Tomo Y Obligo

Take and Force

Tomo Y Obligo

Take and force, pour yourself a drinkTomo y obligo, mandese un trago
'Cause today I need to drown the memoriesQue hoy necesito el recuerdo matar
Without a friend, far from home,Sin un amigo, lejos del pago,
I want to spill my sorrows in your heart.Quiero en su pecho mis penas volcar.
Drink with me, and if my voice getsBeba conmigo, y si se empaña
A little shaky now and then while I singDe vez en cuando mi voz al cantar
It's not that I'm crying 'cause she deceives meNo es que la llore porque me engaña
I know a man shouldn't cry.Yo se que un hombre no debe llorar.

If the grass could talk, it would tell this plainSi los pastos conversaran a esta pampa le diria
How much I loved her, with what fever I adored.De que modo la queria, con que fiebre la adore.
How many times on my knees, trembling, I knelt,Cuantas veces de rodillas tembloroso yo me he incado,
Under the bare tree where I kissed her one day...Bajo el arbol deshojado donde un dia la bese...
And now seeing her degraded, given to other arms,Y hoy al verla envilecida, a otros brazos entregada,
It felt like a stab to me, and I was blinded by jealousy...Fue pa mi una puñalada, y de celos me cegue...
And I swear to you still, I can't convince myselfY le juro todavia, no consigo convencerme
How I managed to hold back if I just didn't kill her...Como pude contenerme si hay nomas no la mate...

Take and force, pour yourself a drink,Tomo y obligo, mandese un trago,
It's better not to talk about womenDe las mujeres mejor no hay que hablar
All they do, my friend, is pay you back poorlyTodas amigo dan muy mal pago
And today my experience can confirm that.Y hoy mi experiencia lo puede afirmar
Take this advice, don't fall in love,Siga un consejo, no se enamore,
And if you ever get the chance to shootY si una vuelta le toca ocicar
Stay strong, buddy, suffer, don't cry,Fuerza canejo, sufra, no llore,
'Cause a real man shouldn't cry.Que un hombre macho no debe llorar

If the grass could talk, it would tell this plainSi los pastos conversaran a esta pampa le diria
How much I loved her, with what fever I adored.De que modo la queria, con que fiebre la adore.
How many times on my knees, trembling, I knelt,Cuantas veces de rodillas tembloroso yo me he incado,
Under the bare tree where I kissed her one day...Bajo el arbol deshojado donde un dia la bese...
And now seeing her degraded, given to other arms,Y hoy al verla envilecida, a otros brazos entregada,
It felt like a stab to me, and I was blinded by jealousy...Fue pa mi una puñalada, y de celos me cegue...
And I swear to you still, I can't convince myselfY le juro todavia, no consigo convencerme
How I managed to hold back if I just didn't kill her...Como pude contenerme si hay nomas no la mate...
