The check

El cheque

After cashing the check, I went to a cantinaDespues de cambiar el cheque, me fui para una cantina
To throw back a few drinkspara aventarme unos tragos
There were some mariachis, without hats and wearing sandalsestaban unos mariachis, sin sombrero y con huaraches
Singing Juan Charrasqueado.cantando el Juan Charrasqueado.

Behind the bar was a very pretty girldetras de la barra estaba una chamaca muy guapa
Who kept staring at meque se me quedo mirando
Right off the bat, I told her how I liked hera las primeras de cambio, le dije como me gusatas
Don't get me all riled up.no me andes alborotqando.

She said I'm not riling you up, and if I'm really looking at youMe dijo yo no alboroto y si te miro deveras
It's because I've liked youes porque tu me has gustado
I said if you're sincere and of course singlele dije si eres sincera y desde luego soltera
We'll tie the knot soon.pa pronto nos amarramos.

That night was a real party, a true partyEsa noche fue parranda, pero parranda deveras
Because I was all stirred upporque andaba alborotado
We drank all night, sang with the mariachitomamos toda la noche, cantamos con el mariachi
Even Juan Charrasqueado.tambien el juan charrasqueado

Another day in the morning when I'm waking upOtro dia por la mañana cuando ya voy despertando
With a terrible hangovercon una cruda espantosa
At the edge of the bed was the cantineraa la orilla de la cama estaba la cantinera
Saying 'I am your wife'diciendo " yo soy tu esposa"

She had a paper in hand, with writing and signaturestenia un papel en la mano, con letra y puño firmados
Where I accepted heren donde yo la aceptaba
Here you have me now, I'm all messed upaqui me tienen ahora, estoy todito amolado
Because of a party.por causa de una parranda.
