Amarraditos

Tied Up

Amarraditos

Let's both be tied togetherVamos amarraditos los dos
Foams and velvetEspumas y terciopelo
Me with a crunch of starchYo con un recrujir de almidón
And you, serious and haughtyY tú, serio y altanero

People look at us with envy on the streetLa gente nos mira con envidia por la calle
The neighbors murmurMurmuran los vecinos
Friends and the mayorLos amigos y el alcalde
They say it's not in style anymoreDicen que no se estila ya más
Neither my comb, nor my barretteNi mi peinetón, ni mi pasador

They say it's not fashionable, no, noDicen que no se estila, no, no
Neither my medallion nor your beltNi mi medallón ni tu cinturón
I know that they are styledYo sé que se estilan
Your big eyes and my prideTus ojazos y mi orgullo
When I go on your armCuando voy de tu brazo
For the sun and without rushPor el sol y sin apuro

Our coachman is waiting for us in front of the main churchNos espera nuestro cochero frente a la iglesia mayor
And at a slow trot, we walk the walkY a trotecito lento, recorremos el paseo
You greet by touching the brim of your hat betterTú saludas tocando el ala de tu sombrero mejor
And I wave my handkerchief with graceY yo agito con donaire mi pañuelo

It's not fashionable, I know it's not fashionableNo se estila, ya sé que no se estila
What to wear for dinnerQue te pongas para cenar
Jasmine in the buttonholeJazmines en el ojal
It certainly looks like a gameDesde luego parece un juego
But there is nothing betterPero no hay nada mejor
Than to be a gentleman of thoseQue ser un señor de aquellos
What did my grandparents see?Que vieron mis abuelos
