Y Si Tomo Que
Paquita La Del Barrio
And If I Drink, So?
Why do I drink, why do I like the wine, friends ask me
And although they know my problem, they don't understand
The sorrow I carry with me here
Life, the ungrateful life, has given me only sadnesses
I was born to suffer, and that is why they see me today
With a cup in my hands, and this is how I am going to die
And if I drink, what?
Who cares about my life?
Only I know of my pain
The motive and the cause
And if I drink, what?
Sooner or later
I’m going to leave this world
Never to return
