Duquesa Lyrics in English Café Quijano
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Duquesa by Café Quijano from Spanish to English.
Ella quiso que su hija
She wanted her daughter
Se vistiera de duquesa
Duchess's dressed
Que no fuera cenicienta
That was not Cinderella
Que la vieran en calesas
That they saw it in calesas
Nunca quiso que su hija
He never wanted his daughter
Se vistiera de plebeya
Dressed in plebeian
Nunca me quiso a m
He never loved me
Tuve las manos llenas
I had full hands
De bondad y de cario
Of goodness and cario
Nunca tuve las monedas
I never had the coins
Que compraran apellidos
They will buy surnames
Tuve padres muy normales
I had very normal parents
Sin ducados ni castillos
No Ducados or Castles
Nunca me quiso a m
He never loved me
Dicen los sabios que el tiempo sabe
The wise say that time knows
Poner cada cosa en el sitio que cabe
Put on the site that fits
Pasan los aos y aqu me tiene
The years pass and here it has
Con unos cambios en los papeles
With some changes in the papers
La conciencia nunca engaa
Consciousness never cheats
Siempre y cuando el alma sepa lo que guarda
As long as the soul knows what it keeps
Y esta vida es tan larga que seguiremos
And this life is so long that we will continue
Vindonos las caras
Wanding our faces
Ella sabe que recuerdo
She knows what I remember
Su desprecio y su cinismo
His contempt and his cynicism
Hoy se acerca con saludos
Today is approaching with greetings
Como si yo no fuera el mismo
As if I weren't the same
No me importa ser corts
I don't care to be Corts
Aunque pensando le digo
Although thinking I say
Perdono pero no olvido
Forgive but not forget
Si valoro lo que tengo
If I value what I have
Mejor que no me quisiera
Better than I wouldn't love
Con los aos lo agradezco
I appreciate it with the years
Hoy me quiere una plebeya
Today a plebeian loves me
Con Fernndez de apellido
With Fernndez surnamed
Es mi ms bella doncella
Is my most beautiful maiden
La bella de las bellas
THE BELLA DE LAS BELLAS
Dicen los sabios que el tiempo sabe
The wise say that time knows
Poner cada cosa en el sitio que cabe
Put on the site that fits
Pasan los aos y aqu me tiene
The years pass and here it has
Con unos cambios en los papeles
With some changes in the papers
La conciencia nunca engaa
Consciousness never cheats
Siempre y cuando el alma sepa lo que guarda
As long as the soul knows what it keeps
Y esta vida es tan larga que seguiremos
And this life is so long that we will continue
Vindonos las caras
Wanding our faces
