A Traditional "Cuban Son" with amusing lyrics about this guy's mother in law who interferes with everything in their lives.
" La suegra" (the mother in law)
I'm not lying when I tell you this,
honestly, I'm sincere,
when I got home from work
I realised my mother in law is into everything
It's true what they say about mother in laws
Mine is just the same
I go to a party with friends
and there she is, dancing and drinking til late
She's just always there
In what I'm going to tell you, I'll tell you, gentlemen, there's no deception, there's no lie, I'm a sincere man. I was returning from work, when the day was ending and that's when I realized, I say this for my own, that in everything one invents, the mother-in-law is involved. VOICE 1: Oh, what's up with mothers-in-law? What's up with mine? CHORUS: That wherever she is she's involved VOICE 1: That's why sometimes they don't respect her CHORUS: Because she puts her spoon in everything VOICE 1: Oh, what's up with mothers-in-law? What's up with mine? CHORUS: That wherever she is she is involved VOICE 1: That's why sometimes they don't respect her, no CHORUS: Because she sticks her nose in everything If I go to a party, at my friends' houses I don't know how my mother-in-law always finds me really late I was drinking, dancing in the disco suddenly my mother-in-law said, I'll find you wherever you go VOICE 1: Oh, what's up with mothers-in-law? What's up with mine? CHORUS: That wherever she is she is involved VOICE 1: That's why sometimes they don't respect her CHORUS: Because she sticks her nose in everything VOICE 1: Oh, what's up with mothers-in-law? What's up with mine? CHORUS: That wherever she is she is involved VOICE 1: That's why sometimes they don't respect her, no CHORUS: Because she sticks her nose in everything VOICE 1: How my mother-in-law loves me, her affection is so deep, that she wants to give me passage so I can travel to the other world. She's driving me to the abyss, and I'm not far behind, I've already gotten her a visa, so she won't come back VOICE 1: She's got me half crazy and embarrassed CHORUS: That's why my mother-in-law has me tired VOICE 1: I speak to her with affection and she looks at me crossly CHORUS: That's why my mother-in-law has me tired VOICE 1: Oh, she's got me half crazy, she's cornered CHORUS: That's why my mother-in-law has me tired VOICE 1: She touches my pockets and asks if I've been paid CHORUS: That's why my mother-in-law has me tired that's why my mother-in-law has me tired, that's why my mother-in-law has me tired, that's why my mother-in-law has me tired. that's why my mother-in-law tires me out VOICE 1: When I come home from work very late and exhausted CHORUS: That's why my mother-in-law tires me out VOICE 1: She picks up my shoes and puts them somewhere else CHORUS: That's why my mother-in-law tires me out VOICE 1: And I don't know how long my poor marriage has lasted CHORUS: That's why my mother-in-law tires me out VOICE 1: Because that old woman thinks I married her CHORUS: That's why my mother-in-law tires me out.
En lo que voy a contarles,
se lo digo, caballeros
no hay engaño, no hay mentira,
yo soy un hombre sincero.
Regresaba del trabajo,
cuando se acababa el día
y fue cuando me di cuenta,
yo lo digo por la mía
que en todo lo que uno inventa,
esta la suegra metida.
VOZ 1: ¿Ay, qué pasa con las suegras?
¿qué pasa con la mía?
CORO: Que donde quiera ella esta metida
VOZ 1: Por eso a veces no la respetan
CORO: Porque en todo mete la cuchareta
VOZ 1: ¿Ay, qué pasa con las suegras?
¿qué pasa con la mía?
CORO: Que donde quiera ella está metida
VOZ 1: Por eso a veces no la respetan, no
CORO: Porque en todo mete la cuchareta
Si me voy para una fiesta,
en casa de mis amigos
no sé cómo hace mi suegra
para siempre dar conmigo
bien tarde estaba tomando,
bailando en la discoteca
de pronto dijo mi suegra,
te encuentro donde te metas
VOZ 1: ¿Ay, qué pasa con las suegras?
¿qué pasa con la mía?
CORO: Que donde quiera ella está metida
VOZ 1: Por eso a veces no la respetan
CORO: Porque en todo mete la cuchareta
VOZ 1: ¿Ay, qué pasa con las suegras?
¿qué pasa con la mía?
CORO: Que donde quiera ella está metida
VOZ 1: Por eso a veces no la respetan, no
CORO: Porque en todo mete la cuchareta
VOZ 1: Como me quiere mi suegra,
su cariño es tan profundo,
que quiere darme pasaje
para que viaje al otro mundo.
Me está llevando al abismo,
y yo no me quedo atrás,
ya le conseguí una visa,
para que no regrese más
VOZ 1: Me tiene medio loco y abochornado
CORO: Por eso es que mi suegra me tiene cansado
VOZ 1: Yo le hablo con cariño y me mira atravesado
CORO: Por eso es que mi suegra me tiene cansado
VOZ 1: Ay, me tiene medio loco, me tiene acorralado
CORO: Por eso es que mi suegra me tiene cansado
VOZ 1: Me toca los bolsillos y pregunta si he cobrado
CORO: Por eso es que mi suegra me tiene cansado
por eso es que mi suegra me tiene cansado,
por eso es que mi suegra me tiene cansado,
por eso es que mi suegra me tiene cansado.
por eso es que mi suegra me tiene cansado
VOZ 1: Cuando llego del trabajo muy tarde y agotado
CORO: Por eso es que mi suegra me tiene cansado
VOZ 1: Recoge mis zapatos y los pone en otro lado
CORO: Por eso es que mi suegra me tiene cansado
VOZ 1: Y mi pobre matrimonio no sé cómo ha durado
CORO: Por eso es que mi suegra me tiene cansado
VOZ 1: Porque esa vieja cree que con ella me he casado
CORO: Por eso es que mi suegra me tiene cansado.
