Wilfrido Dame Un Consejo Lyrics in English Wilfrido Vargas , rubby perez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Wilfrido Dame Un Consejo by Wilfrido Vargas from Spanish to English.
Una vez en una fiesta tocaba yo mi trompeta
Once at a party I was playing my trumpet
Mientras veo a un hombre solitario que me mira con tristeza
While I see a lonely man who looks at me with sadness
Cuando termina la fiesta, aquel hombre se me acerca
When the party ended, that man approached me
Y dice con cierta pena, Wilfrido, dame un consejo
And says with some sorrow, Wilfrido, give me some advice
Wilfrido dame un consejo, que estoy ante ti llorando
Wilfrido give me some advice, for I'm before you crying
Y mira en el espejo lo que me está pasando
And look in the mirror what's happening to me
Que será, que será, que será
What will it be, what will it be, what will it be
Que será Miguelito, que será
What will it be Miguelito, what will it be
En una fiesta que tu tocaste
At a party that you played at
Allá en mi pueblo natal
There in my hometown
Yo conocí a una muchacha y la llevé hasta el altar
I met a girl and I took her to the altar
El lunes la conocí, el Martes la enamoré
On Monday I met her, on Tuesday I wooed her
El Miércoles me dio el sí, y el Jueves con ella me casé
On Wednesday she said yes, and on Thursday I married her
El Viernes fue la luna de miel, ella me amó y yo la amé
Friday was the honeymoon, she loved me and I loved her
Pero el Sábado con otro se me fue, y el Domingo me quedé
But on Saturday she left with another, and on Sunday I stayed
Solito en el hotel
All alone in the hotel
Se quedó Miguel solito en el hotel
Miguel stayed all alone in the hotel
Se quedó Miguel solito en el hotel
Miguel stayed all alone in the hotel
Se quedó Miguel solito en el hotel
Miguel stayed all alone in the hotel
Se quedó Miguel solito en el hotel
Miguel stayed all alone in the hotel
Se quedó Miguel solito en el hotel
Miguel stayed all alone in the hotel
Ahora que hago yo Wilfrido
Now what do I do Wilfrido
Con el velo, la corona y el vestido
With the veil, the crown and the dress
Con el velo y la corona de aquella mujer ladrona
With the veil and the crown of that thieving woman
Yo me voy pa'l compraventa pa' poder pagar la cuenta
I'm going to the pawn shop to be able to pay the bill
(Se quedó Miguel, solito en el hotel)
(Miguel stayed, all alone in the hotel)
Y pensar que me enredé a un veinte por ciento
And to think I got involved at twenty percent
Pa' comprarle a esa mujer ese apartamento
To buy that woman that apartment
(Se quedó Miguel, solito en el hotel)
(Miguel stayed, all alone in the hotel)
A una mujer traicionera no se le compra nevera, ni vestido
For a treacherous woman you don't buy a fridge, nor a dress
Ni cartera, ni en navidad un arbolito
Nor a purse, nor a little tree at Christmas
Hay que ponerla en un patio con su mueble de palitos
You have to put her in a yard with her stick furniture
Una armario sin vitrina y una cama colombina
A closet without a display case and a cot bed
Que pase la vida enferma, que no coma y que no duerma
May she spend her life sick, may she not eat and may she not sleep
Que no salga de una riña como ave de rapiña
May she not get out of a fight like a bird of prey
Que viva en la carretera con sarampión y paperas
May she live on the road with measles and mumps
Una mujer como esa se encuentra en una cuneta
A woman like that is found in a ditch
Que capacidad
What nerve!
Se quedó Miguel, solito en el hotel
Miguel stayed, all alone in the hotel

Did you like this lyrics translation?
compraventa — pawn shop / second-hand store
Compraventa literally translates to "buy-sell" but in this context, it refers to a pawn shop or a second-hand store.
After being left by his new wife, Miguelito is stuck with her wedding dress and crown. He declares, "Yo me voy pa'l compraventa pa' poder pagar la cuenta" (I'm going to the pawn shop to pay the bill). This word is interesting because it highlights a relatable, albeit humorous, consequence of a failed relationship, and it's not a word commonly found in song lyrics.
