Esta Noche Me Emborracho
Enrique Santos Discépolo
Tonight I Get Drunk
Alone, faded, worn out
I saw her this early morning
Leaving a cabaret
Thin, with a skinny neck
And a hanger in her cleavage
Under the chin
Crooked, dressed like a young girl
Dyed and flirting
Her nudity
She looked like a plucked rooster
Showing off
Her pecked skin
I don't know when I can't take it anymore
Seeing her like that, I split
To not cry
And to think that ten years ago
She was my madness!
That I went as far as betrayal
For her beauty!
That what is now a wreck
Was the sweet folly
Where I lost my honor
That crazy for her beauty
I took the old lady's bread
I became vile and sinful
That I was left without a friend
That I lived in bad faith
That I was on my knees
Without morals, a beggar
When she left
I never dreamed I would see her
In a requiem
As cruel as today
Look, if it's not to commit suicide
That for that trinket
I am what I am!
Fierce revenge of time
That makes you see destroyed
What one loved
This encounter has hurt me so much
That if I think about it more
I'll end up poisoned
Tonight I get drunk well
I get wasted, completely wasted
To not think
