I Don't Play in the Mud

No Le Hago Al Barro

I looked at my girlfriendMire a mi novia
Bored and sadAburrida y triste
And I invited her out.Y la invite a salir.

I told her how much I loved herLe dije cuanto la quería
And I wanted my loveY mi amor le quise
To make her feel.Hacer sentir.

I said:Le dije:
"my dear love,"amorcito mio,
I want to see you smile."Quiero verte sonreir."

I would give everythingDaría todo
So that by my sidePorque a mi lado
You would be very happy.Fueras muy feliz.

But her pensive facePero su cara pensativa
Couldn't be removedNo se le podía quitar
I invited her to the movies,La invite al cine,
A nice dinner, and even dancing.Una buena cena y hasta bailar.

So expensive everythingTan caro todo
In my pocketEn mi bolsillo
There wasn't a penny left.No quedaba un quinto ya.

And finally my girlfriendY al fin mi novia
Says: "I thinkDice: "pienso que
We should get married."Nos debemos casar."

I don't play in the mudNo le hago al barro
Because I get dirty, no, no. (2 times)Porque me embarro, no, no. (2 veces)

I was alreadySi yo ya estaba
Very decidedMuy decidido
But then came the devaluationPero llego la devaluación
Today with my salaryHoy con mi sueldo
I can't even afford a melon.Ya no me alcanza ni pa' un melón.

I don't play in the mudNo le hago al barro
Because I get dirty, no, no. (2 times)Porque me embarro, no, no. (2 veces)

I have always saidYo siempre he dicho
That the little bulls from far awayQue los toritos de lejecitos
Look better.Se ven mejor.

I leave you the nameLes dejo el nombre
Of a pushoverDe mandilón
I am a bachelor.Yo soy solterón.

But her pensive facePero su cara pensativa
Couldn't be removedNo se le podía quitar
I invited her to the movies...(etc.)La invite al cine...(etc.)
