Lyrics
Tanto tiempo que ha corrido por el Premio Matrimonio
Por pescar un buen marido y poderse jubilar,
Tiene agua en las rodillas por rezarle a San Antonio
Y ensayó veinte maneras de poder adelgazar.
Tuvo siempre preparada la ropita en el armario
Perfumada con lavanda, porque infunde castidad,
Cien recetas de cocina que dictaban por la radio
Y un muñeco malcriado de un bazar de caridad.
 
Yo no sé qué pasó,
Que el marido tan ansiado,
Le ha salido más cansado
Que un mateo de estación.
Yo no sé qué pasó,
Tanto “chic” en la vidriera,
Y era un género cualquiera
Que al lavarlo se encogió.
 
¡Hay que ver qué final!
El de Norma es una rosa,
Comparado a la baldosa
Que pisó para su mal...
¡Hay que ver qué final!
Si en Cupido hay puntería,
Con su flecha lo metía
En el Tiro Federal.
 
Se levanta más temprano que en los tiempos de soltera
Y no escucha más novelas que la hagan suspirar,
Hoy suspira en la cocina al colgar la espumadera
Y se baila bien el mambo cuando tiene que encerar.
Ya no va por las vidrieras, a mirar los modelitos
Y se ha dado cuatro vueltas al vestido de civil,
Con que “atenti”, compañeras, al pescar el maridito
Porque sale cada bagre que se morfa hasta el piolín.
English translation
So much time she has run for the Marriage Prize
For catching a good husband and being able to retire,
She's got water in her knees from praying to Saint Anthony.
And tried twenty ways to lose weight.
She always had her clothes ready in the closet
Scented with lavender, because it instills chastity,
A hundred cooking recipes dictated by the radio.
And a spoiled doll from a charity bazaar.
 
I don't know what happened,
That the husband so longed for,
He's turned out to be more tired
Than a mateo at the station.
I don't know what happened,
So much "chic" in the shop window,
And it was a random fabric
That when it was washed it shrunk.
 
What an ending!
Norma's is a rose,
Compared to the tile
That she trod on for her wrong...
What an ending!
If in Cupid there is aim,
With his arrow he would put it
In the Tiro Federal.
 
She gets up earlier than when she was a single woman
And no longer listens to novels that make her sigh,
Today she sighs in the kitchen when she hangs up the skimmer...
And dances the mambo when she has to wax.
She doesn't go to the shop windows anymore, to look at the models
And she's been around four times in her civilian dress,
So be careful, my friends, when fishing for the hubby.
Because every catfish that comes out, even the piolín, is bitten.
