La Mesera

The Waitress

La Mesera

In a small innEn una fonda chiquita
That looked like a restaurantQue parecía restaurante
I went to get something to eatMe fui a buscar de comer
Because I was hungryPorque ya me andaba de hambre
You know hunger is toughYa ven que el hambre es berraca
But tougher is the one who can endure itPero más el que la aguante

A brunette approached meSe me arrimo una morena
Who was really good-lookingQue estaba requete buena
She told me she was at my serviceMe dijo que se le ofrece
I could order whatever I wantedPuede pedir lo que quiera
Sir, I'm here to serve youSeñor estoy pa’servirle
I'm the waitress hereAquí yo soy la mesera

When I saw that young ladyCuando mire aquella joven
My hunger disappearedEl hambre se fue al carajo
I told her to bring beerLe dije traiga cerveza
And serve two chicken dishesY de pollo sirva dos platos
You sit with meUsted se sienta conmigo
To have some fun for a whilePa' divertirnos un rato

I asked her if she was marriedLe pregunte eres casada
And she said: No, I live aloneY me dijo: No, vivo sola
But before you continuePero antes de que le sigas
Start the jukeboxEchate a andar la rockola
Just put in a thousand pesosNo más le pones mil pesos
Because it doesn't play by itselfPorque esa no toca sola

I don't even know how many we hadNo se ni cuantas tomamos
Me and my friend, the waitressYo y mi amiga la mesera
The point is we even dancedEl caso es que hasta bailamos
Close to being drunkA punto de borrachera
We danced to the red carBailamos el carro rojo
And I think even to the camelliaY creo que hasta la camelia

After it got darkLuego que se hizo de noche
I asked what time we were leavingLe dije a que horas nos vamos
She answered softlyMe contesto chiquitito
We didn't agree on thatEn eso si no quedamos
But if you bring some dollarsPero si traes dolaritos
We'll even dance a polkaHasta una polka bailamos
