El Mil Amores

From Altamira, Tamaulipas
I bring this joyful song
And to the tune of the old violin
And jarana I sing

For the beautiful women
Who are my admiration
From Altamira, Tamaulipas
I bring this joyful song

Blessed is the married man
Who plays around
He's always playing dirty
Behind his beloved's back

But even more blessed am I
Who doesn't lack anything
I have widows and single ladies
And the occasional married one

If life is a garden
Women are the flowers
The man is the gardener
Who picks the best

I have no preference
For any of the flowers
I like to pick from all
I like to be a thousand loves
