These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Estaba en la terraza, del bar del tío pepe
I was on the terrace, Uncle Pepe's bar
Tomándome un vermú, viendo pasar la gente
Taking a vermu, watching people pass by
Cuándo de repente, apareciste tú
When all of a sudden, you showed up
Con esa delantera, andares de pantera
With that front, panther walks
Mirada prepotente, galones cual teniente
Overbearing look, gallons as a lieutenant
Y entre mis dientes, tan solo la aceitu..
And between my teeth, just the aceitu.
.....na del martín que tiré nada más verte
..... na of the martin I threw as long as I saw you
Y pidiéndole a dios suerte
And asking God for luck
Fui a robarte el corazón
I went to steal your heart
Y es que yo soy...un artista
And I am... an artist
Como la copa de un pino
Like the glass of a pine tree
Bebo siempre en bota el vino
I always drink wine in a boot
Me gustan las mujeres
I like women
Más que a un tonto un caramelo
More than a fool a candy
Más que una becaria a clinton
More than a clinton fellow
Me gustan las morenas, las gordas, las sirenas
I like brunettes, fat ones, mermaids
Con pecas y sin ellas y hasta las que tienen barba
With freckles and without them and even those with beards
Me parecen que están buenas
I think they're good
Hay que siempre arriesgar
You always have to risk
En cuestiones de amor
On matters of love
Porque el tiempo se esfuma
Because time vanishes
Y mi ritmo es más lento
And my pace is slower
Que el de un caracol
That of a snail
Se hacía la despistada, aunque el cielo le silbara
He was being clueless, even if the sky whistled at him
Cuándo le pregunté, perdona ¿qué hora es?
When I asked him, I'm sorry, what time is it?
Y ella como enfadada, me dijo: son las tres
And she, as an angry one, told me: it's three
Después le pregunté, que hacia una mujer
Then I asked him, that towards a woman
Tan guapa como tú en un sitio como éste
As pretty as you in a place like this
Y ella echando pestes, quiso dar a entender
And she was stinking, she wanted to imply
Que ella nunca se olvidaba de una cara
That she never forgot a face
Pero por ser yo tan varas
But because I'm so good
Conmigo haría una excepción
He'd make an exception with me
Y es que yo soy...un artista
And I am... an artist
Como la copa de un pino
Like the glass of a pine tree
Bebo siempre en bota el vino
I always drink wine in a boot
Me gustan las mujeres
I like women
Más que a un tonto un caramelo
More than a fool a candy
Más que una becaria a clinton
More than a clinton fellow
Me gustan las morenas, las gordas, las sirenas
I like brunettes, fat ones, mermaids
Con pecas y sin ellas y hasta las que tienen barba
With freckles and without them and even those with beards
Me parecen que están buenas
I think they're good
Hay que siempre arriesgar
You always have to risk
En cuestiones de amor
On matters of love
Porque el tiempo se esfuma
Because time vanishes
Y mi ritmo es más lento
And my pace is slower
Que el de un caracol
That of a snail
