I'm dating a single lady,
The beauty wants to be my boss,
My relatives are already criticizing me
They're saying she's too old,
She's mature, she's over thirty years old
But for me what matters is the person,
It doesn't matter if she's old
An old pot is what makes good food

A young girl is very nice but it's scary
There's no secret and she talks too much
I only trust a woman over thirty
Being distinguished, she forgives our mistakes,
For perfection, she can be of any race
Be African, Italian, or German,
It doesn't matter if she's old
An old pot is what makes good food

Our life begins at forty years old
Plans for the person's future are born
Those who marry early soon get separated
Because married life sometimes gets boring
A housewife must be a mature woman
Otherwise, problems pile up
It doesn't matter if she's old
An old pot is what makes good food

I'm getting married to earn your affection
Living alone is unsettling
And a gaucho without a woman is worth nothing
It's like a fish living out of the pond
I'm determined, I'll go against my relatives
Those people who talk too much
It doesn't matter if she's old
An old pot is what makes good food
