La Cortina

The Curtain

La Cortina

This girl told me, that her mom gave her advice,Esta muchacha me dijo, que la mama le dio un consejo,
The day she wants to get married, to marry an old man.El dia que quiera casarse, que se case con un viejo.
Because the old man if he goes out, brings me guavas, brings me apples,Porque el viejo si va a la calle, me traé guanava, me traé manzanas,
When he returns he comes tired, comes exhausted, and goes to sleep right away.Cuando regresa viene estropado, viene canzado, y es a dormir en segida.
But the young man goes out partying, doesn't bring me anything, at midnight he comes drunk,Pero el joven se va de rumba, no me traé nada, a media noche viene boracho,
As soon as he arrives, he's lifting the curtain.Como es el chacho a penas llega, es levantando la cortina.
Oh, he's lifting the curtain, he's lifting the curtain,Ay, es levantando la cortina, es levantando la cortina,
He's lifting the curtain, oh, he's lifting the curtainEs levantando la cortina, ay, es levantando la cortina

Margarita, will you marry me?Margarita, te casas conmigo?"
Yes, my dear old man, the most handsome, if you take me to dance withSi mi viejito lindo, mas lindo, si me llevas a bailar con la
Sonora Dynamite.Sonora dinamita."
Oh, okay.A bueno."

Even if people comment, the young lady told me,Aunque la gente comente, me dijo la señorita,
If I marry an old man, itch with pleasure doesn't stingSi me caso con un viejo, sarna con gusto no pica
Itch with pleasure doesn't sting, if it stings it doesn't botherSarna con gusto no pica, si pica no mortifica
It was the prose she told me, pity the young lady.Fue la prose que me dijo, lastima la señorita.
Because the old man takes me to the movies, if he goes to the party he takes me too,Porque el viejo me lleva al cine, si va a la fiesta tambien me lleva,
If he drinks he gets drunk, when he comes back, he goes to sleep right away.Si toma trago viene mariado, cuando regresa, es a dormir ensiguida.
But the other one is the opposite, if he goes to the party he never takes me, if on ourPero el otro es a lo contrario, si va a la fiesta nunca me lleva, si en luna
Honeymoon that we're spending like this guy barely arrives, he's lifting the'miel que estamos pasando como este chacho apenas llega, es levantando la
Curtain.Cortina.
Oh, he's lifting the curtain, he's lifting the curtain,Ay, es levantando la cortina, es levantando la cortina,
Oh, he's lifting the curtain, he's lifting the curtain, oh...Ay, es levantando la cortina, es levantando la cortina, ay...
