Lyrics

Español

¡Che mozo! Sirva un trago más de caña, yo tomo sin motivo y sin razón; no lo hago por amor que es vieja maña, tampoco pa'engañar al corazón. No tengo un mal recuerdo que me aturda, no tengo que olvidar una traición, yo tomo porque sí... ¡de puro curda! Pa'mi es siempre buena la ocasión. Y a mi, qué me importa que diga la gente que paso la vida en un mostrador. Por eso no dejo de ser bien decente, no pierdo mi hombría ni enturbio mi honor. Me gusta y por eso, le pego al escabio, a nadie provoco ni obligo jamás y al fin, si tomando me hago algún daño, lo hago conmigo... ¡De curda nomás! Si un hombre pa'tomar un trago e'caña precisa la traición de una mujer, no es hombre, no se cura, no se engaña. ¡Es maula p'al sufrir y p'al perder! Yo tengo bien templado el de la zurda no tomo p'aguantar un tropezón, yo tomo porque sí... ¡De puro curda! Pa'mi es siempre buena la ocasión.

English · machine translation

Hey waiter! Pour one more drink of cane, I drink for no reason and for no reason; I don't do it for love, which is an old habit, nor to deceive the heart. I don't have a bad memory to make me dizzy, I don't have to forget a betrayal, I drink just because... out of sheer stupidity! For me the occasion is always a good one. And to me, what do I care what people say that I spend my life at a counter. That's why I don't stop being decent, I don't lose my manliness or tarnish my honor. I like it and for that reason, I hit the scabio, I never provoke or force anyone and in the end, if I do myself some harm, I do it with me... Just for fun! If a man needs a woman's betrayal to take a drink needs the betrayal of a woman, he is not a man, he is not cured, he is not fooled. He's a maula for suffering and losing! I've got my left-handed one well tempered I don't drink to endure a stumble, I drink just because... Out of sheer hardness! For me it's always a good time.
