La Borrachera
César Pedroso
The Drunkenness
Hey! I heard that now you like to drink
And you don't like to pay
I think that's very wrong
Oh, how good! That your drunkenness has passed
Because you drink and drink
And you don't pay me what you owe (3x)
I was very young and had a friend
My father
Who treated everyone with excellent tenderness
But the poor old man had such a tough face
That when he drank he said someone else owed him
And he forgot that in that bar where he was
He drank and drank all night long
And in the end, he never paid the bill
He was wrong
Oh, how good! That your drunkenness has passed
Why?
Because you drink and drink, do I?
And you don't pay me what you owe (2x)
But don't be surprised by this story I tell
Because there are others who never have
And always play dead
They have a system to knock you down
If they see you at the bar, they act like they want to invite you
Listen...
They talk about the barber, the ball, the shopkeeper
About what he did in his youth
And in the end, you pay the bill
Oh, how good! That your drunkenness has passed
You're always in trouble and in a dilemma, boy
Always looking for a problem
Oh, how good! That your drunkenness has passed
A piece of advice
If you don't leave the bar on the street, alcohol will take you
Oh, how good! That your drunkenness has passed
And now tell me why
Why do you drink and drink
And you don't pay me what you owe?
And the drunk man, very happy, shouted in the middle of the room
Drink up everyone, I'll be back now!
And singing, he walked away
The drunkard sang in this way
Because you drink and drink (4x)
I have come to the conclusion that the booze entertains him
Look, I know a friend of mine
That wherever he goes, he sticks around
That's why I had to sing to him in this way
Listen!
Oh, look! You drink and drink
And you don't pay me what you owe
Oh look! I look for him, I don't know where he goes
Oh look! You drink and drink
And you don't pay me what you owe
But last night I caught him, damn
Riding in a Mercedes
Oh, look! You drink and drink
And you don't pay me what you owe
Do you know what I told him?
So you don't push (hustle), so you don't dare
And you don't pay me what you owe (2x)
Shopkeeper, what's going on?
Where is he who had chocolate?
And you don't pay me what you owe. Tell me!
Man, sing with me this, pay me now, boy
Don't hide from me, come on, don't mess with me
Give it to me now, don't mess with me
Pay me now what's mine, yes, look, give it to me now
Since you don't push (hustle), and you don't dare
Shopkeeper, what's going on?
Where is he who had chocolate?
With me
Where is he who had chocolate?
And you don't pay me what you owe
