In These Shoes- Lyrics

() = Translation
I once met a man with a sense of adventure
He was dressed to thrill wherever he went
He said Let's make love on a mountain top
Under the stars on a big hard rock
I said In these shoes?
I don't think so
I said Honey, let's do it here.
So I'm sitting at a bar in Guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said I've got as powerful horse outside
Climb on the back, I'll take you for a ride
I know a little place, we can get there for the break of day.
I said In these shoes?
No way, Jose
I said Honey, let's stay right here.
No le gusta caminar. No puede montar la caballo
(I don't like to walk. He can't ride the horse)
Como se puede bailar? Es un escandolo
(How can one dance? It is a scandal)
Then I met an Englishman
Oh he said
Won't you walk up and down my spine,
It makes me feel strangely alive.
I said In these shoes?
I doubt you'd survive.
I said Honey, let's do it.
Let's stay right here.
No le gusta caminar. No puede montar a caballo
(I don't like to walk. He can't ride the horse)
Como se puede bailar? Es un escandolo
(How can one dance? It is a scandal)
