Lyrics

Español

Tienen coplas en España, cuplés tienen los franceses y yo quiero tener coplas de carácter nacional. Hoy las chicas son terribles cuando se quieren casar, hoy las chicas son terribles cuando se quieren casar, y si pescan candidato no lo dejan escapar, y aunque no tengan carnada el anzuelo hacen tragar, hoy las chicas son terribles cuando se quieren casar, y si pescan candidato no lo dejan escapar. Como tengo varias coplas archivadas en el mate, voy a ver si otra les canto no me quiero hacer rogar. Las muchachas con el cine hoy están locas de atar, las muchachas con el cine hoy están locas de atar, y pretenden a la 'Greta' como estrella suplantar, sin pensar las estrellitas que se pueden estrellar... Las muchachas con el cine hoy están locas de atar y pretenden a la 'Greta' como estrellas suplantar.

They have coplas in Spain, the French have cuplés and I want to have coplas of national character. Today the girls are terrible when they want to get married, today girls are terrible when they want to get married, and if they catch a candidate they don't let him escape, and even if they don't have bait they make them swallow the bait, today the girls are terrible when they want to get married, and if they catch a candidate they don't let him escape. As I have several couplets filed in my mate, I'm going to see if I can sing another one I don't want to make myself be begged. The girls with the movies today they're mad as hell, the girls with the movies today they're crazy to tie, and they pretend to 'Greta' as a star to supplant, without thinking of the little stars that they can crash... The girls with the cinema today are mad as hell and they pretend to 'Greta' as stars to supplant.
