Matrimonio (part. Alberto Echagüe)

So much time has passedTanto tiempo que ha corrido
With the prize of marriageCon el premio matrimonio
To catch a good husbandPor pescar un buen marido
And finally retireY poderse jubilar

She’s got water on her kneesTiene agua en las rodillas
From praying to Saint AnthonyPor rezarle a san antonio
And she’s practiced twenty waysY ensayo veinte maneras
To try and lose some weightDe poder adelgazar

She always had it readyTuvo siempre preparada
The little clothes in the closetLa ropita en el armario
Scented with lavenderPerfumada con lavanda
Because it brings purityPorque infunde castidad

A hundred recipes for cookingCien recetas de cocina
That they’d broadcast on the radioQue dictaban por la radio
And a spoiled little dollY un muñeco malcriado
From a charity shopDe un bazar de caridad

I don’t know what happenedYo no sé qué paso
That the husband she longed forQue el marido tan ansiado
Turned out more tiredLe ha salido más cansado
Than a train station workerQue mateo de estación

I don’t know what happenedYo no sé qué paso
So much eye candy in the windowTanto chic en la vidriera
And it was just some cheap stuffY era un género cualquiera
That shrank when washedQue al lavarlo se encogió

What a finale to seeHay que ver qué final
Norma’s a rose, you knowEl de norma es una rosa
Compared to the tileComparado a la baldosa
What a floor for her troubleQué piso para su mal

What a finale to seeHay que ver qué final
If Cupid’s got good aimSi en cupido hay puntería
With his arrow, he’d shoot himCon su flecha lo metía
Into the federal rangeEn el tiro federal

She wakes up earlierSe levanta más temprano
Than when she was singleQue en los tiempos de soltera
And doesn’t listen to soap operasY no escucha más novelas
That make her sigh anymoreQue la hagan suspirar

Today she sighs in the kitchenHoy suspira en la cocina
As she hangs up the ladleAl colgar la espumadera
And she really goes for itY se manda bien al mango
When she has to waxCuando tiene que encerar

She doesn’t stroll by the windowsYa no va por las vidrieras
To check out the latest stylesA mirar los modelitos
And she’s turned the civil dressY le ha dado cuatro vueltas
Around four times nowAl vestido de civil

So watch out, my lionessesCon que atenti leonas mías
When fishing for a husbandAl pescar el maridito
Because these days you catchPorque hoy sale cada bagre
Some real losers, even a loser dog.Que se morfa hasta el piolín
