Pero qué hermosas eran [English translation]

My first woman was a harpy,

but boy, the gazpacho she had

was just right. 1

Her name...let's call her Sofia.

One bad day she put the suitcases

at the feet of the statue, of a poet,

who is inmortalized in his circus.

After, don't be amazed,

registering to her name,

my duplex,

my visa, my past,

her hurry and her future,

leaving me laying down without a dime.

The straw that broke,

ladies and gentlemen

her love's back,

was the cholesterol.

Sick, after two heart attacks

of getting close to the third...

to the systole and the diastole of my heart

I put a pacemaker,

that was delayed

making interferences

on the TV frequency.

Since I lost her

until today, poor me,

more drunk everytime,

I roll from counter to counter:

hey: Do you have gazpacho?

But...how beautiful she was

when she was going by the street arm in arm,

Haven't you looked at me?,

asking that bombshell to love me

Don't you think it was

asking too much?

My second woman was a witch,

and me, so idiot that I kissed

the floor she stepped.

Her name...let's call her Maruja.

That day I returned soon from the job,

and in my bed, under an idiot,

a naked lady was doing it.

And I who never

have been in an orgy,

taking off my boots,

I said: "this is mine",

and so much it was,

the one of stilettos was Maruja.

"Between that idiot and I,

like Jupiter thundering,

you choose" I said,

What did she answer?

without hesitating,

"I'm going with the idiot".

And you, did you think that I was the idiot.

Well not, that whore

was coming and going,

wearing her boots,

with the least idiot of both.

Do you know what?

that idiot and I

we became good friends,

the day Maruja left us...for another idiot.

But...how beautiful they were

my second woman and the first,

Haven't you looked at me?,

asking them on top of that to love me

Don't you think it was

asking too much?

My third woman was, gentlemen

of all the loves I lost

the one that hurted me the most.

Did you guess it? Her name was Dolores. 2

But, on my birthday, my darling

told me: "Though you're mean, Joaquinito,

I have a little gift for you"

With her holy unconsciousness

she declared she was expecting,

and I, who swore

to die without descendence,

like my father died,

to the future mother, dismayed:

"There are pains that kill!"

I yelled ached

"And haven't you thought

of thinking that your husband

whould have prefered

another tie?"

It's a girl, a posh girl, not even a boy!

Finally, with twenty years,

a stranger took her,

and I haven't lost a daughter,

I gained a toilet. Pardon me!

Sofia dressed me,

Maruja decorated me,

the only thing missing

is to take classes of painless birth... with Dolores.

But...how beautiful they were the three of them

specially the third,

Haven't you looked at me?,

asking them on top of that to love me

Don't you think it was

asking too much?
