La Verdolaga

The Purslane

La Verdolaga

Oh, the one who to womenAy, de aquel que a las mujeres
Gives them love and moneyLes da el amor y el dinero
When they least expect itCuando menos se lo piensan
Ends up with nothing.Se queda en el cuero

That's why I live as a wandererPor eso yo vivo errante
Without trusting in women,Sin confiar en la mujer
Little moments of affection,Cariñitos de un instante
And never see them again.Y no volverlos a ver

That's why I live as a wanderer...Por eso yo vivo errante

There's no need to be committedNo hay que estar comprometidos
In matters of loveEn las cosas del querer
Single or with a husbandSolteras o con marido
A woman is always good.Siempre es buena la mujer

Even if you see me as innocentAunque me veas inocente
In matters of love,En las cosas del amor
I don't like the ordinaryNo me gusta lo corriente
I consume the best.Consumo de lo mejor

Even if you see me as innocent...Aunque me veas inocente

The most beautiful lovesLos amores más bonitos
Are like the purslaneSon como la verdolaga
Just give them a littleNomás le pones tantito
And they grow like a plague.Y crecen como una plaga

And you have another advantageY tienes otra ventaja
If you cultivate that love,Si cultivas ese amor
That when it's over for youQue cuando ya se te pasa
With one pull, it's done.Con un jalón se acabó

And you have another advantage...Y tienes otra ventaja
