It's a song, right? It is also a play on words.

If I was to lower the sun and give to you, you would get so burnt.
If I was to lower the moon and give to you, how in hell would you carry it?
If I was to lower a star and give to you, my love you would get blinded.
I better not lower anything for you, not the sun or the moon nor a star so that nothing bad happens to you.

[AngelicaDeAlquezar]

The song is "La Interesada" and it's written by an old popular Mexican composer and humorist, Chava Flores. He uses very colloquial constructions and expressions of his time (many, of course, are still used).

The right wording should be:

Si yo te bajara el sol, quemadota que te dabas.
Si te bajara la luna, ¿cómo diablos la cargabas?
Si te bajara una estrella, vida mía, te deslumbrabas (He actually pronounces "dislumbrabas", but he's using the colloquial way)
Mejor no te bajo el sol ni la luna ni la estrella pa' que no te pase nada.

It's saying that if he brought down the sun, the moon or a star for his beloved one, she'd get either burned by the heat, or crushed under the weight of the moon or dazzled by the light of the star, so he'd better not bring any of those objects down for her, in order that nothing bad happens to her (in this stanza... later he will prefer not to do anything for her to avoid something bad happenning to him).

By the way, the chorus "habas" is a play on words with the end of imperfect, and a colloquial expression in Mexico, "puras habas", which means "nothing at all".

These are the lyrics to an old song called 'La Interesada'. You've only posted some of the first verse, and it contains typos. There are very few places that give the correct lyrics on the internet, so I've given it my best shot.

We'd like to see your try at a translation first.


LA INTERESADA
Salvador Chava Flores Rivera

- ¡Diablo de viejas estas, tan interesadotas! ¡Pero eso sí!

Si yo te bajara el sol, quemadota que te dabas (habas),
si te bajara la luna, ¿cómo diablos la cargabas? (habas),
si te bajara una estrella, vida mía, te deslumbrabas...
Mejor no, no te bajo el sol ni la luna ni la estrella,
pa' que no te pase nada.
Mejor no te bajo el sol ni la luna ni la estrella,
no seas tan interesada.


Si a ti te ofreciera el mar, yo te apuesto que te ahogabas (habas),
si te ofreciera un millón, la manota que estirabas (habas),
si te llevo a Nueva York, de seguro ahí me dejabas...
Mejor no, no te ofrezco el mar, ni el millón, ni Nueva York
pa' que no te pase nada.
Mejor no te ofrezco el mar, ni te llevo a Nueva York.
No seas tan interesada.

- ¡Tan chulas que son, de veras! ¡Lástima que todas coman!

Si yo te diera mi amor, la armadota que te dabas (habas),
si te hablara con pasión que soba me acomodabas (habas),
si te hiciera una canción, con el otro la cantabas (habas),
Mejor no, no te doy mi amor, ni te ofrezco mi canción
pa' que no me pase nada.
Mejor no te doy mi amor, y le sigo al vacilón.
Tú eres muy interesada.

¡Habas, habas, habas!
¡Ya vas!

Tú eres muy interesada.

You did pretty well.
The constructions the author used in the song aren't to be translated word-for-word (because they don't exactly make sense), so I've provided you with the gist of the song. Songs and poetry lose something in the translation.

I remember this song! A mexican coworker of mine introduced me to Chava Flores.
That translation is pretty good, but just to clarify something to the OP, "interesada" here doesn't simply mean interested. In this context it is used to refer to someone that has hidden interests, an agenda. In this specific case, being "interesada" would mean a woman that is in the relationship only to have the man do stuff for her and out of love.

I can't understand this part of the post, please if you are lovable to explain more about.

would mean a woman that is in the relationship only to have the man do stuff for her and out of love.

What really that means?
