Las Gallinas Cacaraquean
Los Rehenes
Lyrics
Translation
Los caballeros no tienen memoria
Gentlemen have no memory
Ni hablan mal de las mujeres
They don't speak ill of women
Mejor quedarse callados
It's better to stay quiet
Disfrutar de sus placeres
Enjoy their pleasures
Total ¿que vas a ganar
After all, what will you gain
Si platicas cuantas tienes?
If you talk about how many you have?
Las mujeres no tienen edad
Women have no age
No les preguntes por ella
Don't ask them about it
No hagas que se sientan mal
Don't make them feel bad
Pues su belleza es eterna
Because their beauty is eternal
Y las caricias que te dieron
And the caresses they gave you
Ahora tal vez son ajenas
Now might be someone else's
Los gallos se oyen cantar
Roosters can be heard singing
Las gallinas cacaraquean
Hens cluck
Si hablas mal de una mujer
If you speak ill of a woman
Dime entre cuales te encuentras
Tell me which category you belong to
Mi abuelo brinco el corral
My grandfather jumped the coop
De gallineros con dueños
From coops with owners
Pero no cacaraqueo
But he didn't cluck
Se murió con su secreto
He died with his secret
Si te vienen a preguntar
If they come asking
Cosas malas de una de ellas
Bad things about one of them
Dile que no la conoces
Tell them you don't know her
Dile que no la recuerdas
Tell them you don't remember her
Los gallos se oyen cantar
Roosters can be heard singing
Las gallinas cacaraquean
Hens cluck
Si hablas mal de una mujer
If you speak ill of a woman
Dime entre cuales te encuentras
Tell me which category you belong to
Mi abuelo brinco el corral
My grandfather jumped the coop
De gallineros con dueños
From coops with owners
Pero no cacaraqueo
But he didn't cluck
Se murió con su secreto
He died with his secret
Los gallos se oyen cantar
Roosters can be heard singing
Las gallinas cacaraquean
Hens cluck
