El Muchacho Alegre
Valentín Elizalde
The Happy Boy
I am the happy boy
who wakes up drinking
with my bottle of wine
and playing cards.
If you want to know who I am
ask Cupid
I am the happy boy
favored by heaven.
With a new deck of cards
I would like to see them play
let's see if they lose to me
even the way they walk.
You are like a watermelon
you have the green on the outside
if you want someone else to enjoy you
ask God for my death.
If you want to know who I am
ask Cupid
I am the happy boy
favored by heaven.
With this I say goodbye
to the edge of a green field
here they end singing
verses of the happy boy.
