La edad de la mujer
La mujer que a los veinte está soltera
es porque se ha caído de la azotea.
La mujer que a los treinta no tiene novio
es porque le ha puesto llave al escritorio.
(Esta tona' me la enseñó una tía mía
que me decía: "la esperanza
es lo ultimo que se pierde"...
Y murió soltera fíjense.)
La mujer que a los cuarenta no se ha casao
es porque tiene el cuarto desalojao.
La mujer que a los cincuenta quiere estar sola
es que se le ha enfriado la cacerola.
The Age of Women
The woman who's single at twenty
It's because she fell off the roof.
The woman who's thirty and has no boyfriend
It's because she locked her desk.
(This lesson was taught to me by an aunt of mine
Who used to say: 'hope
Is the last thing you lose'...
And she died single, imagine that.)
The woman who's forty and not married
It's because her room is empty.
The woman who's fifty and wants to be alone
It's because her pot has cooled down.
