[English]

Even if it hurts me more than it hurts you

I already have my suitcase packed

Because my way of living

Is not worthy of a princess

Even if it hurts me more than it hurts you

Darling, I don't deserve you

Because all I can give you

Are bad times and torment

And what am I supposed to do?

If the poison of music

I carry in my skin

And what am I supposed to do?

If I don't know how to do anything else in life

I already don't know how to do

I swear to you that I adore you

But

Find yourself a man who loves you

Who will keep your fridge full

Look at me, don't you see I'm a musician

And I don't have a wallet

And when I have, I spend it

On a new guitar

Find yourself a man who loves you

Who will keep your fridge full

Look at me, don't you see I'm flamenco

That the street was my school

And my heart is dying of love

For the full moon

...

Even if it hurts me more than it hurts you

I have the bills in my hand

I must get on the bus

I've been honked at a couple of times

If you want, come with me

But don't ask me where

I always go adrift

Where the chords take me

And what am I supposed to do?

If the poison of music

I carry in my skin

And what am I supposed to do?

If I don't know how to do anything else in life

I already don't know how to do

I swear to you that I adore you

But

Find yourself a man who loves you

Who will keep your fridge full

Look at me, don't you see I'm a musician

And I don't have a wallet

And when I have, I spend it

On a new guitar

Find yourself a man who loves you

Who will keep your fridge full

Look at me, don't you see I'm flamenco

That the street was my school

And my heart is dying of love

For the full moon

...

And what am I supposed to do?

If the poison of music

I carry in my skin

And what am I supposed to do?

If I don't know how to do anything else in life

I already don't know how to do

I swear to you that I adore you

But

Find yourself a man who loves you

Who will keep your fridge full

Look at me, don't you see I'm a musician

And I don't have a wallet

And when I have, I spend it

On a new guitar

Find yourself a man who loves you

Who will keep your fridge full

Look at me, don't you see I'm flamenco

That the street was my school

And my heart is dying of love

For the full moon, oh

...

[Spanish]

Aunque me duela más que a ti

Ya tengo echa la maleta

Porque mi forma de vivir

No es digna para una princesa

Aunque me duela más que a ti

Canija, yo no te merezco

Que yo tan solo puedo darte

Malos ratos y tormentos

¿Y qué le voy ha hacer?

Si el veneno de la música

Llevo en mi piel

¿Y qué le voy ha hacer?

Si otra cosa en la vida

Yo ya no sé hacer

Yo te juro que te adoro

Pero

Búscate un hombre que te quiera

Que te tenga llenita la nevera

Mírame, no ves que soy un músico

Y que no tiene chuquera

Y cuando tengo, me las gasto

En una guitarra nueva

Búscate un hombre que te quiera

Que te tenga llenita la nevera

Mírame, no ves que soy flamenco

Que la calle fue mi escuela

Y mi corazón se muere de amor

Por la luna llena

Aunque me duela más que a ti

Tengo en la mano los billetes

Debo subir al autobús

Ya me han pitado un par de veces

Si quieres acompáñame

Pero no me preguntes dónde

Yo siempre voy a la deriva

Donde me llevan los acordes

¿Y qué le voy ha hacer?

Si el veneno de la música

Llevo en mi piel

¿Y qué le voy ha hacer?

Si otra cosa en la vida

Yo ya no sé hacer

Yo te juro que te adoro

Pero

Búscate un hombre que te quiera

Que te tenga llenita la nevera

Mírame, no ves que soy un músico

Que no tiene chuquera

Y que cuando tengo, me las gasto

En una guitarra nueva

Búscate un hombre que te quiera

Que te tenga llenita la nevera

Mírame, no ves que soy falamenco

Que la calle fue mi escuela

Y mi corazón se muere de amor

Por la luna llena

¿Y qué le voy ha hacer?

Si el veneno de la música

Llevo en mi piel

¿Y qué le voy ha hacer?

Si otra cosa en la vida

Yo ya no sé hacer

Yo te juro que te adoro

Pero

Búscate un hombre que te quiera

Que te tenga llenita la nevera

Mírame, no ves que soy un músico

Que no tiene chuquera

Y cuando tengo, me las gasto

En una guitarra nueva

Búscate un hombre que te quiera

Que te tenga llenita la nevera

Mírame, no ves que soy falamenco

Que la calle fue mi escuela

Y mi corazón se muere de amor

Por la luna llena, aay
