Si, a medía noche, por la carretera que te conté
Yes, at midnight, along the road that I told you about
Detrás de una gasolinera donde llené
Behind a gas station where I filled up
Te hacen un guiño unas bombillas
Some bulbs wink at you
Azules, rojas y amarillas
Blue, red and yellow
Pórtate bien y frena
Be good and stop
Y, si la Magdalena pide un trago
And if the Magdalena asks for a drink
Tú la invitas a cien que yo los pago
You invite her to a hundred that I pay for
Acércate a su puerta y llama
Come to her door and knock
Si te mueres de sed
if you die of thirst
Si ya no juegas a las damas ni con tu mujer
If you no longer play checkers or with your wife
Sólo te pido que me escribas
I only ask you to write to me
Contándome si sigue viva
Telling me if she's still alive
La virgen del pecado
the virgin of sin
La novia de la flor de la saliva
The spit flower bride
El sexo con amor de los casados
Sex with love of the married
Dueña de un corazón tan de cinco estrellas
Owner of such a five-star heart
Que hasta el hijo de un Dios
That even the son of a God
Una vez que la vio, se fue con ella
Once he saw her, he went with her
Y nunca le cobró
And she never charged him
La Magdalena
the cupcake
Si estás más solo que la luna, déjate convencer
If you are lonelier than the moon, let yourself be convinced
Brindando a mi salud, con una que yo me sé
Toasting my health, with one that I know
Y, cuando suban las bebidas
And, when the drinks come up
El doble de lo que te pida
Twice what you ask
Dale por sus favores
give him for his favors
Que, en casa de María de Magdalena
That, in the house of María de Magdalena
Las malas compañías son las mejores
bad company is the best
Si llevas grasa en la guantera
If you have grease in the glove compartment
Y un alma que perder
And a soul to lose
Aparca junto a sus caderas de leche y miel
Park next to her milk and honey hips
Entre dos curvas redentoras
Between two redemptive curves
La más prohibida de las frutas
The most forbidden of fruits
Te espera hasta la aurora
She waits for you until dawn
La más señora de todas las putas
The most lady of all whores
La más puta de todas las señoras
The most whore of all ladies
Con ese corazón, tan cinco estrellas
With that heart, so five stars
Que hasta el hijo de un Dios
That even the son of a God
Una vez que la vio, se fue con ella
Once he saw her, he went with her
Y nunca le cobró
And she never charged him
La Magdalena
the cupcake
