La Independiente Lyrics in English Alejandro Santamaria , Pitizion
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Independiente by Alejandro Santamaria from Spanish to English.
Ella llegó vestida de rojo
She arrived dressed in red
Se puso a bailar enfrente de mí picándome el ojo
She started dancing in front of me, winking at me
Yo la miré de arriba a abajo
I looked at her from top to bottom
Le dije sin relajo tranquila que conmigo
I told her, seriously, calm down, with me
Tú no va a pasar trabajo y ella dijo
You won't have any trouble, and she said
'Puede ser, ese cuento me lo sé'
"Maybe, I know that story"
Tu mejor tomate un trago tranquilo que yo pago
You'd better have a drink, relax, I'll pay
Y yo pensé en voz alta que fue Dios el que la trajo
And I thought out loud that God was the one who brought her
Y ella dijo 'puede ser, vamo a ver'
And she said "maybe, we'll see"
Y me tocó sufrir
And I had to suffer
Porque es inteligente quizá diferente
Because she's intelligent, maybe different
No supe que decir
I didn't know what to say
Que no puedo con ella, que mujer tan bella
That I can't handle her, what a beautiful woman
Y me tocó sufrir
And I had to suffer
Pero aunque diga que no yo sigo como un loco tras su huella
But even if she says no, I keep following her trail like a madman
Que a mi me pone caliente, una mujer independiente
Because she turns me on, an independent woman
Yo un whisky en las rocas él tomaba vino
I had a whiskey on the rocks, he drank wine
Creo que un Malbec de esos argentinos
I think a Malbec, one of those Argentinian ones
La pasamos bien pasando
We had a good time
Pero no soy de las que van de 0 a 100
But I'm not one of those who go from 0 to 100
Me llevó pa' mi casa dije: 'luego te escribo
He took me home, I said: "I'll text you later
De la puerta no pasas no te las tires de vivo'
You're not coming past the door, don't act smart"
Que tal el lo loco
How crazy it is
Si lo que dura va poquito a poco
If what lasts goes little by little
Y le tocó sufrir
And he had to suffer
Porque le hablé de frente
Because I spoke to him directly
Pienso diferente
I think differently
No supo que decir
He didn't know what to say
Para su propuesta
To his proposal
Tuve una respuesta
I had an answer
Y le tocó sufrir
And he had to suffer
Aunque le diga que no
Even if I tell him no
Él sigue como un loco tras mi huella
He keeps following my trail like a madman
Porque lo pone caliente
Because it turns him on
Una mujer independiente
An independent woman
Ella volvió al mismo sitio
She returned to the same place
Todo cambió ya no anda sola
Everything changed, she no longer walks alone
Anda conmigo
She walks with me
Y me tocó sufrir
And I had to suffer
Porque es inteligente
Because she's intelligent
Piensa diferente
She thinks differently
No supe que decir
I didn't know what to say
Que no puedo con ella, que mujer tan bella
That I can't handle her, what a beautiful woman
Y me tocó sufrir
And I had to suffer
Pero aunque diga que no yo sigo como un loco tras su huella
But even if she says no, I keep following her trail like a madman
Porque a mi me pone caliente, una mujer independiente
Because she turns me on, an independent woman
