Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Los Chismes by Chalino y Adán from Spanish to English.
Nada mas abri la boca
I just opened my mouth
Que ya estaba por casarme
And they were already talking about me getting married
Y la gente que es curiosa
And people who are curious
Termino por preguntarme
Ended up asking me
Al saber quien es la novia
When they found out who the bride is
Ya querían desanimarme
They wanted to discourage me
Dicen que eres algo ciega
They say you're somewhat blind
Pero no me importa tanto
But I don't care that much
Yo te quiero para mi esposa
I want you to be my wife
No para tirar al blanco
Not to use as target practice
Cuando no me veas, me tientas
When you don't see me, you tempt me
Para que sepas por 'onde ando
So you know where I am
Me vienen flojos
Doesn't bother me
Y no me importa lo que digan por ahí
And I don't care what they say out there
Te quiero mucho
I love you so much
Bien de mi vida
My dear life
Y nunca nadien me podrá alejar de ti
And no one can separate me from you
Y no te aflijas chiquita
And don't worry, little one
Que estando bien con Dios
When you're right with God
Los santos valen un cero a la izquierda, si señor
The saints are worth nothing, yes sir
También dicen que eres fea
They also say you're ugly
Eso a mí no me interesa
I don't care about that
Porque nunca te he querido
Because I've never loved you
Para concurso de belleza
For a beauty contest
Aunque fueras cacarisa
Even if you were ugly
Para mí eres mi princesa
To me, you're my princess
Por ahí dicen que eres flaca
They say you're skinny
Eso ya me lo sabia
I already knew that
Al cabo es que no te quiero
But I don't want you
Para poner carnicería
To be a butcher shop
Si quisiera una gordita
If I wanted a chubby girl
Sé que me la consegía
I know I could find one
Me dijeron que estas prieta
They told me you're dark-skinned
Y que no te voy a mirar
And that I won't look at you
Yo tengo mucho dinero
I have a lot of money
Y te mando a niquelar
And I'll send you to get nickel-plated
Para que relampaguees
So you can shine
Y te vea en la oscuridad
And I can see you in the dark
Me vienen flojos
Doesn't bother me
Y no me importa lo que digan por ahí
And I don't care what they say out there
Te quiero mucho
I love you so much
Bien de mi vida
My dear life
Y nunca nadien me podrá alejar de ti
And no one can separate me from you
