Paroles et traduction Luis Y Julian - La Mesera

La Mesera

En una fonda chiquita que parecía restaurante
Entré a comerme unos tacos, porque ya me andaba de hambre
Ya ven que el hambre es canija, pero más el que la aguante

Se me acercó una morena, que estaba requete tres piedras
Me dijo, "que se le ofrece, puede pedir lo que quiera
Señor yo estoy pa′ servirle, aquí yo soy la mesera"

Nomás miré aquella prieta, se me olvidaron los tacos
Le dije traiga cerveza, de pollo sirva dos platos
Y usted se sienta conmigo, pa' divertirnos un rato

Le pregunté eres casada, me contestó, "vivo sola"
Pero antes de que le sigas, echa a tocar la pianola
Nomás le pones un peso, porque esa no toca sola

No sé ni cuantas tomamos, yo y mi amiga la mesera
El cuento es que hasta bailamos, a punto de borrachera
Cantamos La Cucaracha y creo que hasta La Rielera

Ya cuando se hizo de noche, le dije a que horas nos vamos
Me dijo, "no chiquitito, en eso si no quedamos
Pero si traes dinerito hasta una polka bailamos"

The Waitress

In a tiny eatery that looked like a restaurant
I went in to eat some tacos, because I was already starving
You see, hunger is a beast, but even more so for the one who endures it

A beautiful woman approached me, she was a knockout
She said, "What can I offer you, you can order whatever you want
Sir, I'm here to serve you, I'm the waitress here"

As soon as I saw that beautiful woman, I forgot about the tacos
I said bring me a beer, serve me two plates of chicken
And you sit with me, so we can have some fun

I asked her, "Are you married?", she replied, "I live alone"
But before you continue, put on the pianola
Just put a peso in it, because it doesn't play by itself

I don't know how many we drank, me and my friend the waitress
The story is that we even danced, on the verge of getting drunk
We sang La Cucaracha and I think even La Rielera

When night fell, I said to her, "What time are we leaving?"
She said, "Not so fast, little one, we haven't agreed on that yet"
But if you have some money, we can even dance a polka"
