La Hija Del Fletero

La hija del fletero, linda infinita

The daughter of the truck driver, endlessly beautiful

Volvió a Madrid, donde parece que es feliz

She returned to Madrid, where it seems she is happy

Ese día me mando al descenso

That day she sent me to relegation

Recuerdo como su mirada me volteó

I remember how her gaze turned me around

Pero dos que se quieren, se dicen cualquier cosa

But two who love each other say anything

Ay ! si pudieras recordar sin rencor.

Ah! If you could remember without resentment

En mi buzón hay un par de cartas suyas

In my mailbox, there are a couple of her letters

Fueron juntándose y no tengo el valor...

They kept piling up, and I don't have the courage...

Todavía su amor me descargas

Still, her love unloads on me

(nunca tuvo amigos en conjunto junto a mi)

(she never had friends together with me)

Pero a los ciegos no les gustan los sordos

But blind people don't like the deaf

Y un corazón no se endurece por que sí

And a heart doesn't harden just because

No calentás la misma cama por dos noches

You don't warm the same bed for two nights

Me reclamaba y no la quise oír

She demanded, and I didn't want to hear

Hice de todo por impresionarla

I did everything to impress her

Y dejé huérfano todo su penar

And I left all her suffering orphaned

No me gustó como nos despedimos

I didn't like how we said goodbye

Daban sus labios rocío y no bebí

Her lips gave off dew, and I didn't drink

Sopa de almejas es todo lo que como

Clam chowder is all I eat

(siempre fui menos que mi reputación)

(I was always less than my reputation)
