La mujer que yo quiero, no necesita
The woman that I love does not need
Bañarse cada noche en agua bendita
Bathe every night in holy water
Tiene muchos defectos, dice mi madre
She has many flaws, says my mother
Y demasiados huesos, dice mi padre
And too many bones, says my father
Pero ella es más verdad que el pan y la tierra
But she's truer than bread and dirt
Mi amor es un amor de antes de la guerra
My love is a love from before the war
Para saberlo
To know
La mujer que yo quiero, no necesita
The woman that I love does not need
Deshojar cada noche una margarita
Defoliate a daisy every night
La mujer que yo quiero, es fruta jugosa
The woman that I want is juicy fruit
Prendida en mi alma como si cualquier cosa
Burned in my soul as if anything
Con ella quieren dármela mis amigos
With it my friends want to give it to me
Y se amargan la vida mis enemigos
And life is bitter my enemies
Porque sin querer tú, te envuelve su arrullo
Because without wanting you, she wraps her lullaby around you
Y contra su calor, se pierde el orgullo
And against her heat, pride is lost
Y la vergüenza
and the shame
La mujer que yo quiero, es fruta jugosa
The woman that I want is juicy fruit
Madurando feliz, dulce y vanidosa
Growing up happy, sweet and vain
La mujer que yo quiero, me ató a su yunta
The woman I love tied me to her team
Para sembrar la tierra de punta a punta
To sow the land from end to end
De un amor que nos habla con voz de sabio
Of a love that speaks to us with a wise voice
Y tiene de mujer la piel y los labios
And she has a woman's skin and lips
Son todos suyos mis compañeros de antes
They are all yours my companions from before
Mi perro, mi scalextric y mis amantes
My dog, my scalextric and my lovers
Pobre Juanito
poor Juanito
La mujer que yo quiero, me ató a su yunta
The woman I love tied me to her team
Pero, por favor, no se lo digas nunca
But please don't ever tell him
Pero, por favor, no se lo digas nunca
But please don't ever tell him
