Me llego a los aparejos
I came to the rigging
El agua de una mujer
The water of a woman
Que es como la mar de buena
Who is as good as the sea
Y anda como un alma en pena
And walks like a soul in torment
Por culpa de mi querer
Because of my desire
Yo no puedo ni mirarle,
I can't even look at her,
Porque yo no siento amarle
Because I don't feel love for her
Y ella lo sabe muy bien
And she knows it very well
Padre dame tu consejo
Father, give me your advice
Porque hasta el sol de hoy no dejo
Because until this day, I haven't stopped
De mirarla padecer
Watching her suffer
Ella sabe que no puedo darle
She knows I can't give her
Cuanto ella me pide, se enamora
Everything she asks, she falls in love
Y se ilusiona cada vez más se apasiona
And gets more hopeful, more passionate each time
Y así, si, si sigue, sigue
And so, yes, yes keep going, keep going
Ella jura y me perjura
She swears and declares to me
Que el amarme le hace bien
That loving me does her good
Que de enero hasta diciembre
From January to December
Va quererme así por siempre y
She will love me this way forever and
Para amar ya tengo a quien
To love, I already have someone
Yo no puedo ni mirarle
I can't even look at her
Porque yo no siento amarle
Because I don't feel love for her
Y ella, lo sabe muy bien
And she knows it very well
Sálvame de estos andares
Save me from this wandering
Antes que nade en los mares
Before I drown in the seas
Del agua de esa mujer
Of the water of that woman
Ella sabe que no puedo darle
She knows I can't give her
Cuanto ella me pide, se enamora
Everything she asks, she falls in love
Y se ilusiona cada vez más se apasiona
And gets more hopeful, more passionate each time
Y así, si, si sigue, sigue
And so, yes, yes keep going, keep going
Ella jura y me perjura
She swears and declares to me
Que el amarme le hace bien
That loving me does her good
Que de enero hasta diciembre
From January to December
Va quererme así por siempre
She will love me this way forever
Y para amar ya tengo a quien
And to love, I already have someone
Yo no puedo ni mirarle
I can't even look at her
Porque yo no siento amarle
Because I don't feel love for her
Y ella lo sabe muy bien
And she knows it very well
Sálvame de estos andares
Save me from this wandering
Antes que nade en los mares
Before I drown in the seas
¡Ay! Del agua de esa mujer
Oh! Of the water of that woman
