Agua Salada – Lyrics Meaning in English – Los Tigres del Norte

Agua salada means salt wáter. This song is about a young girl who fell in love with an older man. He told her that she was too young and turned her down, but before letting her go he kissed her cheek and tasted her tears. Now, they’ve been reunited years later.

Singer: Los Tigres del Norte

Ayer miré a la chiquilla
Ya convertida en mujer
Aquella que cuando niña
Me dijo: “lo quiero a usted”

Yesterday I looked at the little girl
Already turned into woman
The one who when was a small girl
Told me: “I love you”

Le dije: “tú eres bonita
Pero te falta la edad
Ya llegará tu momento
Que sola puedas volar”

I told her: “you’re pretty
But you’re too young
Your time will come
When you can fly alone”

Agua salada probé
Porque sus ojos lloraron
De su mejilla sequé
Sus lágrimas con mis labios

I tasted salt water
Because her eyes cried
I dried from her cheeks
Her tears with my lips

Agua salada probé
Porque besé su mejilla
Un beso le regalé
Porque lloraba la niña

I tasted salt water
Because I kissed her cheek
I gifted her a kiss
Because the girl cried

Ayer la vi en mi camino
Mi pelo, ya encaneció
Me dijo muy dulcemente
“¿Cómo le ha ido señor?”

Yesterday I saw her on my way
My hair, already greyed
She told me very sweetly
“How’s it gone sir?”

“Yo soy la misma chiquilla
Ahora sí tengo la edad
Para decir que lo quiero
Que no lo puedo olvidar”

“I’m the same little girl
Now I’m old enough
To say what I want
I can’t forget it”

Agua salada probé
Porque de nuevo lloraba
Yo soy un atardecer
Y tú una linda mañana

I tasted salt water
Because she cried again
I’m dusk
And you’re beautiful early morning

Agua salada probé
Porque besé su mejilla
Un beso le regalé
Como cuando era chiquilla

I tasted salt water
Because I kissed her cheek
I gifted her a kiss
Like when she was little
