El Mil Amores Lyrics in English Cuco Sánchez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Mil Amores by Cuco Sánchez from Spanish to English.
De Altamira Tamaulipas
From Altamira Tamaulipas
Traigo esta alegre canción
I bring this joyful song
Y al son del viejo violín
And to the sound of the old violin
Y jarana canto yo
And jarana I sing
Pa' las mujeres bonitas
For the pretty women
Que son de mi adoración
Who are my adoration
De Altamira Tamaulipas
From Altamira Tamaulipas
Traigo esta alegre canción
I bring this joyful song
Si la vida es un jardín
If life is a garden
Las mujeres son las flores
Women are the flowers
El hombre es el jardinero
Man is the gardener
Que corta de las mejores
Who cuts the best ones
Yo no tengo preferencia
I have no preference
Por ninguna de las flores
For any of the flowers
Me gusta cortar de todas
I like to cut from all
Me gusta ser mil amores
I like to be a thousand loves
Dichoso aquel que se casa
Blessed is he who marries
Y sigue la vacilada
And keeps up the fooling around
Siempre anda jugando contras
Always plays games
A escondidas de su amada
Behind his beloved's back
Pero más dichoso yo
But I'm happier
Que no me hare falta nada
That I won't lack anything
Tengo viudas y solteras
I have widows and single women
Y una que otra casada
And an occasional married woman

Did you like this lyrics translation?
vacilada — joking around / fooling around
Vacilada is a colloquial term that means 'joking around' or 'fooling around'. It implies a carefree and playful attitude, often with a hint of mischief.
In the song, the lyrics say, "Dichoso aquel que se casa y sigue la vacilada" (Lucky is he who marries and continues the fooling around). This suggests that even after marriage, some men continue to flirt or engage in lighthearted romantic pursuits, often secretly, adding a playful yet somewhat cheeky layer to the song's narrative about being a 'mil amores' (a thousand loves).
