Friend, order another drink, damn itAmigo pida otra copa, caramba
This singer invites youQue este cantor le convida
And even if you don’t careQue aunque a ustedes no le importa
I’m gonna tell you the story of my lifeVoy a hacerles la historia de mi vida

I loved a woman so muchAmé mucho a una mujer
The one I cherished mostDe mi alma la más querida
She betrayed me, damn itMe traicionó la perdida, caramba
What a cruel and rotten thing to doQue ingrato y mal proceder

She made me drinkElla me hizo beber
She turned me into a lost soulElla me hizo un perdido
I fell into drugs, my friendA la droga me tiré, amigo mío
And I was taken to jailY a la cárcel fui llevado

My friends forgot meLos amigos me olvidaron
Only my mother criedSólo mi madre lloraba
She prayed and begged GodA dios pedía y rogaba
To save her sonQue se salvara su hijo

Remember what I’m telling youRecuerden lo que les digo
That in prison and in bedQue en la prisión y en la cama
Only our mother loves us, damn itSólo nuestra madre nos ama, caramba
There’s no money, no friendsNo hay dinero, no hay amigos
Pretty country girl, my rhythm calls youLinda guajira, mi son te llama

The two words that fill meLas dos palabras que más
With joy and delightMe llenan de recocijo
Are when they call me son, that’s when I sayEs cuando me dicen hijo, es cuando digo
MomMamá

Country girl, the rhythm calls you, to dance, to enjoyGuajira el son te llama, a bailar, a gozar

A mother is a fountainLa madre es un surtidor
Of honey that never runs dryDe miel que nunca se cierra
She’s a star on earthEs un astro en la tierra
Shining brighter than the sunBrilla mucho más que el sol

Country girl, the rhythm calls you, to dance, to enjoyGuajira el son te llama, a bailar, a gozar

She doesn’t fear the darknessNo le teme a la negrura
Of vice and all its horrorsDel vicio y todo su espanto
I think of my motherPienso en mi madre
And her charm wraps me in her tendernessY su encanto me cubre con su ternura
