Lyrics of La Tijera - Carlos Vives

La Tijera (original)

Oyeme morena
No te pongas tan rabiosa
Porque as!
no son las cosas
Para una mujer bonita
Mira que yo quiero
Que tu abuela no lo sepa
Porque si vas a la fiesta
Es para que goces solita
Quiero parrandear en Villanueva
Con una morena bien candela (bis)
Pero si me sales parrandera
Ay quizás
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera morena
Si me sales parrandera
Yo tenia una pena
Pero ya se me ha quitado
Porque estoy enamorado
De una muchachita buena
Es de lo contrario
De lo que me imaginaba
Porque allí donde tu bailas
Dejaras un gran rosario
Pero si me sales parrandera
Dile a tu abuelita que no vea (bis)
Porque si no cae se tambalea
Ay quizás
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera
Te va cortá la tijera morena
Si me sales parrandera.

(translation)

listen to me brunette
Don't be so angry
Why so!
are not the things
for a pretty woman
Look what I want
Don't let your grandmother know
Because if you go to the party
It is for you to enjoy alone
I want to party in Villanueva
With a very hot brunette (bis)
But if you go out partying
oh maybe
The scissors will cut you
The scissors will cut you
The scissors will cut you
The brown scissors will cut you
If you go out partying
I had a pity
But she's already taken from me
Because I'm in love
of a good girl
it is otherwise
than I imagined
Because there where you dance
You will leave a great rosary
But if you go out partying
Tell your granny not to see (bis)
Because if she doesn't fall she stumbles
oh maybe
The scissors will cut you
The scissors will cut you
The scissors will cut you
The brown scissors will cut you
If you go out partying.
