A ver los borrachitos con palmas

Let's watch the drunks with their hands clapping

Paso mis días triste y borracho

I spend my days sad and drunk

Pensando solo en ti

Thinking only of you

Como sé que tu ya no me quieres

Because I know you don't love me anymore

Chica, chica presumida

Girl, girl so proud

Trato de olvidarte y no consigo

I try to forget you but can't

Por eso es que me tomo todo el vino

That's why I drink all the wine

Quisiera olvidarte, quisiera olvidarte

I wish I could forget you, I wish I could forget you

Por eso es que vivo en la cantina

That's why I live in the tavern

Borracho, borrachito

Drunk, little drunk

Paso mis días solito

I spend my days all alone

Borracho, borrachito

Drunk, little drunk

Tomando vino, tomando vino
