Translation of the song lyrics Juan y María - Jairo, Juan Carlos Baglietto

Juan y María (original)

Ahora yo era el héroe
Y mi caballo sólo hablaba ingles
La novia del cowboy
Eras tú, aparte de otras tres
Yo enfrentaba un batallón
Un alemán y su cañon
Guardaba mis bolitas
Y ensayaba un rock
Para las matinés
Ahora yo era un rey
Un alguacíl y era tambien un juez
Y por mi propia ley
La gente era obligada a ser feliz
También tu eras princesa que hice coronar
Eras tan linda, digna de admirar
Que ibas desnuda por todo el país
No, no huyas, no
Finge que ahora yo era tu jugete
Yo era tuyo, yo, tu bicho preferido
Ven, dame una mano
Sueña que ahora no teniamos miedo
En la epoca de la maldad
Creo que nosotros ni habíamos nacido
Ahora era fatal
Que el haz de cuenta
Terminará asi
Fuera de este jardín
Era una noche que no tiene fin
Pues te fuiste de mi vida
Asi, sin avisar
Y ahora yo era un loco al preguntar
Que es lo que el mundo
Va a hacer de mi

Juan y María (translation)

Now I was the hero
And my horse only spoke English
The Cowboy's Bride
It was you, apart from three others
I was facing a battalion
A German and his cannon
He kept my little balls
and rehearsed a rock
for matinees
Now I was a king
A bailiff and he was also a judge
And by my own law
People were forced to be happy
You were also a princess that I had crowned
You were so pretty, worthy of admiration
That you were naked all over the country
No, don't run away, no
Pretend that now I was your toy
I was yours, I, your favorite bug
come give me a hand
Dream that now we were not afraid
In the time of wickedness
I think we were not even born
now it was fatal
that he makes account
It will end like this
out of this garden
It was a night that has no end
Well, you left my life
So, without warning
And now I was a fool to ask
What is the world
It's going to make me
