La Gitana
Juan Gabriel
The Gypsy
A rejected woman is more dangerous than a wild animal
You better watch out, my son, so it doesn't happen to you
What happened to my brother-in-law
He left his wife
Like a river
Lets the water flow through the fields
He was tired of all the jealousy and intrigue
And one day he went to the sea
He went for a swim and met a friend
Who made him sing and forget his pain
And he fell in love with that good woman
And that's how he saved himself
From that cruel sentence
They went dancing and dancing, dance after dance
To San Juan village
And there he saw the morning and a gypsy with pretty eyes
Who said to him, come
For a coin, I'll tell you
What awaits you
You're going to be happy like you used to be.
Morning light, how they are
He who perseveres achieves
Where there's jealousy, there's no love
Don't be distrustful
Don't let yourself be fooled
Because it's all for nothing
No one belongs to anyone, don't forget
That men and women are born free.
The other one asks you to come back soon to her side
But you're totally in love with this one
She tells you to forgive
Everything she did to you
You're not resentful nor forgetful
Oh no no no, who's going to come back
Not a chance, I wouldn't come back, no way
Oh no no no, who's going to come back
As if there was anything else in this world but that woman
That one is stubborn, ignorant, and arrogant
Spoiled and hot-headed, ill-minded and reckless
This one, on the other hand, is funny, intuitive, and smart
Helpful and loving, and besides, she's obedient.
