Lyrics

Translation

Saben, tuve tantos trabajos

They know, I had so many jobs

Fui lavaplatos, mesero y cocinero

I was a dishwasher, waiter, and cook

Peón y albañil, ayudante de mecánico

Peasant and bricklayer, mechanic's assistant


Un mil usos cualquiera

A jack of all trades

Pero ahora, les quiero contar de cuando era taxista

But now, I want to tell you about when I was a taxi driver

Un día un joven me abordó y me dijo

One day a young man hailed me and said


Hey, chófer, písele al gas

Hey, driver, step on it

Tanto sin verla, ya no aguanto más

It's been so long, I can't take it anymore

Párese, por favor

Stop, please

Voy a comprar flores para mi amor

I'm going to buy flowers for my love


Y fui manejando

And I was driving

A su mando y él cantando

At his command, and he was singing

Seguí sí, sí, sí, manejando

I kept on, yes, yes, yes, driving

Y él silbando con sus flores

And he whistling with his flowers


Y ándele Dani Fender, súbale a esta canción

And there goes Dani Fender, turn up this song

Pa′ que se oiga bonito mi energía norteña

So that my northern energy sounds beautiful


En cuanto llegamos a la dirección

As soon as we arrived at the address

Me dijo que lo esperara y corrió a buscarla

He told me to wait, and he ran to find her

Después de unos minutos, aquel león que llevaba yo de pasajero

After a few minutes, that lion I had as a passenger

Regresó convertido en el más pequeño ratón

Returned, turned into the smallest mouse

Y me dijo

And he said to me


Hey, chófer, dele otra vez

Hey, driver, do it again

Me equivoqué esta calle no es

I made a mistake, this street is not it

Dígame a qué lugar

Tell me where

Lejos de aquí, vaya sin preguntar

Far from here, just go without asking


Y fui manejando

And I was driving

Y él llorando con sus flores

And he crying with his flowers

Seguí sí, sí, sí, manejando

I kept on, yes, yes, yes, driving

Y él tirando lindas flores

And he throwing beautiful flowers
