Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dos Botellas De Mezcal by Lila Downs from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Cuando me muera
when I die
Cómo te agradecería
How would I thank you
Que pusieras en mi tumba
What would you put on my grave?
Dos botellas de mezcal
two bottles of mezcal
Porque sé que de morirme
Because I know that to die
De una cruda
of a hangover
Sabes bien que es culpa tuya
You know well that it's your fault
Por no poderte olvidar
For not being able to forget you
Todas las noches
Every night
Cuando agarro la botella
when i grab the bottle
Yo te miro dentro de ella
I look at you inside her
Y me pongo a platicar
And I start talking
Al rato siento
After a while I feel
Que me abrazas y me aprietas
that you hug me and squeeze me
Cual si fuera cosa cierta
as if it were true
Te amo, te amo y no es verdad
I love you, I love you and it's not true
Cuando al fin vuelvo
When I finally come back
De mis locos pensamientos
of my crazy thoughts
Empiezan mis sufrimientos
my sufferings begin
Porque te busco y no estás
because I look for you and you are not
Empieza a brotar el llanto
The crying begins to flow
Porque yo te quiero tanto
because i love you so much
Y no te puedo olvidar
and I can not forget you
Todas las noches
Every night
Cuando agarro la botella
when i grab the bottle
Yo te miro dentro de ella
I look at you inside her
Y me pongo a platicar
And I start talking
Al rato siento
After a while I feel
Que me abrazas y me aprietas
that you hug me and squeeze me
Cual si fuera cosa cierta
as if it were true
Te amo, te amo y no es verdad
I love you, I love you and it's not true
Cuando al fin vuelvo
When I finally come back
De mis locos pensamientos
of my crazy thoughts
Empiezan mis sufrimientos
my sufferings begin
Porque te busco y no estás
because I look for you and you are not
Empieza a brotar el llanto
The crying begins to flow
Porque yo te quiero tanto
because i love you so much
Y no te puedo olvidar
and I can not forget you
