Los amantes [English translation]

I am one of those lovers

as elegant as those from the past

Who always wear gloves.

*

During the week I dress casual

but on Sunday I dress up smart

in my linen jacket

*

And I go searching for the balconies

where beautiful Juliets can hear my songs

and I take care of them

*

Chorus:

And I am always

losing my voice

singing folk songs

under your window, my love

come out now this troubador

is roasting in the heat.

*

I’m an educated gentleman

handsome, polite and a fine companion

a desirable batchelor.

*

And I don’t have any hang ups

I always check myself in the mirror

before making a pass at someone

*

If sometimes I make mistakes

so you won’t cry I ask for a thousand pardons

with a million flowers.

*

Repeat Chorus
