Me Gusta el vino

I like wine, because wine is good
But when water springs pure and crystalline from Mother Earth
I like wine even more!!!
I like wine because wine is red, sir
Because it drips from the grape
Because it tastes like beautiful countryside
And the lovely dark-skinned girl I like

I like wine because wine is good
Because it comes from the work of the land
Because it intoxicates when one is sober
And because it cheers when one is sad

I like wine because it whips when one is lazy
Out there and doesn't dare, sir
When it sings on the edge of a spur
Or when it draws little dots on a girl's skirt

I like wine for that, because it's wine
And because it's in the hoop of the cueca
Because it's in the rest on the road
And on the beloved table with my old lady

I like wine because it made me cry, I don't know where
When I went out to drink once with friends
And tried to show that I was already a man
When my belly button wasn't even dry yet

I like wine because it hurt me
When I faced oblivion some time ago
And I spent almost a year drinking
And I couldn't get it out of me

I like wine because it wasn't a vice
Rather, it was a well-learned lesson
Life demands sacrifices from us
And one can't just go around throwing... Life

(Chorus)
There goes death waiting for me
There goes under the arbor
There goes death waiting for me
There goes to grab a jug

I like wine because I'm happy
Because I put another tale in the guitar
Because I can sing with feeling
About the things and people of my homeland

I like wine next to the barbecue
With boiled potatoes and salad
Next to the chili and the well-seasoned pepper
That my mother used to make

I like wine on Saturday afternoon
And I like wine on Sunday morning
And so my buddy doesn't think badly of me
I like wine almost all week

There goes death waiting for me

Here's a serious piece of advice for those who want it
You have to measure yourself when drinking, not overdo it, well
For example, from my belly to my head
I drink 6 liters and a quarter
Without a container
