The Curtain

La Cortina

This girl told meEsta muchacha me dijo
That her mom gave her adviceQue la mama le dio un consejo
The day she wants to get marriedEl día que quiera casarse
To marry an old manQue se case con un viejo

This girl told meEsta muchacha me dijo
That her mom gave her adviceQue la mama le dio un consejo
The day she wants to get marriedEl día que quiera casarse
To marry an old manQue se case con un viejo

Because the old man, when he goes outPorque el viejo si va a la calle
Brings me guava, brings me appleMe trae guayaba, me trae manzana
When he returns, he comes tiredCuando regresa, viene estropeado
He comes tired and falls asleep right awayViene cansado y echa a dormir enseguida
But the young man goes out partyingPero el joven se va de rumba
Doesn't bring me anything, comes home drunk at midnightNo me trae nada, a media noche viene borracho
And being the lad he is, he barely arrivesY como es el chacho, apenas llega

It's lifting the curtainEs levantando la cortina
Oh! It's lifting the curtain¡Ay! Es levantando la cortina
It's lifting the curtainEs levantando la cortina

It's lifting the curtainEs levantando la cortina
Oh! It's lifting the curtain¡Ay! Es levantando la cortina
It's lifting the curtainEs levantando la cortina

Even if people talkAunque la gente comente
The young lady told meMe dijo la señorita
If I marry an old manSi me caso con un viejo
Itch with pleasure doesn't biteSarna con gusto no pica
Itch with pleasure doesn't biteSarna con gusto no pica
If it bites, it bothers himSi pica, lo mortifica
That's what the young lady told meFue la frase que me dijo
Pity the young ladyLástima la señorita

Because the old man takes me to the moviesPorque el viejo me lleva al cine
If he goes to a party, he takes me tooSi va a la fiesta, también me lleva
If he drinks, he comes back dizzy andSi toma trago, viene mareado y
When he returns, he falls asleep right awayCuando regresa, echa a dormir enseguida
But the other one is the oppositePero el otro es a lo contrario
If he goes to a party, he never takes meSi va a la fiesta, nunca me lleva
This honeymoon we're havingEsa luna de miel que estamos pasando
Being the lad he is, he barely arrivesComo es el chacho, apenas llega

It's lifting the curtainEs levantando la cortina
Oh! It's lifting the curtain¡Ay! Es levantando la cortina
It's lifting the curtainEs levantando la cortina

It's lifting the curtainEs levantando la cortina
Oh! It's lifting the curtain¡Ay! Es levantando la cortina
