Llego Borracho El Borracho

El Piporro's song "Llego Borracho El Borracho" is a vivid narrative that captures the chaotic and often tragic consequences of excessive drinking and misunderstandings. The song begins with a drunken man, referred to as 'el borracho,' arriving at a cantina and demanding five tequilas. Each drink has a specific purpose: to wet his lips, open his mouth, warm him up, and give him courage, as he plans to ask for credit. However, the cantinero (bartender) informs him that the drinks are finished and suggests they move to another cantina.

The story takes a turn as the borracho and the cantinero leave together, both inebriated and without money. They challenge each other to see who can drink more, with the loser having to pay. The atmosphere becomes increasingly tense, and the presence of mariachis and songsters adds to the chaotic scene. The borracho's declaration that life is worthless escalates the situation, leading the cantinero to respond with a threat of violence.

The climax of the song is a dramatic shootout between the borracho and the cantinero. Both men draw their pistols and exchange gunfire, causing panic among the patrons. In the end, both the borracho and the cantinero lie dying, their lives ending in a tragic misunderstanding. The mariachis and songsters flee, leaving behind a scene of chaos and loss. The song serves as a poignant reminder of the dangers of excessive drinking and the potential for violence that can arise from seemingly trivial disputes.
