La Tigra Del Caserio

If you think you're my dadSi crees que eres mi papá
Just because I married youPorque me case contigo
You're more than confusedEstás más que confundido
And stop scolding meY no me este regañando
Every time you feel like itCada vez que te den ganas
Because you haven't given birthPorque es que usted no ha parido
To a daughter to giveUna hija para darle
Abuse and beatings regularlyMaltrato y palo seguido

On the other hand, I demandPor otra parte te exijo
That you stop makingQue a mí no me este poniendo
Faces and twisted lips at meCaras ni picos torcidos
Because I don't owe you anythingPorque yo a ti no te debo
You owe meTu si me debes a mi
For all the time I've livedTodo el tiempo que he vivido
As a servant without payCómo sirvienta sin sueldo
To earn your last namePa ganarme tu apellido

Don't treat me badlyC mí no me trate mal
I've already warned youYa se lo tengo advertido
Because if I charged youPorque si yo le cobrara
For the years I've servedLos años que te he servido
The farm, the car, the houseLa finca, el carro, la casa
Livestock, boat, and shackGanado lancha y bohio
Plus the money you haveMás el dinero que tienes
Would all be in my namePasarían a nombre mío

As for the liquor, it doesn't matterPor aguardiente no importa
If you want to drown in a riverSi quiere jartese un río
But don't come backPero no vuelva a llegar
To my house at dawnC mi casa amanecido
Because I'll send you backPorque lo hago regresar
The same way you camePor dónde mismo a venido
A bird that sleeps outsidePájaro que duerme afuera
Has eaten in the streetEs que en la calle ah comido
What’s good for the turkeyLo que es bueno para el pavo
Is good for the henEs bueno para la pava
It's clear and understoodEstá claro y entendido
Like it or notGustele a usted o no te guste
Behave yourself, partnerPórtese bien compañero
Don't provoke a challengeNo provoque un desafío
Because it might bring outPorque te puede salir
The devil for being boldEl diablo por atrevido

If you think you bought meSi piensas que me compraste
Or that I'm your slaveO que soy esclava tuya
Don't even believe it in your sleepNo te lo creas ni dormido
And that verbal abuseY ese maltrato verbal
That you give me for no reasonQue tú me das sin motivos
Has me hurting insideMe tiene el pecho dolido
You better straighten upMás bien ande derechito
Because I have you measuredPorque te tengo medido

Despite your selfishnessC pesar de tu egoísmo
As a wife, I've fulfilledComo esposa te he cumplido
If I've changed, it's your faultSi he cambiado es por tu culpa
You deserve it wellLo tienes bien merecido
And don't be jealous of meY a mi no me este celando
Or leaning on other menNi recostando maridos
If you don't trust meSi tu no confías en mí
I don't trust you eitherYo en ti tampoco confío

Another one graduatesOtra más que se gradua
As a tough girl in my townDe cuaima en el pueblo mío
Cry all you want to knowChora sí vas a saber
That this woman has spiritQue está hembra tiene brío
Be careful if you cut itMucho cuidado si lo corta
The edge of my sharpnessEl filo e mi gurrufio
From here on out, they call meDe aquí pa lante me llaman
