Letra del Vals Mamá yo quiero casarme

Soltero y sin amor yo viví,
Ternura de un cariño que no conocí,
Y en esta soledad quiero ver
El rayo luminoso de un nuevo querer.
Pero lo he de lograr; yo no sé,
Dónde está la mujer,
Que atesore la felicidad
Y que sepa mi amor comprender.

Mamá, yo quiero casarme
Esta vida, así no puede seguir,
Mamá, yo quiero casarme
Si no pronto yo voy a morir.
Las chicas van a matarme
Si, viejita, usted no me hace casar.
Mamá, yo quiero casarme
O si no, yo haré una barbaridad,
Por aquí… uy
Por allá… uy
En la calle no puedo mirar,
Hay que ver…
Cómo van…
Tentación por aquí y por allá.

Antaño yo pensé, que el amor
Era una cosa ideal, pura imaginación.
Pero ahora, yo no sé qué será
Lo que me hace estas cosas pensar.
No puedo ni salir a pasear
Por temor de estallar,
Si me duele el pescuezo y los ojos
De tanto mirar y mirar.

English lyrics of the Vals "Mamá yo quiero casarme"

I lived single and without love,
The tenderness of affection I knew not,
And in this solitude, I seek to see
The bright flash of a new desire.
But to achieve it, I know not how,
Where is the woman,
Who treasures happiness
And can understand my love.

Mom, I want to marry
Life like this can’t go on,
Mom, I want to marry
Or else I soon might die.
The girls will kill me
If, mom, you don’t get me married.
Mom, I want to marry
Or else, I’ll do something outrageous,
Over here… uh
Over there… uh
On the street, I cannot even look,
Just see…
How they are…
Temptations everywhere.

Once I thought, that love
Was an ideal thing, mere imagination.
But now, I can’t figure out what it is
That makes me think these thoughts.
I can’t even go out for a walk
For fear of losing control,
My neck and eyes ache
From looking and looking.
