Текст и перевод песни Los Alegres De Terán - La Mesera

La Mesera

En una fonda chiquita que parecía restaurante
Me metí a echarme unos tacos
Porque ya me andaba de hambre
Ya ven que el hambre es canijo
Pero más el que lo aguante

Se me acerco una morena que estaba requeté tres piedras
Me dijo: "¿qué se le ofrece?
Puede pedir lo que quiera
Señor, 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 contesto: "vivo sola
Pero antes de que le siga, 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 qué hora nos vamos?"
Me dijo: "¡no chiquitito!, en eso si no quedamos
Pero si traes dinérito, hasta una polca bailamos"

The Waitress

In a small tavern that looked like a restaurant
I went in to have some tacos
Because I was very hungry
You see, hunger is a beast
But the one who endures it is a greater beast

A dark-skinned woman approached me, she was very beautiful
She said, "What can I offer you?
You can order whatever you want
Sir, I am here to serve you
I am the waitress here"

I just looked at that dark-skinned 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 I continue, go and play the pianola
Just put a dollar in it because it doesn't play by itself"

I don't know how many drinks we had, me and my friend the waitress
The fact is that we even danced until we were almost drunk
We sang La Cucaracha and I think even La Rielera

When it was already night
I said to her, "When are we leaving?"
She said, "No, little one, we haven't agreed on that
But if you have money, we can even dance a polka"
