Lyrics

These are the song’s words. This take is instrumental.

Español

Adiós, muchachos, compañeros de mi vida, barra querida de aquellos tiempos. Me toca a mí hoy emprender la retirada, debo alejarme de mi buena muchachada. Adiós, muchachos. Ya me voy y me resigno... Contra el destino nadie la talla... Se terminaron para mí todas las farras, mi cuerpo enfermo no resiste más... Acuden a mi mente recuerdos de otros tiempos, de los bellos momentos que antaño disfruté cerquita de mi madre, santa viejita, y de mi noviecita que tanto idolatré... ¿Se acuerdan que era hermosa, más bella que una diosa y que ebrio yo de amor, le di mi corazón, mas el Señor, celoso de sus encantos, hundiéndome en el llanto me la llevó? Es Dios el juez supremo. No hay quien se le resista. Ya estoy acostumbrado su ley a respetar, pues mi vida deshizo con sus mandatos al robarme a mi madre y a mi novia también. Dos lágrimas sinceras derramo en mi partida por la barra querida que nunca me olvidó y al darles, mis amigos, mi adiós postrero, les doy con toda mi alma mi bendición...

English · machine translation

Farewell, boys, companions of my life, beloved bar of those times. It is my turn today to retire, I must go away from my good lads. Farewell, boys. I'm leaving and I'm resigned... Against destiny, no one can measure up... For me all the parties are over, my sick body can't take any more... Memories of other times memories of other times, of the beautiful moments that I once enjoyed close to my mother, holy old lady, and my little girlfriend that I idolized so much... Do you remember how beautiful she was, more beautiful than a goddess and drunk with love, I gave her my heart I gave her my heart, but the Lord, jealous of her charms, plunging me in tears took her away from me? God is the supreme judge. There is no one who can resist him. I am accustomed to respect his law, for my life has been undone with his commands by stealing my mother and my girlfriend too. Two sincere tears I shed in my departure for the beloved bar who never forgot me and to give them, my friends, my last farewell, I give you with all my soul my blessing...
