These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
La vieja calle se va
The old street goes by
Toreando con la bolsa un autobús
Dodging a bus with her bag
Llevaba medias negras
She was wearing black stockings
Y minifalda de cuero marrón
And a brown leather miniskirt
Me dijo tienes fuego
She told me, 'Do you have a light?'
Tranquilo que no hago nada ilegal
Don't worry, I don't do anything illegal
Salí ayer del palebo
I got out of jail yesterday
Qué tal si me invitaras a cenar
How about you invite me to dinner?
Ahí empezó la lluvia
Then the rain started
Yo andaba paragüas y ella no
I had an umbrella and she didn't
¿A dónde vamos rubiá?
Where are we going, blonde?
A donde tú me lleves contestó
Wherever you take me, she replied
Así es que fuimos hasta
So we went to
Mi casa, y en el condado le advertí
My house, and there I warned her
Con un colchón nos basta
A mattress is enough for us
De estufa corazón te tengo a tí
For a stove, babe, I have you
Le calenté una sopa
I heated her some soup
Con vino tinto, pan y salchichón ¡que vacilón!
With red wine, bread, and salami, what a blast!
Y a la segunda copa
And by the second drink
¿Qué hacemos con la ropa? preguntó
What do we do with our clothes? she asked
Y yo que nunca tuve
And I who never had
Más religión que un cuerpo de mujer
More religion than a woman's body
Del cuello de una nube
From the neck of a cloud
Aquella madrugada me colgué
I hung on that early morning
Ay como gozé
Oh, how I enjoyed myself
Estaba solo cuando
I was alone when
La luz del sol me dio y me desveló
The sunlight hit me and woke me up
Me desperté abrazando
I woke up hugging
La ausencia de su cuerpo en mi colchón
The absence of her body on my mattress
Lo malo no es que huyera
The bad thing isn't that she ran away
Con mi cartera y con mi reloj
With my wallet and my watch
Peor es que se fuera
Worse is that she left
Robándome además el corazón
Also stealing my heart
De noche, 'Piel de hada'
At night, 'Fairy Skin'
Y a plena luz del día, 'Cruela de vil'
And in broad daylight, 'Cruella de Vil'
Maldita madrugada
D*mned early morning
Y yo que me creía, 'Steve McQueen'
And I who thought I was 'Steve McQueen'
Y sí en la calle Serra te la encuentras
And if on Serra Street you find her
Dile que le escrito un son ¡ay de corazón!
Tell her I've written her a son, oh, from the heart!
Llevaba medias negras
She was wearing black stockings
Y minifalda de cuero marrón ¡que sanación!
And a brown leather miniskirt, what a healing!
Oh, lai, la, la, lai, la, la, la
Oh, lai, la, la, lai, la, la, la
Llevaba medias negras y me robó el corazón
She was wearing black stockings and she stole my heart
Yo canto por no llorar
I sing to keep from crying
Pero mañana de nochecita la salgo a buscar
But tomorrow evening I'll go out to look for her
Llevaba medias negras y me robó el corazón
She was wearing black stockings and she stole my heart
Oh, vaya lío en que me metió
Oh, what a mess she got me into
Esa mujer el corazón me llevó
That woman took my heart
Llevaba medias negras y me robó el corazón
She was wearing black stockings and she stole my heart
Maldita madrugada en que yo la vi
D*mned early morning when I saw her
La muy descarada se burló de mi
The very shameless one mocked me
Llevaba medias negras y me robó el corazón
She was wearing black stockings and she stole my heart
Yo voy siguiendo su pista
I'm following her trail
Se ve que soy masoquista
It's clear that I'm a masochist
Llevaba medias negras y me robó el corazón
She was wearing black stockings and she stole my heart
Y me llevó el reloj y la billetera
And she took my watch and my wallet
Me dejó vacía toda la nevera
She left my whole fridge empty
Llevaba medias negras y me robó el corazón
She was wearing black stockings and she stole my heart
Y si en la calle Serra te la encuentras
And if on Serra Street you find her
Dile que le dedico este son
Tell her I dedicate this son to her
