Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Tu Recuerdo y Yo by José Alfredo Jiménez from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Estoy en el rincón de una cantina
I'm in the corner of a canteen
Oyendo una canción que yo pedí
Listening to a song that I requested
Me están sirviendo ahorita mi tequila
They are serving me my tequila right now
Ya va mi pensamiento rumbo a ti
My thoughts are already heading towards you
Yo sé que tu recuerdo es
I know that your memory is
Mi desgracia, y vengo aquí nomas a recordar
My misfortune, and I come here just to remember
Que amarga son las cosas que nos pasan
How bitter are the things that happen to us
Con hay una mujer que paga mal
With there is a woman who pays poorly
Quien no sabe en esta vida la traición
Who does not know in this life the betrayal
Tan conocida que nos deja
So well known that she leaves us
Quien no llega a la cantina
Who doesn't make it to the canteen
Exigiendo su tequila y exigiendo
Demanding his tequila and demanding
Su canción, me están sirviendo ya la
Her song, they are already serving me
Del estribo ahorita ya no se si tengo fe
From the stirrup right now I don't know if I have faith
Ahorita solamente
right now only
Yo les pido que toquen
I ask them to touch
Otra vez la que se fue
again the one that left
Quien no sabe en esta vida la traición
Who does not know in this life the betrayal
Tan conocida que nos deja
So well known that she leaves us
Quien no llega a la cantina
Who doesn't make it to the canteen
Exigiendo su tequila y exigiendo
Demanding his tequila and demanding
Su canción, me están sirviendo ya la
Her song, they are already serving me
Del estribo ahorita ya no se si tengo fe
From the stirrup right now I don't know if I have faith
Ahorita solamente
right now only
Yo les pido que toquen
I ask them to touch
Otra vez la que se fue
again the one that left
