Old Pot
I'm dating an unmarried lady,
That gorgerous woman wants to be my wife
My relatives are already criticizing me
They're saying that she's too old
She is mature, she is over thirty already
But for me, the most important is the character,
I do not care whether she's mature
Old pots cook best foods
A young girl is a good deal, but can frighten you
They can't keep secret and talk too much, in vain
I only trust women over thirty,
If she's distinguished, when we err, she forgives
To the occasion, she may be of any race,
African, Italian or german,
I do not care whether she's mature
Old pots cook best foods
Our life begins in the forties
It`s when future plans of a person arrise
Who marries too young, soon gets unmarried
because married life sometimes bores you
A housewife must to be a mature woman,
Because, in the contrary, problems increase
I do not care whether she's mature
Old pots cook best foods
I will marry her in order to get her affection
When living alone, we just get dejected
and a gaucho is not worth a dime without a woman
It's like a fish, living out of the lake,
Now I'm determined, I'll counter my relatives
Those people that talk in vain
I do not care whether she's mature
Old pots cook best foods
