The Ford's Girl

La mina del Ford

I want a houseYo quiero un cotorro
that has balconies,que tenga balcones,
very long curtainscortinas muy largas
of crepe silk...de seda crepé...
Watching the rich guysMirar los bacanes
passing by in droves,pasando a montones,
to see if any crookpa' ver si algún reo
tells me: What's up!...me dice: ¡Qué hacé!...

I want a houseYo quiero un cotorro
with waxed floors,con piso encerado,
that has a little carpetque tenga alfombrita
to walk on;para caminar;
leather armchairssillones de cuero
all embossedtodo repujado
and a cheeky parroty un loro atorrante
that knows how to sing...que sepa cantar...

I want a bedYo quiero una cama
with a quilt...que tenga acolchado...
And I want a stoveY quiero una estufa
to warm up...pa' entrar en calor...
The servant comesQue venga el mucamo
running in a hurrycorriendo apurado
and says: Madam!y diga: ¡Señora!
Look! The Ford is here...¡Araca! Está el Ford...
