La Ranchera Lyrics English Translation by Estopa
Looking through the window, the half moon reigned
On TV, they weren’t doing anything
It was an ordinary night, almost perfect
Maybe a little colder than I like
And I decided to take a stroll before sleeping
I descended the stairs like a race car
Rolling, my heart accelerating
The night stretched out before me, what a sight
A taxi stopped on the street
All the ordinary nights when the half moon reigns
I pass by the border to have a drink
I know a bar downtown where you can smoke inside
The bartender is my friend and has good feelings
I met him one crazy night before going out
No one is called Deceptions, I’m not twenty anymore
I’ve cheated destiny, and it’s turned out well
Not like those artists who become washed up
So people start dancing slowly on the dance floor
I prefer to sing ballads, they’re more appreciated
Much more entertaining and make you want to drink
Drink and drink, and drink again
One drink after another until dawn
Drink and drink, and drink again, as if it were the last time
Drink and drink, and drink again, if the world ends
May it find me well
And drink and drink, and drink and drink, and drink and drink
And may you be screwed by a fish
