Las Botas De Charro
Cuanto Tiempo busque tu carino,
y anduve boracho, boracho perdido de tanto querete
Yo me acuerdo que estaba chiquillo y no
iba a escuela porque no aguantaba seis horas sin verte.
Siempre juntos crecio mi carino
y un dia me gritaste
"Me gustan los hombres, me aburren los ninos"
y hay te voy a quebrar mi destino y en una cantina
cambie mis canicas por copas de vino.
Que Coraje me daba conmigo,
No Tenia bigote, ni traia pistola, ni andaba a caballo
Que Coraje me daba conmigo, yo andaba descalso
y a ti te gustaban las botas de charro
Fui dejando que el tiempo pasara.
Luche contra todo senti que los anos callian en mi espalda
Y una noche que no te esperaba volviste
en silencio y le diste un beso a mi boca cerrada,
no te pude decir que te fueras ni quise que vieras
que estuve escribiendo mil veces tu nombre
solo se que te puse en mi brazos
deje que mi orgullo se sera pedasos
al fin ya era un hombre
The Cowboy Boots
How long I searched for your love,
and I walked drunk, drunk lost from loving you so much
I remember I was a kid and didn't
go to school because I couldn't stand six hours without seeing you.
My love grew stronger together
and one day you shouted at me
'I like men, I'm bored of boys'
and there I go breaking my destiny and in a bar
I traded my marbles for glasses of wine.
I was so angry with myself,
I didn't have a mustache, didn't carry a gun, didn't ride a horse
I was so angry with myself, I walked barefoot
and you liked cowboy boots.
I let time pass by.
I fought against everything, felt the years falling on my back.
And one night when I wasn't expecting you, you came back
silently and gave a kiss to my closed mouth,
I couldn't tell you to leave nor did I want you to see
that I had written your name a thousand times.
All I know is that I held you in my arms
letting my pride shatter into pieces
finally, I was a man.
