Compasión no quiero, lástima no quiero
I don't want compassion, I don't want pity
Quiero un amor duro que me pueda hacer vibrar
I want a fierce love that can make me tremble
Tu sabor yo quiero, tu sudor yo quiero
I want your flavor, I want your sweat
Quiero tu locura que me haga delirar
I want your madness that drives me to ecstasy
Pura caña, puro amor
Pure cane, pure love
[Coro:]
[Chorus:]
Amor a la mexicana
Love in the Mexican way
De cumbia, huapango y son
Of cumbia, huapango, and son
Caballo, bota y sombrero
Horse, boot, and sombrero
Tequila, tabaco y ron
Tequila, tobacco, and rum
Amor a la mexicana
Love in the Mexican way
Caliente al ritmo del sol
Hot to the rhythm of the sun
Despacio y luego me mata
Slowly and then it kills me
Un macho de corazón
A macho at heart
[Coro]
[Chorus]
Amor a la mexicana [4x]

Suavecito quiero, bien rudo lo quiero
Softly I want it, but I want it rough too
Quiero que me llegue hasta el fondo del corazón
I want it to reach deep into my heart
Lento yo lo quiero, siempre más yo quiero
Slowly I want it, always more I want
Quiero que me espante hasta perder la razón
I want it to haunt me until I lose my mind
Pura caña, puro amor
Pure sugarcane, pure love
[Coro 2x]
[Chorus 2x]
Amor a la mexicana
Love in the Mexican way
Amor a la mexicana

Ay quiero tu amor hasta el fondo del corazón
Oh, I want your love deep in my heart
Amor a la mexicana

Y en tu locura quiero perder la razón
And in your madness, I want to lose my mind
Amor a la mexicana
Love in the Mexican way
Suavecito, despacito yo lo quiero
Softly, slowly, that's how I want it
Amor a la mexicana
Love in the Mexican way
De cariño, de delirio yo me muero...
With affection, with delirium, I'm dying...
