Una Mujer De La Vida [English translation]

I was in love with a woman

a woman of life

I was young, I was a baby

I knew nothing of the world

I met her in a cabaret

she was a dancer

and I innocent fell in love

with that good for nothing

When I wanted to take her to a place

she said she was very expensive

that I also had to pay

what other men paid

I sold my soul and I even robbed

just to hug her

but I never, never could

because she didn't do discounts

But life has suprises

and time passes by

today she called at my door

asking me to help her

she's not even the ghost of what she was

her skin is now shabby

there's sadness in her look

and a tear in her smile

but she's still keeping at it

like a soldier on a battle

because everything has a price

at three in the morning

And whether rain or snow falls

whether is cold or warm

she always waits willing

every night and morning

that's why she came to see me

that's why she's been in my house

to tell me that now

she can do me a discount
