Lyrics of La Cortina - La Sonora Dinamita, Margarita

La Cortina (original)

Esta muchacha me dijo, que la mama le dio un consejo
El dia que quiera casarse, que se case con un viejo
Porque el viejo si va a la calle, me tra guanava, me tra manzanas
Cuando regresa viene estropado, viene canzado, y es a dormir en segida
Pero el joven se va de rumba, no me tra nada, a media noche viene boracho
Como es el chacho a penas llega, es levantando la cortina
Ay, es levantando la cortina, es levantando la cortina
Es levantando la cortina, Ay, es levantando la cortina
«Margarita, te casas conmigo?»
«Si mi viejito lindo, mas lindo, si me llevas a bailar con La
Sonora Dinamita.
««A bueno.»
Aunque la gente comente, me dijo la seorita
Si me caso con un viejo, sarna con gusto no pica
Sarna con gusto no pica, si pica no mortifica
Fue la prose que me dijo, lastima la seorita
Porque el viejo me lleva al cine, si va a la fiesta tambien me lleva
Si toma trago viene mariado, cuando regresa, es a dormir ensiguida
Pero el otro es a lo contrario, si va a la fiesta nunca me lleva, si en luna
'Miel que estamos pasando como este chacho apenas llega, es levantando la
Cortina
Ay, es levantando la cortina, es levantando la cortina
Ay, es levantando la cortina, es levantando la cortina, Ay…

(translation)

This girl told me that her mom gave her some advice
The day she wants to get married, she marries an old man
Because if the old man goes to the street, he brings me guanava, he brings me apples
When he comes back he is damaged, he is exhausted, and he goes to sleep right away
But the young man goes out partying, he doesn't bring me anything, at midnight he comes drunk
Since he is the boy, as soon as he arrives, he is raising the curtain
Ay, he's raising the curtain, he's raising the curtain
He's raising the curtain, oh, he's raising the curtain
"Margarita, will you marry me?"
«Yes, my handsome old man, more handsome, if you take me to dance with La
Dynamite sound.
""Oh good."
Although people comment, the lady told me
If I marry an old man, scabies gladly does not itch
Scabies gladly does not itch, if it itches it does not mortify
It was the prose that he told me, it hurts the lady
Because the old man takes me to the movies, if he goes to the party he takes me too
If he has a drink he comes home drunk, when he comes back he goes to sleep right away
But the other is the opposite, if he goes to the party he never takes me, if on the moon
'Honey we're passing as this guy barely arrives, he's raising his
Curtain
Ay, he's raising the curtain, he's raising the curtain
Ay, it's raising the curtain, it's raising the curtain, Ay...
