Tanguillos de La Defensa

With due respect
And humbly I explain to you
And to all the company what happened that night
When I was coming to Madrid fulfilling my duty

I was singing joyfully
But don't think the room thought I was drunk
And coming out of a curve, I ran into her
A drunk doesn't brake and I did

In the middle of the asphalt, may Saint Ana help me
She was lying there, like a frog
I jumped down and went to her
I saw she was alive, I thanked my lucky star

And Gracita said to me: Damn my luck
I've been run over, I'm Death's bride
I lifted her into the cab, my intention was pure
And I left her on a corner and said: Go with God, countrywoman
By the divine shepherdess, I've treated her like my sister

I solemnly swear, as the scriptures demand
That I'm innocent of this mess
That creature is lying
Just like Eve lied

Since the world began
Females have sought us males
Gentlemen, the temptations
If you remember history, you'll understand
I'm going through the same as Father Adam

When they see an opportunity and forgive me
They come for you like a pack
And since I have my life sorted out
Those leeches try to get the best of me

If for being good and honest and giving blood to anyone
And fulfilling what's required of me to help on the road
I could end up condemned and locked up like a beast
I swear, Mr. Lawyer, whether it fits or not in this way
I won't even stop for my father, even if I see his guts outside
I won't even stop for my father, even if I see his guts outside
