No hables mal de las mujeres [English translation]

Don't speak ill of women

For I don't see defects in them

Women always have

Some virtue inside

Some grace outside

And in the soul all have

The most noble sentiments

Chorus:

That doesn't mean that

I have bad luck

That doesn't mean that

I love the prettiest and

And she doesn't love me

He who would criticize women

The fact is he has no memory

And he who neither loves his mother

Nor deserves to have a sweetheart

Doesn't deserve to be loved by them

Because history is overflowing

With good women

Chorus

How I like women

Little dark ones or olive-skinned ones

And the blonds when they have

The color of the Madonna lily

The perfume of the roses

And the charming face

Of the little girls of my land

Chorus

However unlikely it seems

Women always rule

Say what one will

And although many keep quiet about it

Men are playthings

In the hands of women

We are salt in water

Chorus
