Lyrics
Español
¡Muchachos!... Si cualquiera de estas noches me ven llegar al café, tambalenado medio 'colo' babeando y hablando solo, ¡no me pregunten por qué! Borracho... Con la melena revuelta, la corbata floja y suelta y con rencor al mirar, no me pregunten, muchachos, por qué he venido borracho y de mi tengan piedad. En la luz de unos ojos divinos se embriagaba mi alma y mi fe y en la copa de miel sus labios hasta ayer de pasión me embriagué. Hoy que vivo de nuevo en tinieblas añorando la luz de su amor necesito hundir mi existencia y es por eso que busco el alcohol. ¡Muchachos!... Si cualquiera de estas noches me ven llegar al café tambaleando medio 'colo' babeando y hablando solo ¡no me pregunten por qué! Borracho... Refugiado en el alivio del brebaje dulce y tibio que nos prodiga el licor. tal vez me olvide de aquella que hasta ayer fuera mi estrella y hoy me mata de dolor.

Guys!... If any of these nights you see me arrive at the café, staggering half 'colo' drooling and talking to myself, don't ask me why! Drunk... With his hair disheveled, his tie loose and loose and with a grudge to look at, don't ask me, boys, why I've come here drunk and have pity on me. In the light of divine eyes my soul and my faith were intoxicated and in the cup of honey her lips until yesterday I was intoxicated with passion. Today that I live again in darkness longing for the light of her love I need to sink my existence and that's why I look for alcohol. Boys!... If any of these nights you see me arrive at the café staggering half 'colo drooling and talking to myself don't ask me why! Drunk... Sheltered in the relief of the sweet and warm brew that liquor lavishes on us. Maybe I'll forget the one who until yesterday was my star and today she kills me with pain.
