These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Me cansé de rogarle me canse de decirle
I got tired of begging him, I got tired of telling him
Que yo sin ella de pena muero
that without her I die of pity
Ya no quiso escucharme si sus labios se abrieron
She no longer wanted to listen to me if her lips opened
Fue pa' decirme ya no te quiero
She went to tell me I don't love you anymore
Yo sentí que mi vida se perdía en un abismo profundo
I felt that my life was lost in a deep abyss
Y negro como mi suerte, quise hallar el olvido al estilo Jalisco
And black like my luck, I wanted to find oblivion in the Jalisco style
No te rajes
Do not give up
Pero aquellos mariachis y aquel tequila me hicieron llorar
But those mariachis and that tequila made me cry
Me canse de rogarle
I got tired of begging
Con el llanto en mis ojos mi copa y brinde con ella
With tears in my eyes my glass and toast with it
No podía despreciarme era el ultimo brindis de un bohemio con una reina
He couldn't despise me, it was the last toast of a bohemian with a queen
Los mariachis callaron
The mariachis were silent
De mi mano sin fuerza cayo mi copa sin darme cuenta
From my hand without strength my glass fell without realizing it
Ella quiso quedarse cuando vio mi tristeza
She wanted to stay when she saw my sadness
Pero ya estaba escrito que aquella noche perdiera su amor
But it was already written that she lost her love that night
