Singer: Vicente Fernández
Me cansé de rogarle
Me cansé de decirle
Que yo sin ella
De pena, muero
Ya no quiso escucharme
Si sus labios se abrieron
Fue pa’ decirme: Ya no te quiero
I got tired of begging her
I got tired of telling her
That without her
I would die from sorrow
She no longer wanted to listen to me
And when her lips opened
It was to tell me: I no longer love you
Yo sentí que mi vida
Se perdía en un abismo
Profundo y negro
Como mi suerte
Quise hallar el olvido
Al estilo Jalisco
Pero aquellos mariachis
Y aquel tequila me hicieron llorar
I felt that my life
Was falling into a deep, black abyss
Just like my luck
I wanted to find forgetfulness
In true Jalisco style
But those mariachis
And that tequila made me cry
Me cansé de rogarle
Con el llanto en los ojos
Alcé mi copa y brindé por ella
No podía despreciarme
Era el último brindis
De un bohemio por una reina
I grew tired of begging her
With tears in my eyes
I raised my glass and toasted to her
She couldn’t reject me
It was the last toast
Of a bohemian for a queen
Los mariachis callaron
De mi mano, sin fuerza
Cayó mi copa sin darme cuenta
Ella quiso quedarse
Cuando vio mi tristeza
Pero ya estaba escrito
Que aquella noche perdiera su amor
The mariachis fell silent
From my hand, weak
My glass fell without me noticing
She wanted to stay
When she saw my sadness
But it was already written
That I would lose her love that night
