Tomo y obligo, mándese un trago
Take and oblige, send yourself a drink
Que hoy necesito el recuerdo matar
That today I need the memory kill
Sin un amigo, lejos del pago
Without a friend, far from payment
Quiero en su pecho mi pena volcar
I want in his chest my sorrow to tip over
Beba conmigo y si se empaña
Drink with me and if it fogs up
De vez en cuando mi voz al cantar
From time to time my voice when singing
No es que la llore por que me engaña
It's not that I cry because she cheats on me
Yo sé que un hombre no debe llorar
I know a man should not cry
Si los pastos conversaran
If the pastures talked
Esa pampa le diría
That pampa would tell him
De qué modo la quería
How I loved her
Con qué fiebre la adoré
How fever I adored her
Cuántas veces de rodillas
How many times on your knees
Tembloroso yo me he hincado
Trembling I have knelt down
Bajo el árbol deshojado donde un día la besé
Under the leafless tree where one day I kissed her
Y hoy al verla envilecida
And today to see her debased
A otros brazos entregada
To other arms delivered
Fue pa' mí una puñalada
It was for me a stab
Y de celos me cegué
And out of jealousy I blinded myself
Y le juro todavía, no consigo comprenderme
And I still swear, I can't understand myself.
Cómo pude contenerme
How I was able to contain myself
Y ahí no más no la maté
And I didn't kill her anymore.
Tomo y obligo, mándese un trago
Take and oblige, send yourself a drink
De las mujeres mejor no hay que hablar
Women better not to talk about
Todas, amigo, dan muy mal pago
All, friend, give very bad payment
Hoy mi experiencia lo puede afirmar
Today my experience can affirm it
Siga un consejo, no se enamore
Follow a tip, don't fall in love
Y si una vuelta le toca hocicar
And if a lap has to snout
Fuerza canejo, sufre y no llores
Strength canejo, suffer and do not cry
Que un hombre macho no debe llorar
That a macho man should not cry
Si los campos conversaran
If the fields converse
