Lyrics of Los Paires Saben Sentir - Violeta Parra

Los Paires Saben Sentir (original)

Los paires saben sentir
Por una hija regalona
De ver que a otra persona
De nuevo vaya a servir
Una hija mandan pedir
Y la maire se dilata
Ya que en ella se retrata
Viendo una hija tan quería
Que si te vis aburría
Cásate, pues, hija ingrata
El hombre como prudente
Le pregunta a su mujer
Que si es de su parecer
No le quitemos su suerte
Será el gusto sus parientes
Dijo la novia acordarse
Como la estrella que nace
Al paire se le previno
Pá que cumpla su destino
De que las mozas se casen
EL joven ya está esperando
La contestación en susto
De que era todo a su gusto
Dijo la maire llorando
Desde que estabai mamando
Hiciste nuestra campaña
Lágrimas de caravaña
Su madre derramará
Por su hija que se le va
Nacía de sus entrañas

(translation)

The paires know how to feel
For a gift daughter
From seeing that to someone else
again go to serve
A daughter sends to ask
And the maire dilates
Since in it is portrayed
Seeing a daughter so loved
That if you saw yourself bored
Marry then, ungrateful daughter
The man as prudent
he asks his wife
What if it is of your opinion
Let's not take away your luck
It will be the taste of your relatives
Said the bride remember
Like the star that is born
Al paire was warned
He wants him to fulfill his destiny
That the girls get married
The young man is already waiting
The response in fright
That everything was to your liking
Said the maire crying
Since I was suckling
you did our campaign
caravan tears
Her mother will shed her
For her daughter of her who is leaving
She was born from her womb
