El Marqués
¿Quién no conoce a ese bribón
a ese con aires de señor?
Se da la vida de un potentado
y no currela "porque es pecado".
Todos trabajan en su hogar
para que el pueda aparentar.
Media vida en el café
donde haciendo el mentecato
suele invitar sin recato
como si fuera un marqués.
Y en su casa la mujer
trabajando hasta las tantas
sólo a trancas y barrancas
llegará hasta fin de mes.
Hay que ver, hay que ver
vaya vida se pega el marqués.
Hay que ver, hay que ver
vaya jeta se gasta el marqués.
Le tira al vino por demás
y es un borracho de cuidar.
Tiene a su gente tan asustada
que nadie osa reprochar nada.
Todos madrugan en su hogar
para que el pueda descansar.
Celtibérico, varón,
futbolero y torerista
va de estreno a la revista
aunque no haya que comer.
Los niños trabajan ya
porque no lo hace el zoquete
y grosero petimetre
que les tocó por papá.
Hay que ver, hay que ver
vaya vida se pega el marqués.
Hay que ver, hay que ver
vaya jeta se gasta el marqués.

Translation
The Marquis
Who doesn't know that loafer
that one with airs of lord?
He has the life of a monarch
and he doesn't work "because it's a sin".
Everyone works at home
so he can pretend.
Half life at the café
where playing the idiot
uses to invite without modesty
like if he was a marquis.
And at home her wife
working till the late hours
only through fire and water
she'll make ends meet.
One must see, one must see
the life the marquis has.
One must see, one must see
the face the marquis wears.
He drinks wine on excess
and is a drunk to look after.
He has his people so scared
that no one dares to reproach anything.
Everyone wakes up early at home
so he can rest.
Celtiberian, male,
football and bullfights fan
he goes to the theatre premieres
even if there's nothing to eat.
The children are already working
because doesn't the dimwit
and rude dandy
they had as father.
One must see, one must see
the life the marquis has.
One must see, one must see
the face the marquis wears.
