Toca mi canción English translation

Play that old song
Toca esa vieja canción
(That one day I danced with my baby)
Que un día bailé con mi nena
Fill that glass with rum
Llena ese vaso de ron
My throat is burning
Que la garganta me quema

Break my heart
Rómpeme el corazón
Because even if I drink, there is no drunkenness that can drown my sorrow.
Porque aunque beba no hay borrachera que ahogue mi pena
Music, smoke and alcohol
Música, humo y alcohol
Verses that he barely remembers
Versos que apenas recuerda

Where is the waitress?
¿Dónde está la camarera?
He staggers and curses the blood that runs in his veins
Se tambalea y maldice la sangre que corre en sus venas
He asked for an explanation
Pidió una explicación
A no was found as an answer
Un no halló por respuesta

Lights and laughter and the screaming old man
Luces y risas y el viejo que grita
That one of these days he will take his life
Que un día de estos se quita la vida
And the day I die, light a candle for me.
Y el día que muera ponedme una vela
No one in the house is waiting for him for dinner anymore.
Ya nadie en la casa a cenar le espera
The song is over.
Ya terminó la canción
He would kill himself to see her.
Se mataría por verla
