¡Por favor, lárgueme agente!
No me haga pasar vergüenza.
Yo soy un hombre decente,
se lo puedo garantir.
He tenido un mal momento
al toparme a esa malvada,
mas no pienso hacerle nada,
¡Para qué! Ya se ha muerto para mí.

Un tropezón
cualquiera da en la vida,
y el corazón
aprende así a vivir.

D'entre su barro la saqué un día
y con amor la quise hasta mi altar.
Pero bien dicen que la cabra al monte tira
y una vez más razón tuvo el refrán.
Fui un gran otario para esos vivos,
pobres donjuanes de cabaret,
fui un gran otario porque la quise
como ellos nunca podrán querer.

Lléveme nomás agente,
es mejor que no me largue.
No quiera Dios que me amargue
recordando su traición.
Y olvidándome de todo
a mi corazón me entregue
y al volverla a ver me ciegue,
y ahí nomás...
¡Lléveme, será mejor!

English translation

Please, get rid of me, officer!
Don't embarrass me.
I am a decent man,
I can guarantee it.
I've had a bad time
when I ran into that wicked woman,
but I'm not going to do anything to her,
What's the use! She's already dead to me.

A stumble
anyone can stumble in life,
and the heart
thus learns to live.

I pulled her out of her mud one day
and with love I loved her to my altar.
But it is well said that the goat is a goat to the mountain
and once again the saying was right.
I was a great opponent for those living,
poor cabaret donjuanes,
I was a great fool because I loved her
as they will never be able to love.

Just take me away, officer,
it's better that I don't leave.
God forbid that I should become bitter
remembering your betrayal.
And forgetting everything
I give myself to my heart
and when I see her again I'll be blinded,
and there and then...
Take me away, it will be better!
