Pepe Aguilar Dedicates ‘Cuídamela Bien’ to Son-in-Law Christian Nodal: See the Lyrics Translated to English

Pepe Aguilar has never shied away from expressing what is really going through his mind. And his latest song, titled “Cuídamela Bien” — which translates to “take good care of her” — is no exception. Singing directly to Christian Nodal , who in July married his daughter Ángela Aguilar , the Mexican star is clear on his requests for him.
“Well you’re no idiot, you took from the old man the best woman,” he croons over wailing trumpets and nostalgic guitar notes. “Love her, cabrón . Show the world that you’re on the right track, and you’ve got a heart. Make her as happy as I’ve always wanted to in life.”
Aguilar’s song is a play on words that makes the most sense in Spanish. In one verse, he sings, “Y NO DA La cara el bandido,” or, “And that bandit won’t show his face” — which could also refer to Nodal’s face tattoos. In another part of the song, he uses song titles, including Ángela’s “Ahí Donde Me Ven” and Nodal’s “Botella Tras Botella,” to wittingly express how he’s feeling.
Toward the end of the song, in a total state of emotional vulnerability, Aguilar reaffirms he’s given the couple his blessing, something he first announced publicly just a day after the wedding ceremony, which took place just weeks after the couple confirmed their relationship.
“In any lasting relationship, love is essential and respect and responsibility totally indispensable,” he wrote then. “With love, you face the most complicated challenges inside and outside your environment. … I have also been in your shoes. And after 27 years with my wife I say to you: There is no simple principle.”
Below, the lyrics to Pepe Aguilar’s “Cuídamela Bien” translated to English:
It’s not news that she’s with you Well the world knows it and everyone is a witness So fast time passed and my ANGEL someone else snatched her away And the bandit won’t show his face
I’m going to be very clear, do things right Because for outlaws, mijo (son), this is not the place to be And I know it’s easy to be cabrón I’ve been in that situation myself But the one who stays is more of a man
And I’m sorry if I’m being a little rude It’s just that I got dumbfounded by a lucky chamaco (boy)
Take good care of her You’ve already made her fall in love You already took her away What am I gonna do?
She was never mine And I knew That I was going to lose her
And lucky for you Now she’s with you I wish you well
Take good care of her Maybe she’s not perfect But I assure you She knows how to love
Roses were enough for you So that my prideful daughter Would fall at your feet
And face-to-face I give you a piece of advice If you love her well
Don’t change her because you’re very good at it
When you brought her roses, I played the strong one And in the serenades I couldn’t kick you out The eagle has already taken off And the one who doesn’t show his face now has shown it I admit that you’re easy to love
And I’m sorry if I’m a little rude It’s just that I got dumbfounded by a lucky chamaco (boy)
Take good care of her “Ahí Donde Me Ven” (There where they see me) “Botella Tras Botella” (Bottle after bottle) “No Me 100to Bien” (I don’t feel good)
Well you’re no idiot You took from the old man The best woman
And lucky for you Now she’s with you I wish you well
Love her, cabrón Show the world That you’re on the right track And you’ve got a heart
Make her as happy as I’ve always wanted to in life
And in the eye of the cyclone For my part I give you my blessing And I will always wish your relationship well
