Cesantías de Amor
Ay, me critican que yo vivo enamorado
Me critican que yo vivo enamorado
Dicen que vivo entregado a la morena mía
Y hasta dicen que no salgo de esa calle
Que tendrán que jubilarme y darme cesantías
Que primero censuraba a los amigos
Porque vivía sometido y que llegó mi día
Y recuerdan que con gusto parrandeaba
Y si no me acompañaban yo me resentía
Y el que no sabe puede pensar mal
Que me pusieron una condición
Y el que no sabe puede pensar mal
Que me pusieron una condición
Que tengo que dejar de tomar
Si quiero tener un corazón
Que tengo que dejar de tomar
Si quiero tener un corazón
Ay, si quiero tener un corazón
Yo tengo que dejar de tomar, ¡hombre!
Quién ha dicho que yo por tomarme un trago
Quién ha dicho que yo por tomarme un trago
Voy a despreciar un regalo que ya casi es mío
Que se vayan al olvido mis parrandas
Mi morena es la que manda y diario se lo digo
Si después que yo consiga quién me quiera
Yo no creo que porque beba me va a formar un lío
Si ella puede por lo menos al comienzo
Imponerme sus derechos y yo después los míos
Digan ustedes si no es con razón
Que ya no tomo ni salgo de allá
Digan ustedes si no es con razón
Que ya no tomo ni salgo de allá
Después que tenga su corazón
Entonces lo salgo a festejar
Después que tenga su corazón
Entonces lo salgo a festejar
Ay después que tenga su corazón
Entonces lo salgo a festejar
¡Claro cacique, con todos tus seguidores!
Ay mis amigos de la infancia y de muchacho
Mis amigos de la infancia y de muchacho
Que nos apreciamos tanto y que juntos crecimos
No me ofende que en la vida mía se metan
Yo sé que es porque me aprecian y son mis amigos
Yo comprendo que quizás se sientan celos
De pensar que aquellos tiempos más nunca vivimos
Les confieso que al principio fue un capricho
Pero yo la necesito para estar tranquilo
Y ella que sabe que yo soy así
Tendrá razones pa' corresponder
Y ella que sabe que yo soy así
Tendrá razones pa' corresponder
Sabiendo que me tengo que ir
Y al rato me quiero devolver
Sabiendo que me tengo que ir
Y al rato me quiero devolver
Ay sabiendo que me tengo que ir
Y al rato me quiero devolver
Love Severance Pay
Oh, they criticize me for living in love
They criticize me for living in love
They say I live devoted to my dark-skinned girl
And they even say I don't leave that street
That they will have to retire me and give me severance pay
That I used to censor my friends first
Because I lived submissively and my day has come
And they remember that I used to enjoy partying
And if they didn't accompany me, I felt resentful
And those who don't know might think wrong
That they put a condition on me
And those who don't know might think wrong
That they put a condition on me
That I have to stop drinking
If I want to have a heart
That I have to stop drinking
If I want to have a heart
Oh, if I want to have a heart
I have to stop drinking, man!
Who said that because I have a drink
Who said that because I have a drink
I will despise a gift that is almost mine
Let my parties be forgotten
My dark-skinned girl is the one in charge and I tell her every day
If after I find someone who loves me
I don't think that because I drink, I will cause trouble
If she can at least at the beginning
Impose her rights on me and then mine
Tell me if it's not reasonable
That I no longer drink or go out there
Tell me if it's not reasonable
That I no longer drink or go out there
After she has her heart
Then I will go out to celebrate
After she has her heart
Then I will go out to celebrate
Oh, after she has her heart
Then I will go out to celebrate
Of course, chief, with all your followers!
Oh my childhood and teenage friends
My childhood and teenage friends
Who appreciate each other so much and grew up together
It doesn't offend me that they interfere in my life
I know it's because they appreciate me and are my friends
I understand that maybe they feel jealous
Thinking that those times will never come back
I confess that at first it was a whim
But I need her to be calm
And she who knows that I am like this
Will have reasons to reciprocate
And she who knows that I am like this
Will have reasons to reciprocate
Knowing that I have to leave
And later I want to come back
Knowing that I have to leave
And later I want to come back
Oh, knowing that I have to leave
And later I want to come back
