Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Maldita Sea Mi Suerte by Pedro Infante from Spanish to English.
Ahora les voy a cantar
Now I'm going to sing
A las niñas por bonitas
To the girls for being pretty
A las viejas por viejitas
To the old ladies for being old ladies
Y a mi amor por olvidar
And to my love so that I may forget
Tantas flores en el flan
So many flowers in the flan
Tantas aves en el cielo
So many birds in the sky
Tantas tórtolas en vuelo
So many doves in flight
Pero cuánto gavilán
But what a hawk
Zopilotes a volar
Buzzards, take flight
Presumido el gavilán
The hawk is vain
Las palomas de San Juan
The pigeons of San Juan
Lo pueden desplumar
Can pluck him
Solo quiero contemplar
I only want to gaze
Sus ojitos y besar
At her little eyes and to kiss
Su boquita sin igual
Her matchless little mouth
Que me haré tanto mal
That I'll do myself so much harm
Ni paseo mi suerte mi vida
Not even on a stroll, my luck, my life
Mi vida me la han robado
They've stolen my life from me
Pero a mi me han dejado
But they've left me
Mi amor que te quiere y te buscara
My love that loves you and will look for you
Dame de despedida, mi vida
Give me as a farewell, my life
Mi vida no mas un beso
My life, just one kiss
Ahora te doy mi vida
Now I give you my life
Mi vida, mi vida te entrego yo
My life, my life I hand over to you
En los versos del cantar
In the verses of the song
Hay uno que a mi me gusta
There's one that I like
El del tonto que se asusta
The one of the fool that gets scared
Con su sombra al caminar
By his shadow as he walks
Si hay alguno en la humedad
If there's someone in the damp
Si hay alguno que le duela
If there's someone that hurts
Que de besos le consuela
That with kisses consoles him
Le consuela la verdad
The truth consoles him
Zopilotes a volar
Buzzards, take flight
Presumido el gavilán
The hawk is vain
Las palomas de San Juan
The pigeons of San Juan
Lo pueden desplumar
Can pluck him
Solo quiero contemplar
I only want to gaze
Sus ojitos y besar
At her little eyes and to kiss
Su boquita sin igual
Her matchless little mouth
Que me haré tanto mal
That I'll do myself so much harm
Ni paseo mi suerte mi vida
Not even on a stroll, my luck, my life
Mi vida me la han robado
They've stolen my life from me
Pero a mi me han dejado
But they've left me
Mi amor que te quiere y te buscara
My love that loves you and will look for you
Dame de despedida, mi vida
Give me as a farewell, my life
Mi vida no mas un beso
My life, just one kiss
Ahora te doy mi vida
Now I give you my life
Mi vida, mi vida te entrego yo
My life, my life I hand over to you
