[English]

Honey, honey, honey, baby, let's stop crying now

I’ll see you in half an hour, don’t forget, we’re leaving here

Two days in life never hurt anyone

Somehow, that’s what life’s all about

They left in a car, rested in a bar

With Mexicans, margaritas, two girls, one knows how to lie

They pick a table, a couple of drinks, and start dancing

Thelma and her cowboy, who now pulls her out of there

Caught in the bad, I tried to escape

The guy tries to hurt her, Louise falls: "Get out of there!"

You’re going to ask, you’re going to ask

For mercy or I’ll blow your head off, porcupine!

...

The shot was precise, the same guy didn’t say a word anymore

They took a road, the bottle, and left

I slept with the thief, and he gave me love until I cried

"I’m going to Mexico fast," Louise said

Thelma came in and robbed the supermarket

Did you know?, your boy watched MTV, yeah

The soldiers hate those souls

And I want them for myself, yeah

I must say, I must say

Things got tougher, and you know it

Whether I dreamed it or lived it

The girls with me are Thelma and Louise, yeah

...

[Spanish]

Honey, honey, honey, baby, ya dejemos de llorar

Te veo ahí en media hora, no te olvides, nos largamos de aquí

Dos días en la vida nunca vienen nada mal

De alguna forma, de eso se trata vivir

Salieron en un coche, descansaron en un bar

Con mexicanos, margaritas, dos chicas, una sabe mentir

Eligen una mesa, un par de tragos y a bailar

Thelma y su cowboy, que ahora la saca de allí

Presa del mal, quise escapar

El tipo trata de violarla, cae Louise: "que te salgas de ahí

Vas a pedir, vas a pedir

Piedad o te vuelo la cabeza, puercoespín"

La bala fue precisa, el mismo tipo no habló más

Tomaron una carretera, la botella y se marcharon de ahí

Dormí con el ladrón y me dio amor hasta llorar

"Me voy a México rápido", dijo Louise

Thelma entró y robó en el supermarket

¿Sabías?, tu chico vio MTV, yeah

Los militares odian esas almas

Y yo las quiero para mí, yeah

Debo decir, debo decir

Las cosas se pusieron más difíciles y sabes que sí

Si lo soñé o lo viví

Las chicas conmigo son Thelma y Louise, yeah
