Ella entró al bar de Don Pedro con su novio a lado
She walked into Don Pedro's bar with her boyfriend by her side
Minifalda negra, escote presumiendo bronceado
Black miniskirt, low-cut showing off her tan
Cómo se te ocurre nena traer tu novio a cuestas
How could you, babe, bring your boyfriend along?
Mientras que en la barra se organizaban las apuestas
While bets were being placed at the bar
Cien a que no se la levantas me dijo un fulano
A hundred says you won't take her, said a guy
Y cerramos trato con la mano
And we shook on the deal
Y cerramos trato con la mano
And we shook on the deal
Y cerramos trato con la mano
And we shook on the deal
Había una historia oculta que no sabía el fulano
There was a hidden story that the guy didn't know
Y era que al supuesto novio se le caía la mano
And it was that the supposed boyfriend was losing his grip
Me le acerqué a la mariposa y le propuse un negocio
I approached the butterfly and proposed a deal to it
Pasaron 17 segundos y ya era mi socio
Seventeen seconds passed and he was already my partner
Le dije que al tipo de la esquina se le caía la mano
I told him that the guy on the corner was dropping his hand
Mientras que señalaba al fulano
While I pointed at that dude
Mientras que señalaba al fulano
While I pointed at that dude
Mientras que señalaba al fulano
While I pointed at that dude
La noche te trae sorpresas
The night brings you surprises
Como la que le ocurrió al fulano
Like the one that happened to that dude
Volteé a ver hacia la barra y mi socio le rozaba la mano
I turned to the bar and my partner was brushing his hand
Mientras que yo con el campo abierto me sentí Robert Redford
While I, with the field open, felt like Robert Redford
Y aquí no se termina la historia
And here the story doesn’t end
Y aquí no se termina la historia
And here the story doesn’t end
Y aquí no se termina la historia
And here the story doesn’t end
¡Yeah!
Yeah!
Le solté mis mejores piropos con respecto a su ropa
I threw my best compliments regarding her outfit
Mientras mis ademanes de macho nos pedían otra copa
While my macho gestures were asking for another drink
Le dije el mismo rollo de siempre me estoy enamorando
I told her the same old line, I'm falling in love
Vente conmigo esta noche y lo discutimos sudando
Come with me tonight and we’ll talk it over sweating
Me dijo te estás equivocando no ando en busca de macho
She told me, you're mistaken, I'm not looking for a macho
A mi me gustan las mujeres
I like women
A mi me gustan las mujeres
I like women
A mi me gustan las mujeres
I like women
La noche te trae sorpresas como la que me ocurrió por lanzado
The night brings you surprises like what happened to me for being bold
Te sientes dueño del mundo y te dejan con cara de asustado
You feel like the king of the world and they leave you looking scared
Mientras mi socio perseguía por el bar al fulano
While my buddy chased that guy around the bar
Y aquí no se termina la historia
And here the story doesn't end
Y aquí no se termina la historia
And here the story doesn't end
Aquí no se termina la historia
Here the story doesn't end
¡Yeah!
Yeah!
Ella ligó a una vecina y mi socio se fue con un mesero
She hooked up with a neighbor and my buddy left with a waiter
Yo me tomé otro tequila y el fulano llenó su cenicero
I took another tequila and that guy filled his ashtray
Juramos no volver a apostar por amores inciertos
We swore never to bet on uncertain loves again
Y aquí sí se termina la historia
And here the story truly ends
Aquí sí se termina la historia
Here the story truly ends
Aquí sí se termina la historia
Here the story truly ends
La historia, ¡yeih!
The story, yay!
