Y Casi Vendo el Caballo
José Larralde
Almost Sold the Horse
Hey boss, if you trust me
I might have a drink
I've always paid up
And never cheated
And it's not because of the vice
That I have to leave town
Just today I paid the rent
And almost sold the horse
Just today I paid the rent
And almost sold the horse
If it wasn't for the boss
Understanding how bad I'm doing
I would've been left with nothing
And who knows for how long
I explained that there's no way
Even if he charges me cheap
I explained that there's no way
Even if he charges me cheap
The farm doesn't produce anymore
Especially when there's no grass
Luckily he understood
And I paid him with the cart
Remember last month
I lost the sheep
To be able to cure the old lady
Who was feeling a bit sick
Today to pay for the pharmacy
I sold the three-plow
But it's not to complain
That I approached the counter
I know it's not gentlemanly
To drink on credit
Especially if the cupboard
Is left with nothing
But I feel a burning
That rises in my throat
It's not because I sing
Or drink too hot
It comes suddenly
Like a dog to the plant
Just for that I ask
For a drink on credit
I wouldn't want to be a bother
And forgive me for being bold
Just a wine I ask for
Until tomorrow or the day after
I'm gonna celebrate on Sunday
The getting worse every time
I'm gonna celebrate on Sunday
The getting worse every time
And I'm gonna drink in honor
Of what's happening to me
And if I end up crying
It won't be because I'm a crybaby
