Lyrics

Español

La mujer que al nacer está marcada No hay que hacer, es inútil luchar, Vos naciste como sos: desfachatada Y hacés bien, no es verdad, tanto embromar. No podés, pues, ponerte cabrera Cuando un hombre te bate: ¿Qué hacés?, Vos no sos, cual francesa, chiquetera Vos sos así, sos criolla de ley.

English · machine translation

The woman who is marked from birth There's nothing to be done, it's useless to fight, You were born as you are: brazen And you do well, isn't it true, to make such trouble. So you can't get yourself annoyed When a man says to you: What are you up to?, You're not, like a French girl, a tease You're like this, you're criollo through and through.
