El Querreque (Versión Original Popularizada)
Trío Chicontepec
The Querreque (Original Version Popularized)
The little beer is good
For the one who is sleepless
For the one who is sleepless
The little beer is good
I prefer a little tequila
Which is the best for the bloated
Which is the best for the bloated
And even the potbellied one gets rid of it
Querreque

Querreque
Of whiskey and aguardiente
Which is the best liquor
Which is the best liquor
Of whiskey and aguardiente
I say aguardiente
Because it's intoxicating
It intoxicates the president
Also the governor

I met the bony one
Without knowing it was death
Without knowing it was death
I met the bony one
The stubborn one told me
Don't drink aguardiente
You will die from a hangover
And your luck will be bitter

Querreque
When death leans
To take mortals away
To take mortals away
When death leans
Medicine is worthless
Nor artificial lives
Nor chicken broths
With all their materials

A querreque in a stream
Was singing in despair
Was singing in despair
A querreque in a stream
And a carpenter told him
Man, live carefully
For being a coalman
An old woman has blackened me

When I start drinking
I am descended from all
I am descended from all
When I start drinking
My father is aguardiente
My godfather is mezcal
Refino is my relative
And pulque, my blood brother
