Lyrics

Ese hombre que tu tienes no estan en nada
que en vez de enamorarte te desgasta, no tiene bueno modales, y no es atento contigo
ese hombre no se merece que le des tanto
cariño.
El duerme en la mañana y tu trabajas, y luego
por las noches se te escapa, te exige que tu le laves
que lo vistas y lo planches, y si a caso tu protestas
se indigna y quiere pegarte.
que le den candela, ay que le den castigo, que lo metan en una holla y que se cocine en su vino
que le den candela, que le den castigo que lo borden
de una cometa y que luego corten el hilo (azucar, azucar)
Ese hombre que tu tienes buena amiga, si yo fuera
tu le dejaria, las maletas en la puerta y una nota que dijera
apartir de este momento que te cocine tu abuela.
que le den candela, ay que le den castigo, que lo metan en una holla y que se cocine en su vino
que le den candela, que le den castigo que lo borden
de una cometa y que luego corten el hilo.

Lyrics translation

That man you have isn't in anything.
that instead of falling in love wears you out, he has no good manners, and is not attentive to you
that man doesn't deserve to be given so much
affection.
He sleeps in the morning and you work, and then
at night it escapes you, demands you wash it
that you dress it and iron it, and if by chance you protest
he's indignant and he wants to hit you.
let them give him a candle, and let them punish him, and let them put him in a hole, and let him cook in his wine.
let them give him a candle, let them give him a chastisement, let them Border him
and then cut the thread (Sugar, Sugar)
That man you have a good friend, if I were
you would leave him, the bags at the door and a note to say
from this moment on, let your grandmother cook for you.
let them give him a candle, and let them punish him, and let them put him in a hole, and let him cook in his wine.
let them give him a candle, let them give him a chastisement, let them Border him
from a kite and then cut the thread.
