Акапулько [Acapulko] [English translation]

You kissed my lips for those who loved me

But I danced rumba this time with another one

When you saw me, your face has changed.

Louis, whom you are jealous to - it's your friend Jose.

Acapulco ah-yai-yai-yai, ah-yai-yai-yai-yai-yai-yai-yai

At the light of the setting sun you immediately cast a shadow

And night, like an injured bird, fell into the blue dawn.

“You won’t cause him any harm,” I said in silence,

There is no man in Acapulco that can tame me.

Acapulco ah-yai-yai-yai

You've answered nothing, but that was the answer,

And I will never forget how you unsheathed a stylet

You set a date with me at midnight on a yellow foreland,

When Jose unsheathed his stylet behind me
