Текст и перевод песни Mocedades - Secretaria

Secretaria

(Siempre atenta, diciendo nada).
Te firmé mis veinte años
Te ayudé a subir peldaños
Y entre copa Y copa me hice necesaria.
Yal negarme a ser amable me ignoraste
Y sólo fuí tu secretaria.
Hemos compartido juntos, tus fracasos y tus triunfos
Y hasta creo haber tejido yo tus canas
Pero allá a las siete en punto
Tú te ibas con los tuyos, yo a mi casa.
Fuí también la celestina, de tus citas clandestinas
Y aprendí a estar bien callada
Luego un guiño de malicia
Una caricia de cumplido
Y un gentil hasta mañana.
Era yo quien escogía
Las flores que cada día
Enviabas a tus jóvenes amadas
Era yo quien te firmaba las tarjetas
Hasta en eso secretaria.
Secretaria, secretaria
La que escucha, escribe y calla
La que hizo de un despacho tu morada
Casi esposa, buen soldado, enfermera
Y un poquito enamorada.

Secretary

(Always attentive, saying nothing).
I signed away my twenty years to you
I helped you climb the ladder
And between drinks, I made myself indispensable.
And when I refused to be nice, you ignored me,
And I was just your secretary.
We've shared your failures and your triumphs together
And I even think I wove your gray hair
But there at seven o'clock sharp,
You went off with your family, and I to my house.
I was also the matchmaker for your secret rendezvous
And I learned to keep my mouth shut
Then a mischievous wink,
A flattering caress,
And a gentle goodnight.
I was the one who chose,
The flowers that every day
You sent to your young lovers
I was the one who signed your cards
Even in that, a secretary.
Secretary, secretary
The one who listens, writes, and keeps quiet
The one who made an office your home
Almost a wife, a good soldier, a nurse
And a little bit in love.
