Bendita Suerte

Blessed Luck

Bendita Suerte

A couple with social distinctionUna pareja que con distingo social
They fall in love in the best waySe llegan a enamorar de la mejor manera
She forgets that her family is realElla se olvida de que su familia es real
And he too can hardly forget itY él también a duras penas lo logra olvidar

A girl with green eyesUna muchacha de unos ojos verdes
With a boy with curly hairCon un muchacho de un pelo rizado
She who lives there in a cool neighborhoodElla que vive allá en un barrio chévere
Instead he lives in a remote neighborhoodEn cambio el vive en un barrio apartado

The boy lived excitedEmocionado vivía el muchacho
One day he came to school drunkQue un día borracho llegó al colegio
He came saying he was getting marriedLlegó diciendo que se casaba
And the word spread throughout the townY se regó la bola en el pueblo

And it is natural that the interested partyY es natural que el interesado
He's the last to knowEs el último en saberlo
The school principal arrivedLlegó el rector del colegio
And I would notify her fatherY al padre de ella avisaría

And then I would just cryY entonces yo solo lloraría
Knowing how far they would send herSaber que lejos la mandarían

And he left for abroadY se marchó pal' extranjero
Saying that he would writeDiciendo que escribiría
Oh, lie!¡Ay, mentira!

Because the postman still comes to my housePorque a mi casa aún el cartero
It hasn't arrived yetNo ha llegado todavía
And it doesn't even arrive!¡Y ni llega!

Because they told me that to your housePorque me han dicho que a su casa
She writes every dayElla escribe todos los días

And blessed is my luck, oh blessed is my luckY bendita suerte la mía, ay bendita suerte la mía

I stepped on thorns, my heart was brokenPisaba espinas, destrozado el corazón
Well he made the decision to go see her one dayBien tomó la decisión para ir a verla un día
He boarded a cruise ship as a stowawayDe polizón en un crucero se embarcó
Without leaving the direction where he was goingSin dejar la dirección donde se dirigía

And so he arrived at the promised landY así llegó a la tierra prometida
He knocked on the door where she livedTocó a la puerta donde ella viviera
And they said to him, yes sir, if he livesY le dijeron si señor, si habita
What can I do for you? I'm her boyfriend¿Qué se le ofrece? Soy el novio de ella

And it fell on him like a cold dropY le cayó como una gota fría
Because the ex-girlfriend came out with the voicesPorque a las voces salió la exnovia
And seeing him sad he only saidY al verlo triste solo decía
May God keep you good personQue Dios te guarde buena persona
There's a reason I didn't write to youPor algo no te escribía

And from his finger he took out the ring that he had been thinking aboutY de su dedo sacó el anillo que le llevaba pensando
Cover the lack of thatCubrir la falta de aquello
That was still a secretQue era un secreto todavía
The boy with a hangover diesSe muere el muchacho de guayabo
Who would have thought that it would be like this?Quien iba a pensar que así sería

No more words and an endingNo más palabras y un final
Only the conscience spokeSolo hablaba la conciencia
Oh, patience!¡Ay, paciencia!
It was the phrase that his old lady often stressed to himEra la frase que a menudo le recalcaba su vieja
And they countY cuentan
That now in the village he is calmQue ahora en el pueblo él tá' tranquilo
And she is the one who remembers itY ella es la que lo recuerda

And blessed is my luck, blessed is my luckY bendita suerte la mía, bendita suerte la mía
