Translation:

As my friends and I spoke of the evildoings of women, we drank bottle after bottle of alcohol. I was asked to sing, so I sang about women’s betrayal of men.

An older man approached me. He said to me, “I beg you to cease to speak that way of women while in my presence.” I responded, “We’re just talking about how we’ve been done wrong by them. Anybody who does not share our views must have never been betrayed by one.”

In response to that he said…

“I’m one of those men who have paid a high-price for loving a woman. I’ve always been abandoned by them with tears in my eyes and wounds in my heart. However, I would never scold them for it. You see, suffering is a result of loving, and love them we must. Women are God’s gift to men. In fact, the most cherished moments in my life have been spent next to a woman. It’s in our nature to love those divine beings, even if we are to spend the rest of our lives drinking and wishing we hadn’t…”

Mujeres Divinas (Vicente Fernández)

Hablando de mujeres y traiciones
se fueron consumiendo las botellas
Pidieron que cantará mis canciones
y yo canté unas dos en contra de ellas

De pronto que se acerca un caballero
Su pelo ya pintaba algunas canas
Me dijo, “Le suplico compañero
que no hable en mi presencia de las damas”

Le dije que nosotros simplemente
hablamos de lo mal que nos pagaron;
que si alguien opinaba diferente
sería porque jamás lo traicionaron
que si alguien opinaba diferente
sería porque jamas lo traicionaron

Me dijó: Yo soy uno de los seres
que más ha soportado los fracasos
y siempre me dejaron las mujeres
llorando y con el alma hecha pedazos

Mas nunca les reprocho mis heridas
se tiene que sufrir, cuando se ama
Las horas mas hermosas de mi vida
las he pasado a lado de una dama

Pudiéramos morir en las cantinas
y nunca lograríamos olvidarlas
Mujeres o mujeres tan divinas
no queda otro camino que adorarlas
Mujeres o mujeres tan divinas
no queda otro camino que adorarlas
