Llegó Borracho El Borracho
José Alfredo Jiménez
The Drunkard Arrived Drunk
The drunkard arrived drunk asking for five tequilas
One to wet the lips, another to open the mouth
Another to warm up and the fourth to gather courage
He was going to ask for credit
And the bartender told him
The drinks are over
If you want a drink
Let's go to another bar
(The drunkard arrived drunk)
The drunkard left drunk with the bartender's arm
And he said: What will you have
Let's see who falls first
The one who bends his knees
Will have to pay up
And drunkard and bartender
Kept asking for more and more
Mariachis and singers
Were entertaining them
But it felt in the air
Very close to hell
Suddenly the drunkard shouted: Life is worth nothing
And the bartender told him
My life is insured
If you come talking nonsense
I'll answer with bullets
They both pulled out a gun
They exchanged shots
People ran in a ball
Gunshots kept sounding
Suddenly both fell
Making a cross with their arms
And drunkard and bartender
Both were dying
Mariachis and singers
Also ran away
And so ended two lives
Because of a misunderstanding
