Esta noche se casa mi niña

Tonight my girl is getting married

Esta noche se casa mi niña

This afternoon my daughter is getting married, I don't know whether to laugh or cryEsta tarde se casa mi niña yo no sé si reírme o llorar
Go on hairdresser, don't make her any prettier than she isAnda peluquera no la pongas más guapa que está
Come on, your boyfriend is waiting for youVenga ya que su novio la espera
May my arm take her to the altarQue mi brazo la lleve al altar

The priest is already lighting the candlesYa está el cura encendiendo las velas
As he passed by he looked at his room and started to cry a littleAl pasar ha mirado pa' su cuarto y un poquito se ha puesto a llorar
And he started to cry a little bitY un poquito se ha puesto a llorar
Unintentionally, my arm helped her get out of the nest and flySin querer la ayudaba mi brazo a salirse del nido y volar

Tonight I don't know whether to sleep or sit down for a while and waitEsta noche no sé si dormirme o sentarme un ratito a esperar
Or sit down for a while and waitO sentarme un ratito a esperar
Or ask the Virgin a thousand times that without me she will not lack anythingO pedirle mil veces a la virgen que sin mí no le falte de na'

With what skill did the grandmother give her the little she could gather?Con que arte le daba la abuela lo poquillo que pudo juntar
I can't find her mother, let her have her reasonsA su madre no la encuentro déjala que razones tendrá
To go back to his room for a momentPa' volverse a su cuarto un momento

You won't know whether to laugh or cryNo sabrá si reírse o llorar
She's crazy about marriageEsta loca con el casamiento
And his sister has folded a cowboyY su hermana ha doblado un vaquero

That a while ago in his room he leftQue hace un rato en su cuarto dejó
That a while ago in his room he leftQue hace un rato en su cuarto dejó
And once again he looked in the mirrorY otra vez se ha mirado al espejo
To see what you dreamed of so muchPara ver lo que tanto soñó

Tonight I don't know whether to sleep or sit down for a while and waitEsta noche no sé si dormirme o sentarme un ratito a esperar
Or sit down for a while and waitO sentarme un ratito a esperar
Or ask the Virgin a thousand times that without me she will not lack anythingO pedirle mil veces a la virgen que sin mí no le falte de na'

This afternoon I don't know what to say to him when the boy comes to hug meEsta tarde no sé que decirle cuando venga a abrazarme el chaval
I may tell you that if you said yesPuede que le diga que si ha dicho que sí
On the altar, may he love her like the first dayEn el altar que la quiera como el primer día

And if not, let her leave it as always at my sideY si no que la vuelva a dejar como siempre a la verita mía
Or will the hug for the life they are about to begin be enough?O será suficiente el abrazo por la vida que van a empezar
For the life they are about to beginPor la vida que van a empezar
And toast with a glassY brindar con un golpe de vaso
Because there is already one more at homePorque en casa ya hay uno más

Tonight I don't know whether to sleep or sit down for a while and waitEsta noche no sé si dormirme o sentarme un ratito a esperar
Or sit down for a while and waitO sentarme un ratito a esperar
Or ask the Virgin a thousand times that without me she will not lack anythingO pedirle mil veces a la virgen que sin mí no le falte de na'

On the threshold of the house the neighbors are watching how things are goingEn el quicio de la casa puerta las vecinas por ver como va
They who saw her playing in the yard as a childEllas que de niña en el patio la vieron jugar
And in her skirts they have seen her sleepingY en sus faldas la han visto dormida

They won't know whether to laugh or cry when she comes out dressed in whiteNo sabrán si reírse o llorar cuando salga de blanco vestida
And even the priest has lit another candleY hasta el cura ha encendido otra vela
When he saw how pretty she isCuando ha visto lo guapa que está
When he saw how pretty she isCuando ha visto lo guapa que está

And a cloud of rice at the door told me your girl is leavingY una nube de arroz en la puerta me decía tu niña se va
