Yo no mendigo amor
El Gran Combo de Puerto Rico
I Don't Beg for Love
I don't beg for love
I don't beg for love
Whoever wants to love me should look for me and call me
Because I don't beg for love.
I don't beg for love
And much less for a caress.
Not even a kiss with its delights
No, I don't beg, no.
I don't wait for their approval,
Nor anyone's opinion
That's how I feel,
That's how I feel and that's why...
I don't beg for love
CHORUS
I tried it once
And begged for a hug.
She gestured with her arm
That she couldn't do it.
She always had a duty
Whether the house, the kitchen
And the calls over at the office
She had to attend to.
This way I learned
That if you give love completely
It ends completely
And nothing is left for you.
Give it little by little
And with little you will remain.
And you won't have to beg
Like a crazy heart
And I tell you that...
CHORUS
From now on I won't beg anyone
And much less ask for a favor.
I will take my place
First, second, third, it's me!
My words are simple, do you know where I am?
In the yellow pages.
Let everyone know that
I don't beg for love
I don't want charity
I'm not a beggar.
If they give me love
Give it to me completely
Don't come to me with crumbs
I don't want that.
