Lyrics

Español

Dicen los amigos que mi vino es triste, que no tengo aguante ya para el licor, que soy un maleta que ya no resiste de la caña brava ni el macho sabor... Y es que ya se ha muerto todo lo que existe y entre copas quiero matar mi rencor... Siempre estoy borracho desde que te fuiste, siempre estoy borracho... pero es de dolor... Amigos, a todos pido perdón si amargado y tristón lagrimeando me ven... Quiero domar mi emoción pero aflojo también como todo varón. Amigos, cuando se tiene un pesar dentro del corazón, no se puede evitar que el vino se vuelva pesado y llorón como el triste aletear de mi canción. Dicen los amigos que no soy el mismo, que hoy en cuanto bebo me da por no hablar, por arrinconarme con mi pesimismo y que hace ya tiempo no me oyen cantar... Y no saben ellos que no es la bebida sino que me faltan el aire y la luz, que en el alma llevo sangrando una herida y voy por la vida cargando mi cruz...

English · machine translation

Friends say that my wine is sad, that I no longer have the stamina for liquor, that I'm a suitcase that can no longer resist of the caña brava or the macho taste... And the fact is that everything that exists has died already and between drinks I want to kill my rancor... I'm always drunk since you left, I am always drunk... but it is of pain... My friends, to all I ask forgiveness if bitter and sad you see me crying... I want to tame my emotion but I loosen up too like every man. My friends, when you have a regret in your heart, you can't help it that the wine becomes heavy and weeping like the sad fluttering of my song. Friends say that I'm not the same, that today as soon as I drink I don't want to talk, to corner myself with my pessimism and that they haven't heard me sing for a long time... And they don't know that it's not the drink but that I'm lacking air and light, that in my soul I carry a bleeding wound and I go through life carrying my cross...
