La Escobita

The Little Broom

La Escobita

To make them die of envyPara que se mueran de envidia
Here I am againAquí estoy otra vez

I've already been told thereYa me han dicho por ahí
That you were cheating on meQue me estabas engañando
While I was awayMientras que yo estaba lejos
You were hesitatingTú te ibas vacilando
With the person you least imagineCon quien menos te imaginas
Go see your husbandAnda velo a tu marido
With all of them he has sweptCon toditas ha barrido
And they call it the little broomY le dicen la escobita

Oh, what am I going to do?Ay que le voy a hacer
To this man who believes himself to be a worldly heartthrobA este hombre que se cree un galán del mundo
If I was with my neighborSi estaba con mi vecina
With my sister, with my cousinCon mi hermana, con mi prima
With my friend, my nieceCon mi amiga, mi sobrina
And I even think that with the vetoY hasta creo que con la vedo

Oh, what am I going to do?Ay que le voy a hacer

If I was with my neighborSi estaba con mi vecina

And for all the girls, be careful with the broomsY para todas las muchachas tengan cuidado con las escobitas
There are loads of them out thereAy a montones por ahí

When I went to the marketCuando me fui al mercado
Everyone was looking at meTodo el mundo me miraba
Here is the cuckoldAquí está ya la cornuda
So everyone was murmuringAsí todos murmuraban
Immediately a neighborDe inmediato una vecina
He brought me up to date with everythingMe puso al tanto de todo
With all of them he has sweptCon toditas ha barrido
Your husband the broomTu marido la escobita

Oh, what am I going to do?Ay que le voy a hacer
To this man who believes himself to be a worldly heartthrobA este hombre que se cree un galán del mundo
If I was wearing the skirtSi estaba con la pollera
With the baker auntCon la tía panadera
With the vegetable flatCon la chata verdulera
With the fat tamale sellerCon la gorda tamalera
