Lyrics and translation Manoella Torres - La Secretaria

La Secretaria

¬ Secretaria

Secretaria la que no habla siempre atenta diciendo nada

Te firme mis veinte años te ayude a subir peldaños
Y entre y copa y copa me hice necesaria
Y al negarme a ser amable
Me ignoraste y solo fui tu secretaria

Hemos compartido juntos tus fracasos y tus triunfos
Y hasta creo haber tejido ya canas
Pero ya a las siete en punto tú te ibas con los tuyos yo a mi casa

Fui también la celestina de tus citas clandestinas y aprendí
Estar bien callada
Luego un guiño de malicia una caricia de cumplido y un gentil hasta mañana

Era yo quién escogía las flores que cada día enviabas a tus jóvenes amadas
Era yo quién te firmaba las tarjetas hasta en eso secretaria

Fui también la celestina de tus citas clandestinas y aprendí
Estar bien callada
Luego un guiño de malicia una caricia de cumplido y un gentil hasta mañana

Secretaria, secretaria la escucha, escribe y calla
La que hizo de un despacho tu morada
Casi esposa buen soldado y enfermera y un poquito enamorada

Casi esposa buen soldado y enfermera y un poquito enamorada

The Secretary

¬ Secretary

Secretary, the one who doesn't speak, always attentive, saying nothing

I signed away my twenties, I helped you climb the ladder
And between drinks, I became indispensable
And when I refused to be nice
You ignored me and I became nothing but your secretary

We have shared your failures and triumphs together
And I think I have already grown gray
But at seven o'clock sharp, you went with your family, I went to my house

I was also the go-between for your secret rendezvous, and I learned
To keep my mouth shut
Then a mischievous wink, a complimentary caress, and a polite good morning

It was I who chose the flowers that you sent to your young mistresses every day
It was I who signed the cards for you, even in that, a secretary

I was also the go-between for your secret rendezvous, and I learned
To keep my mouth shut
Then a mischievous wink, a complimentary caress, and a polite good morning

Secretary, secretary, she listens, writes, and keeps quiet
The one who made your office your home
Almost a wife, a good soldier, a nurse, and a little bit in love

Almost a wife, a good soldier, a nurse, and a little bit in love
