El Mantenido
Los Huracanes del Norte
The Kept Man
It doesn't matter if you make me a fool
Just don't leave me.
It doesn't matter if you make me a fool
Just don't leave me
that's what José told
the woman he loves the most
Don't think it's out of love
but rather because it suits me.
Work gives him allergies
when he works, he gets sick
when it comes to mooching
he's good for beer
he's not tired for that
nor does he have a headache.
Really, what a freeloader
he's a kept man
he eats and dresses from welfare
from what they give to his kids
that's why he lives happily
in the land of the gringos.
His wife works daily
in a fruit packaging plant
that's why she doesn't care
if his wife goes out just for fun
wearing short skirts
I confess I like it.
He really has a thick skin
like an armadillo
his wife gives him ten dollars
to take care of the kids
she goes out to have fun
every Saturday and Sunday.
Really, what a freeloader
he's a kept man
his wife already kicked him out
but José hasn't left
it doesn't matter if you make me a fool
just keep being with me.
