Yo Quiero Ser Tu Marido

I Want to Be Your Husband

Yo Quiero Ser Tu Marido

One day I was drinkingUn día estaba tomando
Inside a barAdentro de una cantina
When that lady arrivedCuando llego aquella dama
In white and very slimDe blanco y muy delgadita
I said come with meLe dije venga conmigo
To have a drinkA tomarse una copita

I asked her what she drankLe pregunte que tomaba
Beer or strong wineCerveza o vino del fuerte
She replied whateverMe contesto lo que sea
After all, I am deathAl fin que yo soy la muerte
And don't try to fool meY no quieras vacilarme
I just came to pick you upNomás vengo a recogerte

I said: Since that's what you wantLe dije: Ya que eso quieres
I don't care about lifeNada me importa la vida
Because of womenPor culpa de la mujeres
I want to drown in drinkQuiero ahogarme en la bebida
Accompany me tonightAcompáñame esta noche
Then you can take my lifeLuego te llevas mi vida

Seeing how sad I wasAl ver lo triste que estaba
She said I regretMe dijo yo me arrepiento
I will ask for your lifeVoy a pedir por tu vida
So you can keep livingPara que sigas viviendo
Those who suffer for loveLos que sufren por amores
Should keep on livingDeben de seguir viviendo

I said: Don't be ungratefulLe dije: No seas ingrata
I was always a good friendYo siempre fui buen amigo
If you don't want to kill meSi es que no quieres matarme
I want to be your husbandYo quiero ser tu marido
Or at least serve youO por lo menos servirte
As your most faithful friendComo tu más fiel amigo

She said goodbyeMe dijo de despedida
For me, love doesn't existPara mi el amor no existe
Death has no friendsLa muerte no tiene amigos
Nor does it have anyone to bless itNi tiene quien la bendiga
Here you stay aloneAquí te quedas solito
Let life punish youQue te castigue la vida
