The page contains the lyrics and English translation of the song "Por Dignidad" by Joan Manuel Serrat.
Lyrics
La familia, los amigos
Aguardan con impaciencia
Que por dignidad la saque
De la casa con violencia
Apenados me contemplan
O sonríen con desprecio
Se les nota que sospechan
Que sé cuanto saben ellos
Y lo sé, lo supe siempre
Que se acuesta con cualquiera
Y ellos piensan que, eso, un hombre
Como o tal, no lo tolera
Pero es simple, toda hembra
Quiere a hombres diferentes
Y a diferentes mujeres
Quiere el hombre, es lo corriente
Qué me importa
Que en un cuarto
Otros encuentren amparo
Siempre y cuando lo precise
Lo halle desocupado
No renuncio a la delicia
De tenerla sugerente
En mi cama cada noche
Por prejuicios de otra gente
La familia, los amigos
Me presionan a diario
No me queda otro remedio
Que mudarme de este barrio
Lyrics translation
Family, friends
They wait impatiently
That out of dignity I take her out
Of the house with violence
They look at me in sorrow
Or smile with contempt
You can tell they're suspicious.
That I know how much they know
And I know, I always knew.
Who sleeps with anyone
And they think that, that, a man
As such, he does not tolerate it
But it's simple, all female
She wants different men
And different women
He wants the man, it's the usual thing
What do I care
That in a room
Others find shelter
As long as you need it
I found him unoccupied.
I don't give up on the delight
To have it suggestive
In my bed every night
Because of other people's prejudices
Family, friends
They Press me every day.
I have no choice.
To move out of this neighborhood
