The Well Paid

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

I ain't asking for nothing,
I don't owe you nothing
I'm leaving your side,
forget me now
I've paid with gold
for your dark skin
Don't curse, girl,
we're at peace.

I don't love you,
don't love me
if you gave me everything,
I didn't ask for anything
Don't throw in my face
that you lost everything
by your side
I lost everything too.

Well paid,
if you are well paid,
because I bought your kisses
and you knew how to give yourself to me
for a handful of cash
well paid, well paid
well paid you were, woman.

I'm not deceiving you,
I love another,
Don't think because of 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 ain't asking for nothing,
I'm not taking anything with me
within those walls
I leave buried
the sorrows and joys
that I gave you and you gave me
and those jewels that now
someone else will flaunt.

Well paid,
if you are well paid,
because I bought your kisses
and you knew how to give yourself to me
for a handful of cash
well paid, well paid
well paid you were, woman.
