
