Lyrics

Esta tarde te vi,
nerviosa de esperar
Por eso me vestí, apenas sin hablar
Hoy hace un año ya, que alegre y sin dudar
De blanco te lleve, ante el juez del lugar.
He mirado el reloj, las ocho van a ser
Tu traje no llego, lo esperas desde ayer
Y el moño que lucir, pretendes hoy mujer
Con tanto ir y venir, termino por caer.
Corres vienes y vas, por medio del salón
Te enciendes más y mas, lo mismo que un ciclón
Y no sabes que hacer, si reír o llorar
Yo cumplo mi deber, yo debo de callar.
No querrás pretender, que aguarde la función
Y no podremos ver, ni un acto de malón
Tomando sin tardar, en vuelo un avión
Podríamos llegar, al bajar el telón.
Buen Aniversario, buen Aniversario.
El vestido llegó, ya puedes respirar
También respiro yo, a punto de estallar
Mas pronto comenzó, un drama singular
Tu traje no cerró, y te oi sollozar.
A tu espalda corrí, con ganas de ayudar
Tan pálida te vi, como una flor de azar
Y el cierre descorrí, mas luego al intentar
Cerrarlo lo partí, ay de mi por piedad
A las once por fin, cocido el desgarrón
Pareces un jazmín envuelta en el bizón
Tratamos de alcanzar un acto de malón
Tan justo que al llegar, termina la función.
Donde quieres cenar, muy triste te pedí
Tardaste en constestar, diciendo luego así
Prefiero caminar, contigo por París
y luego regresar para ser muy feliz
Buen aniversario, buen aniversario
buen aniversario

Lyrics translation

I saw you this afternoon.,
nervous to wait
That's why I dressed, barely speaking
Today a year ago already, that joyful and without hesitation
I took you in white, before the local judge.
I looked at the clock, eight is going to be
Your suit hasn't arrived. you've been waiting for it since yesterday.
And the bow you wear, you pretend today Woman
With so much coming and going, I end up falling.
You run you come and go, through the living room
You light up more and more, just like a cyclone
And you don't know what to do, whether to laugh or cry
I do my duty, I must shut up.
You don't want to pretend to wait for the function
And we won't be able to see, not one act of Malon
Taking without delay, in flight an airplane
We could get there by the curtain.
Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary.
The dress is here, you can breathe now
I breathe too, about to burst
But soon began, a singular drama
Your suit didn't close, and I heard you sobbing.
I ran to your back, wanting to help
So pale I saw you, like a flower of chance
And the closure broke out, but then when I tried
Close it I broke it, woe to me for pity
At Eleven at last, cooked the tear
You look like a jasmine wrapped in Buffalo
We are trying to achieve an act of Malon
So right that when you arrive, the show ends.
Where do you want to have dinner, very sad I asked you
It took you long to constest, saying then like this
I'd rather walk, with you in Paris
and then come back to be very happy
Happy Anniversary, Happy Anniversary
Happy Anniversary
