Buenas noches Don David ¿Cómo le va?
Good evening, Mr. David, how are you doing?
Buenas noches Doña Marta es un placer
Good evening, Mrs. Marta, it's a pleasure.
Si me he vestido de negro no es por luto créanme
If I'm dressed in black, it's not for mourning, believe me.
Aunque si esto no es la muerte se le ha de parecer
Though if this isn't death, it must resemble it.
Le aceptaría Doña Marta un cafecito de preferencia bien cargado
Would you accept a little coffee, Mrs. Marta, preferably strong?
Debería tomarse Don David algo fuertecito para que esté más relajado
Mr. David, you should have something strong to feel more relaxed.
No frunza el ceño Don David
Don't frown, Mr. David.
No me odie antes de tiempo y dígame
Don't hate me before the time and tell me,
¿Cómo está el trabajo Don David?
How's work, Mr. David?
¿Qué hay de la economía?
What about the economy?
¿Cómo anda el futbol?
How's the football going?
Cuente Doña Marta lo que quiera si quiere hablar de la cocina
Let Doña Marta say whatever she wants if she wants to talk about the kitchen.
Digan algo por favor para no ir directo al punto
Please say something so we don't go straight to the point.
Se preguntaran qué diablos hago aquí
You might be wondering what the hell I'm doing here.
Toda una vida de vecino y nunca vine a visitar
A whole life as a neighbor and I never came to visit.
Pues resulta que este humilde servidor
Well, it turns out this humble servant
Se ha enamorado de Martita su hija la menor
Has fallen in love with Martita, her youngest daughter.
Le suplicaría antentamente Don David no meta a mi madre en esto
I would kindly ask you, Don David, not to involve my mother in this.
Se bien la fama que ma han dado de truan
I know well the reputation they've given me as a rogue.
Pero juro que esto es honesto
But I swear this is honest.
No se levante Don David
Don't get up, Mr. David
No me odie antes de tiempo y dígame
Don't hate me too soon, just tell me
¿Cómo esta el traguito Don David?
How's the drink, Mr. David?
Tómese otro poquito
Have another little sip
Salud por la familia
Cheers to the family
Qué bonita casa Doña Marta ¿fue idea suya las cortinas?
What a lovely house, Mrs. Marta, was the idea for the curtains yours?
Siéntense y relájense que esto está solo que empieza
Sit back and relax, this is just getting started
Me enamoré de ella qué quieren que les diga si me enamoré
I fell in love with her, what do you want me to say, I fell in love
Se enamoró de mí qué quieren que haga si se enamoró
She fell in love with me, what do you want me to do, she fell in love
Nos enamoramos
We fell in love
Sé que no he sido un ejemplo pero me enamoré
I know I haven't been a good example, but I fell in love
Todo empezó aquel martes a las tres
It all started that Tuesday at three
Ella iba a la escuela y la encontré en la estación
She was on her way to school, and I found her at the station
Era apenas una niña semanas atrás
She was barely a girl just weeks ago
Y la descubrí mujer entre un vestido café
And I discovered her a woman in a brown dress
No fué facil conquistarla Don David
It wasn't easy to win her over, Don David
La perseguí por todos lados
I chased her everywhere
Y entre más difícil se ponía Don David yo más enamorado
And the more difficult it got, Don David, the more in love I became
Ya no me grite Don David
Please don't shout at me, Don David
No me odie antes de tiempo y sepa usted que estoy orgulloso Don David
Don't hate me too soon, and know that I'm proud, Don David
De la hija que ha formado
Of the daughter that has been raised
Una dama hecha y derecha
A true lady, made and right
Que además de ser hermosa es mujer como ninguna
Who, besides being beautiful, is a woman like no other
Se parece a Doña Marta con todo respeto
She resembles Doña Marta, with all due respect
Me enamoré de ella qué quieren que les diga si me enamoré
I fell in love with her, what do you want me to say if I fell in love?
Se enamoró de mí
She fell in love with me
Qué quieren que haga si se enamoró
What do you want me to do if she fell in love?
Nos enamoramos
We fell in love
Sé que no he sido un ejemplo pero me enamoré
I know I haven't been a good example, but I fell in love
Antes de que yo me largue como es su voluntad
Before I leave, as she wishes
Sepa usted que si me largo ella se viene de una vez
You should know that if I leave, she'll be right behind me,
Porque fruto del amor que nos tenemos
Because we have a love that is so strong,
Martita y yo
Martita and I,
Pronto seremos, tres
Soon we will be three.
