Paroles et traduction Los Tupamaros - Ni Plata Ni Nada

Ni Plata Ni Nada

Un hombre sin amor no vale nada
Aunque tenga en el bolsillo mucha plata,
Sin mujeres la vida es pendejada
Por eso es mejor meter la pata
Con una mujercita que sea mas bien feita
Porque si es muy bonita se vuelve muy ingrata.

Escuchen un consejo como amigo,
No se vayan a tragar de cuales quiera,
Porque tengo experiencia se los digo,
El amor, hoy se compra con chequera,
No la busque muy mona
Porque es muy embustera,
Busque la morenita
Pero que sea sincera.

Tres cosas hay muy buenas en la vida:
Los billetes, la mujer y el aguardiente.
Yo prefiero una negra bien querida
Que en las noches se ponga bien ardiente
Que me diga: "Papito, acérquese a la almohada
Que el hombre sin mujeres no vale una patada".

Es bueno una chequera en el bolsillo,
Es muy rico comerse un buen sancocho,
Tener lo que uno quiere es muy sencillo
Pero es mejor tener uno su bizcocho.
Que bueno es tener plata pero por toneladas,
Pagarle a las mujeres solteras y casadas.

Neither Money Nor Nothing

A man without love is worth nothing
Even if he has a lot of money in his pocket,
Life without women is a piece of crap
That's why it's better to make a mistake
With a little woman who is rather ugly
Because if she is very beautiful, she will become very ungrateful.

Listen to a piece of advice as a friend,
Don't go after just anyone,
Because I have experience, I'm telling you,
Love, today is bought with a checkbook,
Don't look for her to be too pretty
Because she is very deceitful,
Look for the dark-skinned girl
But make sure she is sincere.

There are three very good things in life:
Money, women, and liquor.
I prefer a well-loved black woman
Who gets really hot at night
Who says to me: "Daddy, come over to the pillow
That a man without women is not worth a kick".

It's good to have a checkbook in your pocket,
It's very nice to eat a good sancocho (soup),
Having what you want is very easy
But it's better to have your own cake.
How good it is to have money but in tons,
To pay for single and married women.
