| Esta tarde te vi,
| I saw you this afternoon
|
| nerviosa de esperar
| nervous to wait
|
| Por eso me vestí, apenas sin hablar
| That's why I got dressed, hardly speaking
|
| Hoy hace un año ya, que alegre y sin dudar
| A year ago today, how happy and without hesitation
|
| De blanco te lleve, ante el juez del lugar.
| I took you in white, before the local judge.
|
| He mirado el reloj, las ocho van a ser
| I have looked at the clock, it will be eight o'clock
|
| Tu traje no llego, lo esperas desde ayer
| Your suit did not arrive, you have been waiting for it since yesterday
|
| Y el moño que lucir, pretendes hoy mujer
| And the bun that you want to wear today, woman
|
| Con tanto ir y venir, termino por caer.
| With so much coming and going, I end up falling.
|
| Corres vienes y vas, por medio del salón
| You run back and forth, through the hall
|
| Te enciendes más y mas, lo mismo que un ciclón
| You light up more and more, just like a cyclone
|
| Y no sabes que hacer, si reír o llorar
| And you don't know what to do, whether to laugh or cry
|
| Yo cumplo mi deber, yo debo de callar.
| I do my duty, I must keep quiet.
|
| No querrás pretender, que aguarde la función
| You don't want to pretend, wait for the show
|
| Y no podremos ver, ni un acto de malón
| And we will not be able to see, not even an act of malón
|
| Tomando sin tardar, en vuelo un avión

|
| Podríamos llegar, al bajar el telón.
| We could get there, by lowering the curtain.
|
| Buen Aniversario, buen Aniversario.

|
| El vestido llegó, ya puedes respirar
| The dress arrived, you can breathe now
|
| También respiro yo, a punto de estallar

|
| Mas pronto comenzó, un drama singular
| But soon it began, a singular drama
|
| Tu traje no cerró, y te oi sollozar.
| Your suit didn't close, and I heard you sobbing.
|
| A tu espalda corrí, con ganas de ayudar
| I ran behind your back, wanting to help
|
| Tan pálida te vi, como una flor de azar
| I saw you so pale, like a flower of chance
|
| Y el cierre descorrí, mas luego al intentar
| And the closure slipped, but later when trying
|
| Cerrarlo lo partí, ay de mi por piedad
| Close it I split it, woe is me for mercy
|
| A las once por fin, cocido el desgarrón
| At eleven o'clock at last, cooked the tear
|
| Pareces un jazmín envuelta en el bizón
| You look like a jasmine wrapped in the bizon
|
| Tratamos de alcanzar un acto de malón
| We try to reach a malón act
|
| Tan justo que al llegar, termina la función.
| So fair that upon arrival, the function ends.
|
| Donde quieres cenar, muy triste te pedí
| Where do you want to have dinner, very sad I asked you
|
| Tardaste en constestar, diciendo luego así
| You were slow to answer, saying then like this
|
| Prefiero caminar, contigo por París

|
| y luego regresar para ser muy feliz
| and then return to be very happy
|
| Buen aniversario, buen aniversario
| good anniversary, good anniversary
|
| buen aniversario | good anniversary |
