Tomo Y Obligo
Tomo y obligo, mandese un trago
Que hoy necesito el recuerdo matar
Sin un amigo, lejos del pago,
Quiero en su pecho mis penas volcar.
Beba conmigo, y si se empaña
De vez en cuando mi voz al cantar
No es que la llore porque me engaña
Yo se que un hombre no debe llorar.
Si los pastos conversaran a esta pampa le diria
De que modo la queria, con que fiebre la adore.
Cuantas veces de rodillas tembloroso yo me he incado,
Bajo el arbol deshojado donde un dia la bese...
Y hoy al verla envilecida, a otros brazos entregada,
Fue pa mi una puñalada, y de celos me cegue...
Y le juro todavia, no consigo convencerme
Como pude contenerme si hay nomas no la mate...
Tomo y obligo, mandese un trago,
De las mujeres mejor no hay que hablar
Todas amigo dan muy mal pago
Y hoy mi experiencia lo puede afirmar
Siga un consejo, no se enamore,
Y si una vuelta le toca ocicar
Fuerza canejo, sufra, no llore,
Que un hombre macho no debe llorar
Si los pastos conversaran a esta pampa le diria
De que modo la queria, con que fiebre la adore.
Cuantas veces de rodillas tembloroso yo me he incado,
Bajo el arbol deshojado donde un dia la bese...
Y hoy al verla envilecida, a otros brazos entregada,
Fue pa mi una puñalada, y de celos me cegue...
Y le juro todavia, no consigo convencerme
Como pude contenerme si hay nomas no la mate...
Take and Force
Take and force, pour yourself a drink
'Cause today I need to drown the memories
Without a friend, far from home,
I want to spill my sorrows in your heart.
Drink with me, and if my voice gets
A little shaky now and then while I sing
It's not that I'm crying 'cause she deceives me
I know a man shouldn't cry.
If the grass could talk, it would tell this plain
How much I loved her, with what fever I adored.
How many times on my knees, trembling, I knelt,
Under the bare tree where I kissed her one day...
And now seeing her degraded, given to other arms,
It felt like a stab to me, and I was blinded by jealousy...
And I swear to you still, I can't convince myself
How I managed to hold back if I just didn't kill her...
Take and force, pour yourself a drink,
It's better not to talk about women
All they do, my friend, is pay you back poorly
And today my experience can confirm that.
Take this advice, don't fall in love,
And if you ever get the chance to shoot
Stay strong, buddy, suffer, don't cry,
'Cause a real man shouldn't cry.
If the grass could talk, it would tell this plain
How much I loved her, with what fever I adored.
How many times on my knees, trembling, I knelt,
Under the bare tree where I kissed her one day...
And now seeing her degraded, given to other arms,
It felt like a stab to me, and I was blinded by jealousy...
And I swear to you still, I can't convince myself
How I managed to hold back if I just didn't kill her...
