Bailando Salsa Lyrics in English Mecano
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Bailando Salsa by Mecano from Spanish to English.
Sola en mitad de la pista
Alone in the middle of the dance floor
Reconocí a la Carmela en acción
I recognized Carmela in action
Yo te conozco de vista
I know you by sight
Dije acercándome con decisión
I said, approaching with determination
Ven paca fisonomista
Come here, physiognomist
Y dando un giro con transpiración
And making a turn with perspiration
Me regó por aspersión
She sprayed me all over
Bailando salsa
Dancing salsa
Bailando salsa
Dancing salsa
Bailando salsa en el Stella
Dancing salsa at the Stella
Al son del ritmo sabrosón
To the sound of the groovy rhythm
De Las caderas de Carmela
Of Carmela's hips
Ella llenaba un vestido
She filled out a dress
Escotadito y con falda mini
Low-cut and with a mini skirt
Yo iba a lo Lauren Postigo
I was dressed like Lauren Postigo
Con mi camisa color carmesi
With my crimson-colored shirt
Anudadita al ombligo
Knotted at the navel
Que lo que era
What used to be
Ir hecho un hortera
To be a slob
Ahora causa frenesí
Now causes a frenzy
Bailando salsa
Dancing salsa
Bailando salsa
Dancing salsa
Bailando salsa en el Stella
Dancing salsa at the Stella
Al son del ritmo sabrosón
To the sound of the groovy rhythm
De Las caderas de Carmela
Of Carmela's hips
Me dijo que se iba al baño
She told me she was going to the bathroom
Y yo quede en esperarla sentao
And I stayed waiting for her sitting down
Esta no vuelve, que extraño!
She's not coming back, how strange!
El camarero me trajo un recao
The waiter brought me a message
Se ha ido con Pedro Almodovar
She's gone with Pedro Almodóvar
Gorda algarroba a ver si te saca
Fat carob, let's see if he makes you something
Anunciando alguna escoba
Announcing some broom
Bailando salsa
Dancing salsa
Bailando salsa
Dancing salsa
Bailando salsa en el Stella
Dancing salsa at the Stella
Al son del ritmo sabrosón
To the sound of the groovy rhythm
De Las caderas de Carmela
Of Carmela's hips
Si la tía esta de vicio
If the chick is amazing
Acompáñala al servicio
Accompany her to the restroom
Bailando salsa con Carmela
Dancing salsa with Carmela
No seas acomodaticio
Don't be complacent
Acompáñala al servicio
Accompany her to the restroom
Si vas una noche al Stella
If you go one night to the Stella
Cuando veas que hay bullicio
When you see there's a commotion
Acompáñala al servicio
Accompany her to the restroom
Al loro con la clientela
Watch out for the clientele
En tu propio beneficio
For your own benefit
Acompáñala al servicio
Accompany her to the restroom
Que el buitre que no corre vuela
Because the vulture that doesn't run flies
Cuando te haga algún extraño
When she acts strange
Acompáñala hasta el baño
Accompany her to the bathroom
Te pasas toa la noche en vela
You spend the whole night sleepless
Bailando hasta la tarantela
Dancing until the tarantella
Cuando veas merodeo
When you see loitering
Acompáñala al aseo
Accompany her to the toilet
Las tías te sacan te sacan
The girls take you, they take you
Te sacan Las pelas
They take your money
Si le chirría el cojinete
If her bearing squeaks
Acompáñala al retrete
Accompany her to the toilet
Y así acaba esta cantinela
And so ends this ditty
Bailando salsa
Dancing salsa

Did you like this lyrics translation?
acomodaticio — accommodating / complacent
Acomodaticio translates to 'accommodating' or 'complacent'. It's a less common word that describes someone who is too willing to adapt or conform, often to their own detriment.
In the song, the lyrics warn, "No seas acomodaticio" (Don't be complacent). It's a playful yet pointed piece of advice, urging the listener not to be too trusting or easily led when dealing with the wily women at the club, especially when they ask you to accompany them to the restroom. It adds a unique flavor to the song's narrative about navigating social situations.
