Lyrics

Cuando llegó era un niño delicado
No quería mancharse
Jugando en el descampado
Era un tipo legal
Un amigo, un aliado
Había vivido arrogante
Aquel error inocente
Llevar en cuerpo de hombre
Una mujer en su mente
Él un hombre tranquilo
Ella una dama valiente
Oh! Manuel Raquel
Manuel Raquel
No aguantó siquiera el primer invierno
Volando sobre un tacón
De las redadas huyendo
La última vez que le vi
Nos fuimos a emborrachar
Debajo del maquillaje no pudo disimular
Un cierto pudor antiguo
Al fin un poco de paz
Quiso volar y saltó
No pude llegar a tiempo
Las lágrimas sin dolor
Me las ha arrancado el viento
Se fue sin decir adiós
Sin un grito, ni un lamento
Creo que iba contento
Manuel Raquel
No aguantó siquiera el primer invierno
La detuvieron mil veces
La pobre se fue rompiendo
Es muy difícil pasear
De incógnito en el infierno
Oh! Manuel, oh! Raquel
Se marchó
Es sólo una baja más

Lyrics translation

When he arrived he was a delicate child
He didn't want to get dirty.
Playing in the open
He was a legal guy.
A friend, an ally
Had lived arrogant
That innocent mistake
Wear on man's body
A woman in your mind
He a quiet man
She a brave lady
Oh! Manuel Raquel
Manuel Raquel
He couldn't stand even the first Winter
Flying on a heel
From the raids fleeing
Last time I saw him
We went to get drunk.
Under the makeup could not disguise
A certain old modesty
At last a little peace
He wanted to fly and jumped
I couldn't make it in time.
Tears without pain
The wind ripped them out of me.
He left without saying goodbye
Without a cry, not a lament
I think he was happy.
Manuel Raquel
He couldn't stand even the first Winter
They stopped her a thousand times.
Poor thing broke up.
It is very difficult to walk
Incognito in hell
Oh! Manuel, Oh! Raquel
He left.
It's just one more low
