La Bartola
Look Bartola
I leave you those two pesos
Pay the rent
The telephone and the light
From what's left
Take some for your expenses
Save the rest
To buy my alipus
The money I earn
I give it all to you
I give you peso after peso
Always until reaching two
You don't appreciate my cents
And you spend them, it's horrible
That's why I'm not rich
For being wasteful
Look Bartola
I leave you those two pesos
And you heard me, right? Pay the rent
The telephone and the light, you go!
From what's left
Take some for your expenses
And save the rest
To buy my alipus
If you have enough for the maid
Then pay her all at once
You have peso after peso
Even if they don't go beyond two
Save something for tomorrow
You have to be conservative
You'll see how you save
For a mink coat
