El hombre que no se casa,
no sabe de cosa buena(2)

Tiene que sabei bucaila que no le saiga chiflera(2)
hay carretera sin puente, ni puente sin barandilla(2)
Toda la mujer ciflera se le jimcha la rodilla(2)

Toda mujei necesita de un marido cumplidor(2)

pero si es un sinbeiguensa ella busca otro mejoi(2)

Todas las mujeres tienen en el medio un ombliguito(2)
pero mas abajo tienen la fabrica e' muchachito(2)

Toda la mujer ciflera se le jimcha la rodilla(2)

Yo se bien que a ti te gusta el pecao' e' samana(2)

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Los Toros Band's song La chiflera talk about the importance of marriage and the consequences of not settling down. The first verse says that a man who doesn't marry doesn't know what's good, and that he should be careful not to catch the "chiflera," which translates to a sexually transmitted disease. The second verse emphasizes the importance of a good husband, as a woman will look for someone else if her husband is no good. The third and fourth verses are more explicit, talking about the female anatomy and how women have needs too.

The chorus then repeats the line "hay carretera sin puente, ni puente sin barandilla," which translates to "there is no road without a bridge, and no bridge without a guardrail." This seems to be a metaphor for marriage, implying that it provides safety and stability for couples. However, the last line of the chorus, "toda la mujer ciflera se le jimcha la rodilla," is more vulgar, implying that sexually promiscuous women will suffer physical consequences.

Overall, the lyrics are playful and somewhat crude, but also carry a message about the importance of commitment and fidelity in relationships.
