Translation

Hágame el favor compadre Debe

Do me a favor, compadre, please

llegue a esa ventana marroncita

Get to that little brown window

toque tres canciones bien bonitas

Play three very beautiful songs

que a mi no me importa si se ofenden

I don't care if they get offended


Que yo las canto con el alma,

Because I sing them with my soul

para esa linda morenita

For that lovely little brunette

de la ventana marroncita,

By the little brown window

a donde duerme mi adorada

Where my beloved sleeps


Dicen que el amor cuando es sincero

They say that love, when it's sincere

es como una nube en primavera

Is like a cloud in spring

que devuelve a bueno un aguacero

That turns a downpour into goodness

agua para sustentar la tierra

Water to sustain the earth


Y en esa forma el corazón

And in this way, the heart

Ay! cuando quiere de verdad

Oh! When it truly desires

de día de noche o madruga'

Day or night, or in the early morning

vive alimentando su amor

Lives nourishing its love


Este sentimiento cariñoso

This affectionate feeling

gira alrededor de mi alma buena

Spins around my good soul

que por ser tan noble me condena

Which, being so noble, condemns me

y eso es lo que a ti te importa poco

And that's what matters little to you


Ya yo no quisiera insistirte

I would not like to insist to you anymore

porque veo poca voluntad

Because I see little willingness

y esta es una vaina fregada

And this is a messed-up thing

ya yo no tengo que decirte

I have nothing more to tell you
