La gafitas de la pecas
The little glasses of freckles
Con complejo de muñeca desconchada
With chipped wrist complex
Frota su cuerpo desnudo
rub her naked body
Contra el lino blanco y mudo de la almohada
Against the mute white linen of the pillow
Invisible entre la gente
invisible among the people
Condenada a ser decente según fama
Condemned to be decent according to fame
Que del cuello le colgaron
That they hung from her neck
Los que nunca la invitaron a su cama
Those who never invited her to their bed
Cuando agoniza la fiesta, todas encuentran pareja, menos lola
When the party dies, they all find a partner, except Lola
Que se va, sin ser besada
That she leaves, without being kissed
A dormirse como cada noche sola
To fall asleep like every night alone
y una lágrima salada
and a salty tear
Con sabor a mermelada de ternura
Jam-flavored with tenderness
Moja el suelo de su alcoba
wet the floor of his bedroom
Donde un espejo le roba la hermosura
Where a mirror steals the beauty
Nadie sabe cómo le queman en la boca
Nobody knows how they burn in the mouth
Tantos besos que no ha dado
So many kisses that she has not given
y en el corazón tan de par y par
and in the heart so pair and pair
y tan oxidado
and so rusty
Ojos lujuriosos de hombres
lustful eyes of men
Que en el último tren me gustan y desean
That in the last train I like and wish
Nunca miran dentro del escote de las feas
They never look inside the cleavage of the ugly ones
Besos en la frente, besos en la frente le dan
Kisses on the forehead, kisses on the forehead they give
Besos en la frente
Kisses on the forehead
Nadie trata de ir más allá
No one tries to go further
Yo quise probar
I wanted to try
Yo que en cosas del amor
I that in things of love
Nunca me he guiado por las apariencias
I have never been guided by appearances
En su cintura encontré
At her waist I found
Una mariposa de concupiscencia
A butterfly of concupiscence
Las más explosivas damas
The most explosive ladies
Me dejaban en la cama congelado
They left me frozen in bed
Ten cuidado al desnudarme
be careful when undressing
No vayas a estropearme mi peinado
Don't go messing up my hairstyle
Lola si que lo ha comprendido
Lola if she that she has understood
Por caminos escondidos ha buscado
Through hidden paths she has searched
El agua que mana del oscuro manantial del pecado
The water that flows from the dark spring of sin
y aunque me ha dejado marcado como un mapa
and although she has left me marked like a map
De arañazos en la espalda
Of scratches on the back
Nunca hallé tanto calor como bajo su falda
I never found so much warmth as under her skirt
y le he pedido vente conmigo
and I have asked him to come with me
Aunque la peña diga tío que mal te lo montas
Even if the gang says uncle, how bad you get it on
Harto como estaba de tanta guapa
Sick of how she was so pretty
Insípida y tonta
tasteless and silly
Paso de la falsa belleza igual que el sabio
Step of the false beauty equal to the wise
Que no cambia parís por su aldea
That she does not change Paris for her village
y me abrazo a la verdad desnuda de mi fea
and I embrace the naked truth of my ugly
