Me he quedado, simplemente, solo
I've been left, simply, alone
Me he quedado, como siempre, hasta el final
I've been left, as always, until the end
Se recogen ya los vasos rotos
They're already picking up the broken glasses
Triste y decadente forma de acabar
A sad and decaying way to end
Hace poco luché con un monstruo
Not long ago I fought with a monster
Y fue un exorcismo necesario
And it was a necessary exorcism
De repente me ha cambiado el rostro
Suddenly my face has changed
El tequila rápido es muy malo para mí
Quick tequila is very bad for me
Y me he preguntado: "¿por qué otra vez estoy pensando en ti?"
And I've wondered: 'why am I thinking of you again?'
Estoy en una cantina
I'm in a bar
Estoy escuchando una canción que yo pedí
I'm listening to a song that I requested
Me están sirviendo ya la del estribo
They're already serving me the one at the end
Otra vez mi pensamiento rumbo a ti
Once again my thoughts are headed to you
Y me he preguntado: "¿por qué otra vez estoy pensando en ti?"
And I've asked myself: "why am I thinking of you again?"
Antes de tocar, aquí yo no era así
Before touching, I wasn't like this
Ahora me reviento casi diario
Now I almost burst every day
De como era antes, tú te debes de acordar
You must remember how I was before
El Café Tacuba ya parece bar
Café Tacuba now looks like a bar
