La Botas del Charro(original) |
| Cuánto tiempo busque tu cariño |
| Y andube borracho |
| Borracho perdido |
| De tanto quererte |
| Yo me acuerdo que estaba chiquillo |
| Y no iba a la escuela |
| Por que no aguantaba |
| Seis horas sin verte |
| Siempre juntos; |
| creció mi cariño |
| Y un día me gritastes |
| «¡Me gustan los hombres |
| Me aburren los niños!» |
| Y ahi te voy, a quebrar mi destino |
| Y en una cantina |
| Cambié mis canicas |
| Por copas de vino |
| Qué coraje me daba conmigo: |
| No tenia bigotes |
| Ni traia pistolas |
| Ni andaba a caballo |
| Qué coraje me daba conmigo: |
| Yo andaba descalzo |
| Y a ti te gustaban |
| Las botas de charro |
| Fui dejando que el tiempo pasara |
| Luché contra todo |
| Sentí que los años |
| Caían en mi espalda |
| Y una noche, que no te esperaba |
| Rompiste el silencio |
| Y le distes un beso |
| A mi boca cerrada |
| No te pude decir que te fueras |
| Ni quise que vieras |
| Que estube escribiendo |
| Mil veces tu nombre |
| Sólo se que te puse en mis brazos; |
| Dejé que mi orgullo |
| Se hiciera pedazos |
| Al fin ya era un hombre |
| Qué coraje me daba conmigo: |
| No tenia bigotes |
| Ni traia pistolas |
| Ni andaba a caballo |
| Qué coraje me daba conmigo: |
| Yo andaba descalzo |
| Y a ti te gustaban |
| Las botas de charro |
| (translation) |
| How long I looked for your love |
| And I was drunk |
| lost drunk |
| from loving you so much |
| I remember I was a kid |
| And I didn't go to school |
| Why couldn't I hold on? |
| six hours without seeing you |
| Always together; |
| my love grew |
| And one day you yelled at me |
| "I like men |
| Children bore me!” |
| And there I go, to break my destiny |
| and in a canteen |
| I changed my marbles |
| by glasses of wine |
| What courage he gave me with myself: |
| I didn't have mustaches |
| I didn't even bring pistols |
| I didn't even ride a horse |
| What courage he gave me with myself: |
| I was barefoot |
| and you liked them |
| The charro boots |
| I was letting time pass |
| I fought against everything |
| I felt that the years |
| They fell on my back |
| And one night, I wasn't expecting you |
| you broke the silence |
| and you gave him a kiss |
| to my closed mouth |
| I couldn't tell you to leave |
| I didn't want you to see |
| What was I writing? |
| a thousand times your name |
| I only know that I put you in my arms; |
| I let my pride |
| to pieces |
| At last he was a man |
| What courage he gave me with myself: |
| I didn't have mustaches |
| I didn't even bring pistols |
| I didn't even ride a horse |
| What courage he gave me with myself: |
| I was barefoot |
| and you liked them |
| The charro boots |
