[English]

I would like to know who makes the wine

To get them to make it for everyone to drink

Because that is why I live the way I live

To see if, without wine, I can finally forget her and make her pay

I remember that unforgettable date

When she left me waiting for so long

She told me: "I'll be right back, I won't be long"

And I'm still waiting for her, bathed in my tears

That is why since then I have lost my way

I am a stranger, I am a pile of sorrows

I spend the nights locked up in there

Looking at that portrait, surrounded by bottles

Come back, baby

Come back

...

Bring me a poisoned one

...

Never, never, never will I be able to forget her

I carry her here in my chest, deeply embedded

That is why I beg the one who makes the wine

To send a bottle of poisoned wine

That is why since then I have lost my way

I am a stranger, I am a pile of sorrows

I spend the nights locked up in there

Looking at that portrait, surrounded by bottles

I would like to know who makes the wine

...

[Spanish]

Quisiera yo saber quién hace el vino

Pa' hacerlo que se tome todo el que haga

Porque por eso vivo como vivo

A ver si ya sin vino, la olvido y me la paga

Recuerdo aquella fecha inolvidable

Cuando ella me dejo esperando tanto

Me dijo: "ahorita vengo, no me tardo"

Y todavía la espero, bañado con mi llanto

Por eso desde entonces me he perdido

Soy un desconocido, soy un montón de penas

Las noches las pasó ahí encerrado

Mirando aquel retrato, rodeado de botellas

Regresa, chiquita

Regresa

Tráiganme una envenenada

Jamás, jamás, jamás podré olvidarla

La llevo aquí en mi pecho bien clavada

Por eso les suplico al que hace el vino

Que mande una botella de vino envenenada

Por eso desde entonces me he perdido

Soy un desconocido, soy un montón de penas

Las noches las pasó ahí encerrado

Mirando aquel retrato, rodeado de botellas

Quisiera yo saber quién hace el vino
