Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quince O Veinte Copas by Joan Manuel Serrat from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Yo llevaba encima
I was carrying
Quince o veinte copas
Fifteen or twenty glasses
Ella odiaba los borrachos
She hated drunkards
Como yo, pero aquella noche
Like me, but that night
El rey de la farlopa
The king of the farlopa
Quiso quitarle la ropa
He wanted to take off her clothes
Y ella no dijo que no
And she didn't say no.
Quiso quitarle la ropa
He wanted to take off her clothes
Y ella no dijo que no
And she didn't say no.
Papelina en el bolsillo vale un polvo
Paper in your pocket is worth a powder
Yo no estaba en situación de merecer
I wasn't in a position to deserve
Derrapando se perdieron en un Volvo
Skidding they got lost in a Volvo
Balbuceando, ego te absolvo
Babbling, ego absolve you
Perdoné al amanecer
I forgave at dawn
Luego en clave de sol
Then in treble clef
Compré palos de golf
I bought golf clubs
Volví a clase de Yoga
I went back to Yoga class
Me metieron un gol la noche
They scored a goal for me the night
Que mi alcohol perdió contra su droga
That my alcohol lost against its drug
Y aunque no conseguí olvidarme de ti
And although I could not forget about you
Sin pasión ni reproches
No passion or reproach
Decidí envejecer, cuando vuelvo a beber
I decided to grow old, when I drink again
Ya no se hace de noche
It's no longer night
Decidí envejecer, cuando vuelvo a beber
I decided to grow old, when I drink again
Ya no se hace de noche
It's no longer night
No acostumbro a exhibir
I don't usually exhibit
De punta el bello
De punta el bello
Nunca saco a pasear el corazón
I never take my heart out for a walk
Pero viéndola en los brazos de un camello
But seeing her in the arms of a camel
Que la besaba en el cuello
Kissing her on the neck
Casi perdí la razón
I almost lost my mind
Que la besaba en el cuello
Kissing her on the neck
Casi perdí la razón
I almost lost my mind
Luego en clave de sol
Then in treble clef
Compré palos de golf
I bought golf clubs
Volví a clase de Yoga
I went back to Yoga class
Me metieron un gol la noche
They scored a goal for me the night
Que mi alcohol perdió contra su droga
That my alcohol lost against its drug
Y aunque no conseguí olvidarme de ti
And although I could not forget about you
Sin pasión ni reproches
No passion or reproach
Decidí envejecer, cuando vuelvo a beber
I decided to grow old, when I drink again
Ya no se hace de noche
It's no longer night
Decidí envejecer, cuando vuelvo a beber
I decided to grow old, when I drink again
Ya no se hace de noche
It's no longer night
Cuando vuelvo a beber (repetir varias veces)
When I drink again (repeat several times)
(Camarero, camarero, un altra copeta siusplau)
(Waiter, waiter, an altra copeta siusplau)
(Señorita hace media ahora que estamos
(Miss half a while now that we are
Esperando tres Gin tonic)
Waiting for three Gin and tonic)
