Translation of the song lyrics Secretaria - Mocedades

Secretaria (original)

Secretaria
La que no habla
Siempre atenta
Diciendo nada
Te firmé mis veinte años
Te ayudé a subir peldaños
Y entre copa y copa me hice necesaria
Y al negarme a ser amable
Me ignoraste y sólo fuí tu secretaria
Hemos compartido juntos
Tus fracasos y tus triunfos
Y hasta creo haber tejido yo tus canas
Pero allá a las siete en punto
Tú te ibas con los tuyos, yo a mi casa
Fuí también la celestina
De tus citas clandestinas
Y aprendí a estar bien callada
Luego un guiño de malicia
Una caricia de cumplido
Y un gentil «hasta mañana.»
Era yo quien escogía
Las flores que cada día
Enviabas a tus jóvenes amadas
Era yo quien te firmaba las tarjetas
Hasta en eso, secretaria
Fuí también la celestina
De tus citas clandestinas
Y aprendí a estar bien callada
Luego un guiño de malicia
Una caricia de cumplido
Y un gentil «hasta mañana.»
Secretaria, secretaria
La que escucha, escribe y calla
La que hizo de un despacho tu morada
Casi esposa, buen soldado, enfermera
Y un poquito enamorada
Casi esposa, buen soldado, enfermera
Y un poquito enamorada

Secretaria (translation)

Secretary
The one who doesn't speak
always attentive
saying nothing
I signed my twenty years
I helped you climb steps
And between drinks and drinks I made myself necessary
And by refusing to be kind
You ignored me and I was just your secretary
we have shared together
Your failures and your triumphs
And I even think I've woven your gray hair
But there at seven o'clock
You went with yours, I went to my house
I was also the matchmaker
of your clandestine dates
And I learned to be very quiet
Then a malicious wink
A caress of compliment
And a gentle "see you tomorrow."
I was the one who chose
The flowers that every day
You sent your young lovers
I was the one who signed your cards
Until then, secretary
I was also the matchmaker
of your clandestine dates
And I learned to be very quiet
Then a malicious wink
A caress of compliment
And a gentle "see you tomorrow."
secretary, secretary
The one who listens, writes and is silent
The one that made an office your home
Almost wife, good soldier, nurse
and a little in love
Almost wife, good soldier, nurse
and a little in love
