La mujer que yo quiero, no necesita
The woman I want, doesn't need
Bañarse cada noche en agua bendita
Bathing every night in holy water
Tiene muchos defectos, dice mi madre
It has many flaws, my mother says
Y demasiados huesos, dice mi padre
And too many bones, my father says
Pero ella es más verdad que el pan y la tierra
But she is truer than bread and earth
Mi amor es un amor de antes de la guerra
My love is a pre-war love
Para saberlo
To find out
La mujer que yo quiero, no necesita
The woman I want, doesn't need
Deshojar cada noche una margarita
Defoliate a daisy every night
La mujer que yo quiero, es fruta jugosa
The woman I love is juicy fruit
Prendida en mi alma como si cualquier cosa
Caught in my soul as if anything
Con ella quieren dármela mis amigos
My friends want to give it to me
Y se amargan la vida mis enemigos
And my enemies become bitter in life
Porque sin querer tú, te envuelve su arrullo
Because without wanting to, you are enveloped by his cooing
Y contra su calor, se pierde el orgullo
And against its heat, pride is lost
Y la vergüenza
And shame
La mujer que yo quiero, es fruta jugosa
The woman I love is juicy fruit
Madurando feliz, dulce y vanidosa
Maturing happy, sweet and vain
La mujer que yo quiero, me ató a su yunta
The woman I love, tied me to her yoke
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 the voice of a wise man
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 colleagues from before
Mi perro, mi scalextric y mis amantes
My dog, my scalextric and my lovers
Pobre Juanito
Poor Johnny
La mujer que yo quiero, me ató a su yunta
The woman I love, tied me to her yoke
Pero, por favor, no se lo digas nunca
But please never tell them
Pero, por favor, no se lo digas nunca
But please never tell them
