Lyrics
Mi primera mujer era una arpía
Pero, muchacho
El punto del gazpacho
Joder si lo tenía
Se llamaba… digamos que Sofía
Un mal día
Me puso las maletas
A los pies de la estatua, de un poeta
Que esta, inmortalizado
En su glorieta
Después de, no se asombren
Registrar, a su nombre
Mi chalet adosado
Mi visa, mi pasado
Su prisa y su futuro
Dejándome tirado
Y sin un duro
La gota que colmó
Damas y caballeros
El vaso de su amor
Fue de colesterol
Harto, tras dos infartos
De acercarme al tercero…
Al sístole y al diástole
De mi corazón
Le puse un marcapasos
Que andaba con retraso
Haciendo interferencias
En la frecuencia
Del televisor
Desde que la perdí
Hasta hoy, pobre de mí
Cada vez más borracho
Ruedo de mostrador
En mostrador:
Jefe: ¿tienen gazpacho?
Pero… qué hermosa era
Cuando iba de mi brazo por la acera
¿ustedes me han mirado?
Pedirle a ese bombón que me quisiera
¿no les parece que era
Pedirle demasiado?
Mi segunda mujer
Era una bruja
Y yo, tan mamarracho, que besaba
El suelo que pisaba
Se llamaba… digamos que Maruja
Aquel día
Volví pronto del tajo
Y, en mi cama
Debajo
De un idiota
Una dama
En pelotas
Se lo hacía
Y yo que nunca había
Estado en una orgía
Quitándome las botas
Me dije: «ésta es la mía»
Y tanto que lo era
La del tacón de aguja
Era Maruja
«Entre ese idiota y yo
Cual Júpiter tronante
Tú eliges» dije yo
¿que qué me contestó?
Sin dudarlo un instante
«me voy con el idiota»
Y ustedes, que creían
Que el idiota era yo
Pues no
La muy pendón
Se iba y se venía
Poniéndose las botas
Con el menos idiota
De los dos
Y ¿saben qué les digo?
Aquel idiota y yo
Nos hicimos amigos
El día que Maruja nos dejó…
Por otro idiota
Pero… qué hermosas eran
Mi segunda mujer y la primera
¿Ustedes me han mirado?
Pedirles, además, que me quisieran
¿no les parece que era
Pedirles demasiado?
Mi tercera mujer era, señores
De todos los amores
Que he perdido
El que más me ha dolido
¿adivinan? Se llamaba Dolores
Pero, el día
De mi cumple, mi amorcito
Me dijo: «Aunque eres malo
Joaquinito
Te traigo, de regalo
Un regalito»
Con su santa inconsciencia
Se declaró en estado
Y yo, que había jurado
Morir sin descendencia
Como murió mi padre
A la futura madre
Consternado:
«¡Hay dolores que matan!»
Le grité dolorido
«¿Y no se te ha ocurrido
Pensar que tu marido
Hubiera preferido
Otra corbata?»
Fue niña, niña pija
¡ni siquiera varón!
Por fin, con veinte años
Se la llevó un extraño
Y no perdí una hija
Gané un cuarto de baño
¡Con perdón!
Sofía me aliñaba
Maruja me adornó
Ya solo me faltaba
Tomar clases de parto sin dolor
Y con Dolores
Pero… qué hermosas eran las tres
Y, sobre todo, la tercera
¿Ustedes me han mirado?
Pedirles, además, que me quisieran
¿No les parece que era
Pedirles demasiado?
Lyrics translation
My first wife was a harpy
But, boy
The point of the gazpacho
Fuck if I had it.
Her name was... let's just say Sofia
A bad day
He packed my bags.
At the foot of the statue, of a poet
That this, immortalized
In his gazebo
After, do not be surprised
Register, in your name
My townhouse
My visa, my past
Your rush and your future
Leaving me lying down
And without a hard
The drop that filled
Ladies and gentlemen
The glass of his love
It was cholesterol.
Tired, after two heart attacks
To approach the third…
To systole and diastole
From my heart
I put a pacemaker on it.
That he was late
Making interference
On frequency
Of the TV
Ever since I lost her
Till today, poor me
Increasingly drunk
Counter wheel
On counter:
Boss: do you have gazpacho?
But ... how beautiful she was
When I was on my arm on the sidewalk
have you guys looked at me?
Ask that cutie to love me
don't you think it was
Asking too much?
My second wife
She was a witch
And I, so big-mouthed, kissed
The ground I was stepping on
It was called... Let's say Maruja
That day
I came back soon from the Tagus
And, in my bed
Below
From an idiot
Lady
In balls
I used to.
And I never had
State in an orgy
Taking off my boots
I said to myself, "This Is Mine.»
And so much so that it was
The one with the stiletto heel
It Was Maruja
"Between that idiot and me
Like Jupiter thundering
You choose, " I said.
what did he say?
Without hesitation for a moment
"I'm going with the idiot»
And you, who believed
That the idiot was me
Well, no.
The very Pendon
He was coming and going
Putting on his boots
With the least idiot
Of the two
And you know what I tell them?
That idiot and I
We became friends
The day Maruja left us…
By another idiot
But ... how beautiful they were
My second wife and first
Have you guys looked at me?
Also ask them to love me
don't you think it was
Asking too much?
My third wife was, gentlemen.
Of all loves
That I've lost
The one that hurt me the most
guess what? His name was Dolores.
But, the day
Of my birthday, my darling
He said, " even though you're bad
Joaquinito
I bring you, as a gift
A little gift»
With his Holy unconsciousness
Declared in state
And I, who had sworn
To die without offspring
How my father died
To the future mother
Dismayed:
"There are pains that kill!»
I screamed at him in pain.
"And didn't it occur to you
To think that your husband
I would have preferred
Another tie?»
It was a girl, a dick girl
not even a man!
At last, with twenty years
She was taken by a stranger.
And I didn't lose a daughter
I won a bathroom.
Sorry!
Sofia dressed me up
Maruja adorned me
I was just missing
Taking childbirth classes without pain
And with pain
But ... how beautiful were the three of them
And, above all, the third
Have you guys looked at me?
Also ask them to love me
Don't you think it was
Asking too much?
