No puedo comprenderte
I can't understand you
Si es que me quieres
If you love me
O me desprecias
Or you despise me
Porque extrañablemente
Because strangely
He sentido cosas

En ti, mujer
In you, woman
No quieres que yo vaya
You don't want me to go
Y le hable a tu padre
And talk to your father
Porque te aprietan
Because they squeeze you
Porque ellos tienen plata

Y yo simplemente
And I just
Soy un chofer

Entonces por qué mujer

Te enamoraste de mí

Sabiendo que este chofer

Y que sólo vivo

De mi trabajo

No tengo esa belleza

Que tiene usted

Sé que eres colegiala

De buen plantel

Pero de nada vale

Tu educación

Ante mi honradez
