El Último Trago
José Alfredo Jiménez
The Last Drink
Take this bottle with me
And in the last drink we leave
I want to see what your forgetfulness tastes like
Without putting your hands in my eyes
Tonight I'm not going to beg you
Tonight you're really going to leave
How difficult it is to have to leave you
Without feeling that you don't love me anymore
The years have taught me nothing
I always make the same mistakes
Toasting with strangers again
And to cry for the same pains
Take this bottle with me
And in the last drink you kiss me
We hope there are no witnesses
Just in case you were embarrassed
If one day we accidentally stumble
Don't bend down or talk to me face to face
We just shake hands
And after people murmur
The years have taught me nothing
I always make the same mistakes
Toasting with strangers again
And to cry for the same pains
Take this bottle with me
And in the last drink we leave
