Toca Mi Cancion

Toca esa vieja cancion

Play that old song

que un dia baile con mi nena

that I danced with my baby one day

llena ese vaso de ron

fill that glass with rum

que la garganta me quema

because my throat is burning

Rompeme el corazon

Break my heart

por que aunque beba no hay borrachera que ahogue mi pena

because even if I drink, there's no drunkenness that drowns my sorrow

musica, humo y alcohol,

music, smoke, and alcohol,

versos que apenas recuerda

verses that I barely remember

Donde esta la camarera

Where is the waitress

se tambalea y maldice la sangre que corre en sus venas

she staggers and curses the blood that runs in her veins

pido una explicacion

I ask for an explanation

un "no" hallo por respuesta

a "no" is the only response I find

Luces y risas y el viejo que grita

Lights and laughter and the old man shouting

que un dia de estos se quita la vida

that one of these days he'll end his life

y el dia que muera ponedme una vela

and on the day he dies, light a candle for me

ya nadie en la casa a cenar le espera

no one in the house awaits him for dinner anymore

Ya termino la cancion

The song has ended

se mataria por verla

he would kill to see her

Ya nadie en la casa a cenar le espera...

No one in the house awaits him for dinner anymore...
