Lyrics and translation Los Embajadores Vallenatos - Jaque al Rey

Jaque al Rey

Amigo perdona lo que digo,
Pero es que tu mujer es demasiado linda.

Disculpa si me ves tan sincero,
Pero es que ya no puedo hablarte mas mentiras.

Hace bastante tiempo que venias peleando con ella,
Mientras que te emborrachabas en mi desahogaba sus penas.

Y entre lagrima y lagrima un beso rodó,
Pensé que se me iba a salir el corazón.

Y la verdad no se si fue de miedo o de
Pasión, y lo que paso esa noche culpa tuya fue.

Y un hombre va, hasta donde una mujer le permite llegar.

Todo se dio, porque a lo mejor contigo se sentía muy mal.

Pero soy hombre y no pude negarme,
Ante sus ojos como dos estrellas.

Se que hay mujeres las hay por millares,
Es una reina y no te has dado cuenta.

Menospreciaste aquella hermosa dama,
Te han dado jaque y no te diste cuenta.

Perdiste yo se que perdiste, por no valorar sus amores.(Bis)

Menospreciaste aquella hermosa dama,
Te dieron jaque y no te diste cuenta.

Amigo la vida es como un sueño,
En la que ahora se pierde y mañana se gana.

Comprende tu mujer no es un objeto,
Que a tu disposición hace lo que tu mandas.

Hace bastante tiempo que venias peleando con ella.

Mientras que te emborrachabas en mi desahogaba sus penas.

Y entre lagrima y lagrima un beso rodó,
Pensé que se me iba a salir mi corazón.

Y la verdad no se si fue de miedo o de pasión.

Y todo esto aconteció como en el ajedrez.

La reina fue, pero el se quedo dormido confiado en su ley.

Porque el peón, invadía los dominios a espaldas del rey.

Pero soy hombre y no pude negarme,
Ante sus ojos como dos estrellas.

Se que hay mujeres las hay por millares,
Es una reina y no te has dado cuenta.

Menospreciaste aquella hermosa dama,
Te dieron jaque y no te diste cuenta.

Perdiste yo se que perdiste, por no valorar sus amores.(Bis)

Menospreciaste aquella hermosa dama,
Te dieron jaque y no te diste cuenta.

Checkmate

Darling, forgive me for what I'm about to say,
But your wife is simply too beautiful.

I apologize if I come across as too honest,
But I can no longer hold back the truth.

For quite some time, you've been arguing with her,
While you drowned your sorrows in drink, she confided in me.

And amidst her tears, a kiss slipped out,
I thought my heart was going to burst out of my chest.

And honestly, I don't know if it was out of fear or
Passion, but what happened that night was your fault.

And a man goes only as far as a woman allows him to go.

It all happened because perhaps she felt awful with you.

But I'm a man, and I couldn't resist,
Your eyes were like two stars.

I know there are women in abundance,
But she's a queen, and you failed to realize it.

You belittled that beautiful woman,
You've been checkmated and you didn't even notice.

You lost, I know you lost, because you didn't value her love. (Chorus)

You belittled that beautiful woman,
You were checkmated and you didn't even notice.

My friend, life is like a dream,
Where one day you win, and the next you lose.

Understand that your wife is not an object,
Who does whatever you command.

For quite some time, you've been arguing with her.

While you drowned your sorrows in drink, she confided in me.

And amidst her tears, a kiss slipped out,
I thought my heart was going to burst out of my chest.

And honestly, I don't know if it was out of fear or passion.

And all of this unfolded like a game of chess.

She was the queen, but you fell asleep, trusting in your authority.

Because the pawn was encroaching on your territory, behind your back.

But I'm a man, and I couldn't resist,
Your eyes were like two stars.

I know there are women in abundance,
But she's a queen, and you failed to realize it.

You belittled that beautiful woman,
You were checkmated and you didn't even notice.

You lost, I know you lost, because you didn't value her love. (Chorus)

You belittled that beautiful woman,
You were checkmated and you didn't even notice.
