Las Gallinas Cacaraquean

The Hens Cluck

Las Gallinas Cacaraquean

Gentlemen have no memoryLos caballeros no tienen memoria
Nor speak ill of womenNi hablan mal de las mujeres
Better to stay silentMejor quedarse callados
Enjoy their pleasuresDisfrutar de sus placeres
After all, what will you gainTotal ¿que vas a ganar
If you talk about how many you have?Si platicas cuantas tienes?

Women have no ageLas mujeres no tienen edad
Don't ask them about itNo les preguntes por ella
Don't make them feel badNo hagas que se sientan mal
For their beauty is eternalPues su belleza es eterna
And the caresses they gave youY las caricias que te dieron
Now may be someone else'sAhora tal vez son ajenas

The roosters can be heard singingLos gallos se oyen cantar
The hens cluckLas gallinas cacaraquean
If you speak ill of a womanSi hablas mal de una mujer
Tell me which one you areDime entre cuales te encuentras
My grandfather jumped the coopMi abuelo brinco el corral
Of henhouses with ownersDe gallineros con dueños
But he didn't cluckPero no cacaraqueo
He died with his secretSe murió con su secreto

If they come to ask youSi te vienen a preguntar
Bad things about one of themCosas malas de una de ellas
Tell them you don't know herDile que no la conoces
Tell them you don't remember herDile que no la recuerdas

The roosters can be heard singingLos gallos se oyen cantar
The hens cluckLas gallinas cacaraquean
If you speak ill of a womanSi hablas mal de una mujer
Tell me which one you areDime entre cuales te encuentras
My grandfather jumped the coopMi abuelo brinco el corral
Of henhouses with ownersDe gallineros con dueños
But he didn't cluckPero no cacaraqueo
He died with his secretSe murió con su secreto

The roosters can be heard singingLos gallos se oyen cantar
The hens cluckLas gallinas cacaraquean
