Los Hombres Pa’ Las Mujeres

I am a conscious black womanSoy una negra consiente
Affectionate and daringCariñosa y atrevida
But I clearly understandPero entiendo claramente
The issues of lifeLas cuestiones de la vida
I always hear commentsSiempre escucho comentarios
From some of my friendsDe algunas de mis amigas
That my husband is I don't know whatQue mi mario es no sé que
That my boyfriend, if you say soQue mi novio si se diga
That they are all cutQue son cortados toditos
By a single measurePor una sola medida

Fall on me if you wantCáiganme arriba si quieren
If I get defensiveSi salgo a la defensiva
For a man I give everythingPor un hombre entrego todo
All of my lifeToda todita mi vida
Even if he has been marriedAunque haya estado casado
Those things don't intrigue meEsas cosas no me intrigan
As long as he loves me a lotCon tal que me quiera mucho
And makes me his favoriteY me haga su consentida

For a man I came into the worldPor un hombre vine al mundo
And a man brought me to this lifeY un hombre traje a esta vida
God and man on this earthDios y hombre en esta tierra
That's what the Bible saysAsí lo dice la biblia
Other fellow singersOtras colegas cantantes
I don't know why they criticizeYo no sé porque les tiran
I am a woman and I have oneSoy mujer y tengo uno
He loves me, wants me, and spoils meMe ama me quiere y me mima

That there are scoundrel menDe que hallan hombres canallas
That's true, my friendsEso es cierto mis amigas
Just as there are womenComo también hay mujeres
With amusing habitsCon costumbres divertidas
That they are all the sameDe que todos sean iguales
That's what tires meEso es lo que me fatiga
But I defend minePero yo defiendo el mío
And may God bless meY que Dios me lo bendiga
He gives me what I wantQue me da lo que yo quiero
In a very fulfilling wayDe una forma muy cumplida

So much is said about themTanto que se habla de ellos
And so much they fascinate usY tanto que nos fascinan
It's okay if they get upsetEstá bien que se molesten
But don't contradict themselvesPero o se contradigan
Yesterday afternoon came RosaAyer tarde vino Rosa
Carmencita and JosefinaCarmencita y Josefina
Mistreating and cursingMaltratando y maldiciendo
The fathers of their daughtersA los padres de sus hijas

Men for womenLos hombres pa’ las mujeres
That's the law of lifeEsa es la ley de la vida
To live happilyPara vivir feliz mente
Whoever thinks like that can follow meQuien piense así que me siga
I won't change my mindNo cambiare de opinión
No matter what they sayA un que digan lo que digan
Let all men liveQue vivan todos los hombres
I defend them as long as I liveLos defiendo mientras viva
