El Soltero

Una vez yo fui casado, y quede desengañado

Once I was married, and I was left disillusioned

De que la mujer que llora, es por demás

That the woman who cries, is beyond necessary

Nomás me salgo a la puerta, la he dejado un poco abierta,

As soon as I step out the door, I left it slightly open,

Se mete al cartero al frente y al lechero por detrás

The mailman enters from the front, and the milkman from behind

Que feliz es el soltero, que se amarra el pantalón

How happy is the bachelor, who fastens his pants

Ahora busco una soltera como yo

Now I look for a single woman like me

Ya no quiero ser tu esposo, no lo creas que por celoso

I no longer want to be your husband, don't think it's because I'm jealous

La faldilla nunca manda, si el que manda es el calzón

The skirt never commands, it's the underwear that rules

Ya nadie me dice nada, si llego en la madrugada

No one tells me anything now, if I come home in the early morning

Como aquella mañanita en que llegue

Like that little morning when I arrived

Me tiraste con la silla, y el palo de las tortillas,

You threw a chair at me, and the tortilla stick

En calzón salí corriendo, que por poco me resfrié

I ran out in my underwear, almost catching a cold

Que feliz es el soltero, que se amarra el pantalón

How happy is the bachelor, who fastens his pants

Ahora busco una soltera como yo

Now I look for a single woman like me

Ya no quiero ser tu esposo, no lo creas que por celoso

I no longer want to be your husband, don't think it's because I'm jealous

La faldilla nunca manda, si el que manda es el calzón

The skirt never commands, it's the underwear that rules
