De Tanda En Tanda
Enrique Belisario
From Round to Round
Bring me aguardiente because that's what I want
Open an account for me, there's money for that
Don't turn your back on me, Mr. bartender
And you gentlemen be my companions
Because a little while ago they hurt my little heart
I, who was so quiet, they stepped on it, they crushed it
They pierced it from side to side with a dagger of pure steel
Without compassion, they destroyed it, they broke it with my chest
Bring me a shot to get drunk quickly
I saw her with another giving each other little kisses on a ledge
I felt very sorry because the people nearby all saw me
I hurried up and here you have me with a hangover and despair
And a couple of tears on my face that suddenly appeared
If I don't die from this, I think I won't die anymore
If I don't die from this, my buddy, I think I won't die anymore
Don't leave me alone today, I beg you
Be careful not to close, Mr. bartender
I know that more than one laughed at me when they saw me
Because they told them what they did to me
But I don't care, my buddy, because I prefer
That they see me drunk and even crying, but never like a beggar
That's why I'm drinking aguardiente and singing more than a cockroach
This is a cry that lasts a while, I have my pride and with it I die
After this rough patch, I'll recover
Bring me another round, dear bartender, I beg you
I know that right now the early morning sun is peeking through the window
And all those who accompanied me fell asleep with fatigue
My only companion left is my old serenading cuatro
Will I leave by this path
Or rather, buddy, bring me aguardiente because that's what I want
