In These Shoes? Lyrics

Artist: Kirsty MacColl
Album: Tropical Brainstorm

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 siting at a bar in Guadalajara
In walks a guy with a faraway look in his eyes
He said: I've got a poweful 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 a caballo
(I don't like to dance, I can't ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? Es un escandolo
(How can I dance? It's 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 dance, I can't ride a horse)
Como se puede bailar? Es un escandolo
(How can I dance? It's a scandal)

Thanks for posting but the Spanish to English translation is not correct (and the Spanish is not written correctly either).
This is what it really means:

I do not like to walk.
You cannot ride a horse.
How can you dance?
It’s a scandal.
