Miesten mieli maailmalle, Poluil tietämättömille. Merien, teiden tuolle puolle, Taivalt tuonne taittoin.
Kulkurina maailmalla, Soitel' viinan vihmomana, Kansoil' tuntemattomille. (Ryypäten elämän janoon.)
Vei polkumme Meksikoon, Jossa elo on tequilaa. Argentiina, Columbia, Chile, el viva! Tiemme Brasiliaan, Jossa elo caipirinhaa. Argentiina, Columbia, Chile, el viva! Caipirinha, tequila, caipirinha, tequila, el viva!
Ei ollut huolta huomenesta, Ajatusta aionkana, Kunnes ilon vanhetessa, Koto mieltä myöden.
[English translation:]
Tequila
The men were itching to travel the world And got away to unfamiliar paths Beyond the seas and roads That's where they wandered
Those tramps of the world Played possessed by spirits And were heard by unknown nations
Drinking to the thirst of life
Once the craving for drink had gone Once they'd played far and wide Once they'd gone to the ends of the earth Once they'd thrown a good party
There was no reason for concern Neither did cares ever cross their mind But once the joy dwindled away Homesickness struck 'em all
Our path led to Mexico Where your life's tequila Argentina, Columbia, Chile, el viva! Our road branched off to Brazil Where your life's caipirinha Argentina, Columbia, Chile, el viva! Caipirinha, tequila, caipirinha, tequila, el viva!Teksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
