Quédate Con Tu Mujer
Nelson Y Sus Estrellas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Los pocos reales que me quedaban se los gaste a la nena Paredes.
La semana pasada estaba brindandole a la gorda Teresa,
Un edtofado de carne asada y de postre dulce de frambuesa.
Hay señor comisario que voy a hacer, quedate con tu mujer.
Ella me vigila y no se por que, quedate con tu mujer.
Que yo me quedo con la nena hasta amanecer, quedate con tu mujer.
Yo le digo que la adoro y le doy muchos besitos, quedate con tu mujer.
Yo no se porque yo siempre llego a las tres, quedate con tu mujer.
Agarro la maleta y me voy a cien, quedate con tu mujer...
The lyrics of Nelson Y Sus Estrellas's song Quédate Con Tu Mujer express the singer's frustration with the troubles caused by women. He has spent all the little money he had left on a woman named Nena Paredes, and recently was wining and dining another woman named Gorda Teresa with a beef stew and raspberry dessert. However, the singer is worried about being caught by the police and tells the "señor comisario" to take his wife back because he can't handle the stress of being caught. The singer also expresses love for the woman he is with and doesn't understand why he always ends up coming home at three in the morning. Finally, in desperation, he packs his bags and leaves town, still encouraging the "mujeres" to stay with their husbands.
The song seems to be a reflection of the social norms and gender roles of the time. Men were expected to be the breadwinners and were often blamed for infidelity, while women were expected to be faithful and stay at home. The singer's troubles with women and money reflect the challenges of earning a living in a patriarchal society, and his desire to escape suggests a lack of control over his own life. The repetitive refrain, "quedate con tu mujer," reinforces the idea that women should stay with their husbands, even as the singer struggles to find his own way.
