Lyrics & Translation
I don't want compassion
I don't want pity
I want a tough love
That can make me vibrate
I want your flavor
I want your sweat
I want your madness to make me delirious
Pure cane, pure love!
Love, Mexican style
Of cumbia, huapango and son
Horse, boot, and hat
Tequila, tobacco and rum
Love, Mexican style
Hot to the rhythm of the sun
Slowly and then he kills me
My macho man of my heart
Love, Mexican style
Of cumbia, huapango and son
Horse, boot, and hat
Tequila, tobacco and rum
Love, Mexican style
Hot to the rhythm of the sun
Slowly and then he kills me
My macho man of my heart
Love, Mexican style
Love, Mexican style
Love, Mexican style
Love, Mexican style
I want it softly
I want it real rough
I want it to reach me
To the bottom of my heart
I want it slow
I always want more
I want it to scare me until I lose my mind
Pure cane, pure love!
Love, Mexican style
Of cumbia, huapango and son
Horse, boot, and hat
Tequila, tobacco and rum
Love, Mexican style
Hot to the rhythm of the sun
Slowly and then he kills me
My macho man of my heart
Love, Mexican style
Of cumbia, huapango and son
Horse, boot, and hat
Tequila, tobacco and rum
Love, Mexican style
Hot to the rhythm of the sun
Slowly and then he kills me
My macho man of my heart
Love, Mexican style
(Love, Mexican style)
Ay, I want your love
To the bottom of my heart
(Love, Mexican style)
Ay, in your madness I want to lose my mind
(Love, Mexican style)
Softly, slowly I want it
(Love, Mexican style)
The affection, of delirium, I'm dying
