Lyrics
No pises el cotorro
que no te puedo ver.
No ves que hasta vergüenza
me da ser tu mujer.
Yo quiero, pa' que sepas
tener siempre a mi lado
a un hombre bien templado,
no a un maula como vos.
A un hombre que se juegue,
si llega la ocasión,
la vida en una carta,
sin sentir emoción.
A un hombre que sea hombre
y sepa responder
y no llore cobarde,
igual que una mujer.

Maula
que ante el insulto callaste.
Maula
que cobarde te achicaste.
Maula
que sólo te creés valiente
cuando una noche de farra
te ves enfrente de una mujer.

La barra del boliche
borracha de pernod
mi nombre que es el tuyo
por el suelo arrastró
y vos que de una mesa
oíste aquella infamia
bajaste la cabeza,
cobarde, sin chistar.
Al verte tan compadre,
con tu aire de matón,
te juro por mi madre
te tengo compasión.
No vuelvas al cotorro,
porque mi corazón,
se ha hecho para un hombre
y vos no sos varón.
English translation
Don't step on the parrot
I can't see you.
Don't you see that I'm even ashamed
I'm ashamed to be your wife.
I want, so that you know
to always have by my side
a well-tempered man,
not a maula like you.
A man who will take a gamble,
if the occasion arises,
his life on a card,
without feeling emotion.
To a man who is a man
and knows how to respond
and not cry cowardly,
just like a woman.

Maula
that before the insult you kept silent.
Maula
you were so cowardly you shrank.
Maula
you only think you're brave
when one night out
you see yourself in front of a woman.

The bar at the bowling alley
drunk on pernod
my name which is yours
dragged on the floor
and you who from a table
heard that infamy
you lowered your head,
cowardly, without a murmur.
Seeing you so compadre,
with your thuggish air,
I swear by my mother
I have compassion for you.
Don't go back to the blabbermouth,
because my heart,
was made for a man
and you are not a man.
