El Mil Amores

From Altamira, Tamaulipas,
I bring this joyful song
and to the sound of the old violin
I sing a thousand celebrations,
to the beautiful women
who are my adoration;
from Altamira, Tamaulipas,
I bring this joyful song.

If life is a garden,
women are the flowers,
the man is the gardener
who cuts the best ones;
I have no preference
for any of the flowers,
I like to cut from all,
I like to be a thousand loves.

Blessed is he who gets married
and continues to flirt,
who plays against
hidden from his beloved;
but even more blessed am I
who lack nothing,
I have widows and single women...
and the occasional married one...
