Tequila Con Limón

Tequila with Lime

Tequila Con Limón

I carry music in my soul,Traigo musica en el alma,
And a song right in my chest;Y un cantar aqui en el pecho;
A song that tears me apartUn cantar que me desgarra
When it’s made with love;Cuando lo hecho con amor;
I learned it in those fields,Lo aprendi por esos campos,
With scars from the plow;Con heridas de barbecho;
With slices from machetesCon tajadas de machetes
And the strum of the guitar.Y vibrar de guitarron.

I learned it at the cockfight,Lo aprendi por el palenque,
Betting on a fine rooster,Apostando a un gallo fino,
And I feel good enoughY me siento suficiente
To sing it right here;Pa' cantarlo por aqui;
To the pride of Jalisco,Al orgullo de jalisco,
They named me their godson,Lo nombraron mi padrino,
And there are no more godchildren,Y no tiene mas ahijados,
'Cause they already got me.Porque ya me tiene a mi.

Brave and red blood,Sangre brava y colorada,
Challenging like a knife's edge,Retadora como filo de puñal,
It’s the blood of my people,Es la sangre de mi raza,
Dreamy and full of songs,Soñadora y cancionera,
Brave and combative blood,Sangre brava y peleonera,
Bold and feistyValentona y pendenciera
Like a cactus thorn.Como penca de nopal.

At the feet of a horse,A las patas de un caballo,
I always gamble my cash;Juego siempre mi dinero;
And if I sometimes lose,Y si algunas veces fallo,
I’ll get even in a bet.Me desquito en un albur.
I always have on my lips,Traigo siempre a flor de boca,
The tune that I love mostLa tonada que mas quiero
And to see who gets it next,Y pa' ver a quien le toca,
And to toast to their health.Y pa hecharla a su salud.

And feel the blood boilY sentir hervir la sangre
All through my whole bodyPor todito el cuerpo entero
To shout "Long live Jalisco!"Pa' gritar "viva jalisco!"
With my soul and heart.Con el alma y corazón.
How beautiful, how beautifulQue bonito y que bonito
To arrive at a snack barEl llegar a un merendero
And drink from a little cupY beber en un jarrito
A tequila with lime.Un tequila con limón.

Brave and red blood...Sangre brava y colorada...
