No le ofreció la luna,
He did not offer him the moon,
Le dijo sólo quédate conmigo,
She told him just stay with me
No hay fortuna,
there is no fortune,
Que valga el corazón que te daré,
That the heart that I will give you is worth,
Ella dudó un momento
she hesitated for a moment
Y luego contestó que sí
And then she said yes
Pero sin juramentos
but no oaths
Que no vas a saber después cumplir
That you will not know after fulfilling
Y si de verdad me amas
And if you really love me
No habrá casorio para que
There will be no marriage for
Con dos en una cama
With two in one bed
Sobran testigos, cura, y juez,
There are plenty of witnesses, a priest, and a judge,
Y viviremos lejos
and we will live far away
Del tráfico y la polución,
From traffic and pollution,
Mejor llegar a viejos
better grow old
A la sombra de algún sauce llorón
In the shade of some weeping willow
Le regaló un anillo
she gave him a ring
De quita y pon que unen sin atar,
Detachable that join without tying,
Y levantó un castillo
And she built a castle
De arena fina junto al mar,
Of fine sand by the sea,
Sus dos hijos dudaron
Her two sons doubted
Entre el dinero y el saber,
Between money and knowledge
Llamaron al primero
they called the first
Caín y al benjamín Abel
Cain and Benjamin Abel
Lo leí, lo soñé, lo inventé,
I read it, I dreamed it, I invented it,
Mi cuento de momento empieza bien
My story for the moment starts well
A Abel lo liquidaron
Abel was liquidated
Y el crimen nunca se aclaró,
And the crime was never clarified
Apenas ya quedaron
they barely left
Sólo, ya, Caín y su ambición,
Only, now, Cain and his ambition,
Montaron un negocio
they set up a business
En el terrenito de papa,
In dad's little land,
Menudo par de socios
nice pair of partners
Hicieron del castillo
made of the castle
Un bodrio de urbanización,
A slop of urbanization,
Aquel edén sencillo
that simple eden
Se llama ahora Nueva York,
It is now called New York,
Los dos viejos se hospedan
The two old men stay
En un hogar de la tercera edad,
In a nursing home,
El hijo que les queda
their remaining son
Les manda mazapán por Navidad
He sends them marzipan for Christmas
Lo conté tal cual fue, como haré que al final
I told it as it was, how will I do that in the end
Los cuentos que yo cuento acaban tan mal
The tales I tell end so badly
Do, re, mi, mi, fa, sol, fa ,sol, la
Do, re, mi, mi, fa, sol, fa, sol, la
Los cuento que yo cuento acaban fatal
The stories that I tell end fatally
No soy yo, ogladí, ogladá,
It's not me, ogladi, ogladá,
Los cuentos que yo cuento acaban so bad
The stories that I tell end so bad
Colorín, colorao,
colorful, colorful,
El cuento que yo cuento se ha acabao
The story that I tell has ended
