Cesantías de Amor

Oh, they criticize me for living in love
They criticize me for living in love
They say I live devoted to my dark-skinned girl
And they even say I don't leave that street
That they will have to retire me and give me severance pay
That I used to censor my friends first
Because I lived submissively and my day has come

And they remember that I used to enjoy partying
And if they didn't accompany me, I felt resentful
And those who don't know might think wrong
That they put a condition on me
And those who don't know might think wrong
That they put a condition on me

That I have to stop drinking
If I want to have a heart
That I have to stop drinking
If I want to have a heart
Oh, if I want to have a heart
I have to stop drinking, man!

Who said that because I have a drink
Who said that because I have a drink
I will despise a gift that is almost mine
Let my parties be forgotten
My dark-skinned girl is the one in charge and I tell her every day
If after I find someone who loves me
I don't think that because I drink, I will cause trouble
If she can at least at the beginning
Impose her rights on me and then mine

Tell me if it's not reasonable
That I no longer drink or go out there
Tell me if it's not reasonable
That I no longer drink or go out there
After she has her heart
Then I will go out to celebrate
After she has her heart
Then I will go out to celebrate
Oh, after she has her heart
Then I will go out to celebrate

Of course, chief, with all your followers!
Oh my childhood and teenage friends
My childhood and teenage friends
Who appreciate each other so much and grew up together
It doesn't offend me that they interfere in my life
I know it's because they appreciate me and are my friends
I understand that maybe they feel jealous
Thinking that those times will never come back
I confess that at first it was a whim
But I need her to be calm

And she who knows that I am like this
Will have reasons to reciprocate
And she who knows that I am like this
Will have reasons to reciprocate
Knowing that I have to leave
And later I want to come back
Knowing that I have to leave
And later I want to come back
Oh, knowing that I have to leave
And later I want to come back
