Señora [English translation]

That one who your daughter dreams of

that robber who robs

your love, it's me, mistress.

I know I'm not a good son-in-law.

I'm almost a kiss from hell,

but a kiss at least, mistress.

I'm the one for who now

you wonder why, mistress

your fragance wilted,

losing the life, spoiling her childhood,

keeping the dream awake,

crying her crying

with so much abundance.

If when a flower opens

the smell of the flower

forgets the flower.

Worthless were the nuns,

the whims and the flatteries

that you had in lots, mistress.

You didn't educate her, I'll take care,

for a long-haired dreamer

What are you going to do, mistress,

if in your clock the time came

to forget your home, mistress,

in the arms of an unknown,

who only gave you a Cupid blow

who didn't make you beautiful

by force of wrinkles

and lost years?

If when a flower opens

the smell of the flower

forgets the flower.

Wear and old dress

and, looking sideways, in the mirror,

go back, mistress.

Remember before cursing me,

that your had the firm skin

and a dream in it

and a dream in it

and a dream in it, mistress...
