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
But for me, what matters is the person

It doesn't matter if she's old
An old pot is what makes good food
It doesn't matter if she's old
An old pot is what makes good food

A young girl is nice but scary
No secrets and talks too much
I only trust a woman over thirty
Being distinguished, we make mistakes, she forgives

It's worth the effort, 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
It doesn't matter if she's old
An old pot is what makes good food

Our life begins at forty
Born in plans for people's future
Those who marry young soon get divorced
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
It doesn't matter if she's old
An old pot is what makes good food

I'll get married to earn your affection
Living alone, we get disheartened
And a gaucho without a woman is worth nothing
It's like a fish living out of the pond

I'm determined to 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
It doesn't matter if she's old
An old pot is what makes good food
