Tequila Lyrics in English by Café Quijano
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tequila by Café Quijano from Spanish to English.
Me escondo en una esquina
I hide in a corner
Donde no me puedan ver
Where they can't see me
Después de cuatro vinos
After four wines
Y unos tristes canapés
And some sad canapés
La suerte está de mi lado
Luck is on my side
Se me acerca una mujer
A woman approaches me
Me dice: 'Yo soy Amparo
She tells me: 'I am Amparo
Y te quiero conocer'
And I want to meet you'
Y yo que soy un caballero
And I, being a gentleman
Dos besos le pego con mucha fe
I give her two kisses with great confidence
Me bebo mi ron entero
I drink my whole rum
Y con el tequila me echo a perder
And with the tequila I go astray
Lo cierto es que poco hablamos
The truth is we spoke little
Sólo le dije: 'Acompáñame'
I only told her: 'Come with me'
Salimos y caminamos
We went out and walked
Y nos plantamos en el hotel
And we ended up at the hotel
Y tanto tequila
And so much tequila
Lo tengo que dejar
I have to quit it
No quiero disgustos
I don't want troubles
Se que despierto
I know I wake up
Y llegan los sustos
And the scares arrive
Y vale ya de sobresaltos
And enough with the shocks
Con quién me acuesto
With whom I go to bed
No me levanto
I don't get up
Y tanto tequila
And so much tequila
Lo malo de los alcoholes
The bad thing about alcohols
Es que no te dejan ver
Is that they don't let you see
Debajo de los disfraces
Underneath the disguises
Lo que puede aparecer
What can appear
Me pasa por cariñoso
It happens to me for being affectionate
Soy donante de placer
I am a pleasure donor
Y sé que amar tiene riesgos
And I know that loving has risks
Que uno tiene que correr
That one has to take
Y mira que no espabilo
And look, I don't smarten up
Que con el tiempo voy a peor
That with time I get worse
Lo pienso y a veces digo
I think about it and sometimes I say
Quédate en casa que estás mejor
Stay home, you're better off
El caso es que de mañana
The thing is that in the morning
Muy educada Amparo se va
Very politely Amparo leaves
Me dice: 'No pasa nada
She tells me: 'It's nothing
No te levantes y un beso más'
Don't get up and one more kiss'
Y tanto tequila
And so much tequila
Lo tengo que dejar
I have to quit it
No quiero disgustos
I don't want troubles
Se que despierto
I know I wake up
Y llegan los sustos
And the scares arrive
Y vale ya de sobresaltos
And enough with the shocks
Con quién me acuesto
With whom I go to bed
No me levanto
I don't get up
Y tanto tequila
And so much tequila
Lo tengo que dejar
I have to quit it
El tequila!!
The tequila!!
No quiero disgustos

Se que despierto y
I know I wake up and
Llegan los sustos!!!
The scares arrive!!!
Y vale ya de sobresaltos
And enough with the shocks
Con quien me acuesto

No me levanto!!!
I don't get up!!!
¡Lo tengo que dejar!
