Lyrics
Portero suba y dígale a esa ingrata
que aquí la espero, que no me voy
sin antes reprocharle cara a cara
el mal que ha hecho en mi vida su traición.
No tema ¿no me ve que estoy tranquilo?
si la he seguido para saber
si es cierto que arrastraba mi cariño
con esos niños en esta garçoniere.

Y diga a esos maulas
sotretas sin nombre,
que aquí hay un hombre
si tienen valor.
Y dígale amigo
que aquí yo la espero
que aquí yo me muero
por ella de amor.

Dos años han pasado desde el día 
en que llorando llegó hasta mí;
dos años que luché para salvarla,
para vestirla y pa’hacerla feliz.
Y todo para qué, si es pa’matarla
para burlarse de mi pasión.
Portero suba y dígale a esa ingrata
que yo he venido a cobrarle su traición.
English translation
Doorman, go upstairs and tell that ungrateful girl
that I'm waiting for her here, that I'm not leaving
without first reproaching her face to face
the evil that her treachery has done in my life.
Don't be afraid, can't you see that I am calm?
I have followed you to find out
if it is true that you dragged my affection
with those children in this garçoniere.

And say to those maulas
sotretas without name
that here is a man
if they have courage.
And tell them friend
that I'm waiting for you here
that here I'm dying
for her of love.

Two years have passed since the day
when she came to me crying;
two years that I fought to save her,
to dress her and to make her happy.
And all for what, if it's to kill her
to make fun of my passion.
Doorman, go upstairs and tell that ungrateful girl
that I've come to collect for her betrayal.
