My Spanish isn't very advanced and as a social dancer I'm trying to work out tango lyrics for pleasure. I'm stuck on this particular phrase in a song at the moment and would appreciate any help:

Pero que hago si son como mil y yo con las mil

Lyrics in context

"Yo me quiero enseguida casar porque ya
con mis novias... señor...
hay un lío mayor...
Pero que hago si son como mil y yo
con las mil no me puedo casar..."

The way you isolated the text is fragmentary and doesn't make much sense.

In context, the verses say something like they (my girlfriends) are about a thousand and I can't marry all them thousand.

Exactly that.

And that is a waltz, not a tango.

Oh, hi. Nice to meet you both. Thanks for the help. Sorry for using the generic tango term, adding links, omitting text and other evident faux pas.
