[English]

Aah aah, ah, ay

...

...

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

...
