Translation of the song lyrics Que Le Den Candela - Celia Cruz

Que Le Den Candela (original)

Ese hombre que tu tienes no estan en nada
Que en vez de enamorarte te desgasta, no
Tiene bueno modales, y no es atento contigo
Ese hombre no se merece que le des tanto
Cario
El duerme en la maana y tu trabajas, y luego
Por las noches se te escapa, te exige que tu le laves
Que lo vistas y lo planches, y si a caso tu protestas
Se indigna y quiere pegarte
Que le den candela ay que le den castigo, que lo
Metan en una holla y que se cocine en su vino
Que le den candela, que le den castigo que lo borden
De una cometa y que luego corten el hilo (azucar, azucar)
Ese hombre que tu tienes buena amiga, si yo fuera
Tu le dejaria, las maletas en la puerta y una nota que dijera
Apartir de este momento que te cocine tu abuela
Que le den candela, ay que le den castigo, que lo
Metan en una holla y que se cocine en su vino
Que le den candela, que le den castigo que lo borden
De una cometa y que luego corten el hilo

Que Le Den Candela (translation)

That man that you have is not in anything
That instead of falling in love it wears you out, no
He has good manners, and he is not attentive to you.
That man does not deserve that you give him so much
darling
He sleeps in the morning and you work, and then
At night he escapes you, he demands that you wash him
That you dress it and iron it, and if you protest
He gets angry and wants to hit you
That they give him a candle, and that they give him punishment, that he
Put it in a holla and let it cook in your wine
That they give him a candle, that they give him punishment that they border him
From a kite and then cut the thread (sugar, sugar)
That man that you have a good friend, if I were
You would leave him, the bags at the door and a note that said
From this moment let your grandmother cook for you
Let them give him a candle, oh let them give him punishment, let him
Put it in a holla and let it cook in your wine
That they give him a candle, that they give him punishment that they border him
From a kite and then cut the string
