Amores Viejos

Those veteran chicks
who never complained,
were content without eating
even if the hunger bit;
living in a hovel,
having a tough life,
with a poor woman
who lacked a mattress.

How many times the bitter mate
duped the stomach,
and many days went by
without anything to eat;
the poor woman was the comfort
in those bitter moments,
that due to misfortune
had to be endured.

Those chicks no longer exist
who were satisfied
with what their friend gave them
being a true friend;
today they only want dresses
and very rich jewels,
a carriage with a low top
for a ride around the city.
