The Guarapera

La Guarapera

They already told me, mommy, that your heartbreak is deepYa me contaron mamita que tu despecho es hondo
That you look all redQue se te ve carimonja
RegretfulArrepentida

That throwing me out into the streetQue haberme echado pa’ la calle
Has brought you tortureTe ha procurado tortura
That you spend your time cryingQue te la pasas llorando
That you speak in rhymeQue vives hablando en rima

They told me, sweetieMe lo contaron bizcocho
That you cut your hair offQue te cortaste hasta el moño
That you sold the curtainsQue vendiste las cortinas

That the hard pain of my absence drove you crazyQue el duro mal de mi ausencia te despertó la locura
That even though the blankets were mineQue siendo mías las cobijas
You lost them in a betTú las perdiste en un empeño
You lost them in a betLas perdiste en un empeño
By getting into the guaraperaPor meterte a guarapera

The washing machine?¿La lavadora?
Keep that pot for yourselfQuédese con ese tiesto
I wash my clothes by handMis trapos los lavo a pulso
Not even if the donkey were lameNi manco que el burro fuera

Don't forget that in that applianceEso sí no se le olvide que en ese electrodoméstico
I invested my best salaryYo invertí mi mejor sueldo
That I carried it from the store to the house on my backQue lo llevé a las costillas del almacén a la casa
That I love it like a childQue lo quiero como a un hijo
Because we didn't have a dogPorque no teníamos perro

Sell whatever you want!¡Venda todo lo que quiera!
Drink up the whole house!¡Bébase la casa entera!

The washing machine? Huh!¿La lavadora? ¡Jum!
Well, I'll buy it twice!¡Pues me la compro dos veces!
I already went to the women's bankYa fui al banco’e la mujer
And they approved my loanY ya me aprobaron préstamo

Drink up to the bone in guarapoBébase hasta el sieso en guarapo
Drink up to the bone in guarapoBébase hasta el sieso en guarapo
Oh!¡Oh!

Drink up to the bone in guarapoBébase hasta el sieso en guarapo

Oh!¡Oh!
