La edad de la mujer
Victor Jara
The Age of Women
The woman who's single at twenty
It's because she fell off the roof.
The woman who's thirty and has no boyfriend
It's because she locked her desk.
(This lesson was taught to me by an aunt of mine
Who used to say: 'hope
Is the last thing you lose'...
And she died single, imagine that.)
The woman who's forty and not married
It's because her room is empty.
The woman who's fifty and wants to be alone
It's because her pot has cooled down.
