Tequila e Sal – Bilingual Lyrics /English

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Tequila and salt, with you, one by one they dry up

You leave my phone like a flight, today you’re my storm zone

Follow my plan, my patron, my patron, my beast

Keep going at the party

Even if we don’t need to wait

Don’t leave

We’ve repeated it a thousand times

We face it all without fear

We don’t need a plan

By your side

Time goes by a thousand times

But quickly

Me with you, me with you, baby

Listen

Cuddles

I don’t believe in anyone else

Me with you, me with you, baby

Listen

Cuddles

I don’t believe in anyone else

Me with you, me with you, baby

It’s just me and you in my life

I’ll do everything so you can be my wife

I adore your smile, your gaze, and your vibe

Together, everything is perfect, everything is nice

Massages and cuddles

No answering calls or exchanging messages

And soon I’ll bring you coffee

I’ll do everything so you can mark an X on the calendar

We’ll go without thinking about coming back, you’re my queen

And treat you like a soldier, even without makeup

Even without clothes, it’s only what you want

Your love won’t change anymore

Even if I give you everything, come into my world with me

I just want to hug you, to see you laugh

Today it’s just me and you, come with me

You’re by my side, and I won’t leave

Listen

Cuddles

I don’t believe in anyone else

Me with you, me with you, baby

Listen

Cuddles

I don’t believe in anyone else
