After dating for yearsDespués de noviar por años
We finally got marriedFinalmente nos casamos
We bought a bedNos compramos una cama
A table and a wardrobeUna mesa y un armario

On Sundays, ravioliLos domingos los ravioles
At mom's houseEn la casa de mamá
And the game in the afternoonY el partido por la tarde
On the national radioEn la radio nacional

I must have been such a foolMira si habré sido otario
That one day she ran awayQue esta un día se rajó
Now I play solitaireAhora juego al solitario
Even the canary left meNi el canario me dejó

You went to buy cigarettesTe fuiste a comprar los puchos
And I never saw you againY jamás te volví a ver
Now you're with that gauchoAhora andas con ese gaucho que
That I can't standNo lo puedo ni ver

He takes you through the gateTe lleva por la tranquera
With a gallop that can't be seenCon un galope que no se lo ve
They say he has a little ranchDicen que tiene un ranchito
With a microwave and DVDCon microondas y DVD

He always carries his knifeSiempre anda con su cuchillo
That if he catches you, he'll cut you in threeQue si te agarra te corta en tres
It's long as a roadEs largo como un camino
And wide as a caimanY ancho como un yacaré

When I entered the general storeCuando entré a la pulpería
I couldn't believe itNo lo podía creer
Hugging that gauchoAbrazada a ese gaucho
I found her at the barEn la barra la encontré

Not even two minutes passedNo pasaron dos minutos
And I confronted the dark-haired manQue al morocho lo increpé
Give me back Maria!¡Devuélveme a la María!
Or I'll tear you apart!¡O te voy a descoser!

And right there we faced offY ahí nomás nos enfrentamos
The dagger against the big knifeEl puñal contra el facón
I threw his hat to the groundLe tiré el sombrero al piso
And you can't imagine the chaos that ensuedY no sabes la que se armó

He stabbed meMe tiró una puñalada
But luckily I dodged itQue por suerte la esquivé
We fell to the ground togetherNos caímos junto al suelo
And when I was about to kill himY cuando estaba por matarlo
I looked into his eyesLo miré fijo a los ojos
Honey-colored eyes that meltColor miel que se derriten
Like the countryside in springComo el campo en primavera
With birds singingCon los pájaros cantando
I looked and fell in loveLo miré y me enamoré

And now I understand why one dayY ahora entiendo por qué un día
You left without painTe rajaste sin dolor
Now we agree on somethingAhora en algo coincidimos
This gaucho is a hunk!¡Este gaucho es un bombón!
And although I miss my canaryY aunque extraño a mi canario
If you want to keep himSi quieres quedátelo
And don't forget the birdseedY no te olvides del alpiste
You're done and dusted!Que ¡ya fuiste y se acabó!

And that was the sad storyY así fue la triste historia
Of Don Zoilo and his fierce dollDe Don Zoilo y su muñeca brava
Now he's a transvestiteAhora es un travesti
Who goes from town to townQue anda de pueblo en pueblo
Showing to whoever wants and paysMostrando a quien quiera y pague
His little leather cowhide pantsSu bombachita e' cuero e' vaca
