La vida es tan cortita 00:19
Por eso la disfruto con amigos verdaderos 00:20
Vagando por la vida, soy un hombre aventurero 00:24
Amores pasajeros 00:28
La fama y el dinero 00:30
Jamás me cambiarán, siempre seré el mismo ranchero 00:32
Y la vida se acaba 00:38
Por eso en la tomada siempre abrazo a los reales 00:40
Así me siento a gusto, son poquitos, pero leales 00:44
Uno que otro compadre 00:48
Nos cuidamos el hambre 00:50
Y aquel que es batalloso, ¡se me va a chingar su madre! 00:52
Mi amistad no está en venta, yo la doy si la respetan 00:58
No hay tiempo pa' rencores 01:04
Pero no quiero flores el día de mi despedida 01:05
Sé que hay muchos amigos que nomás son de a mentira 01:09
El saco a la medida 01:13
Lo bueno se da en vida 01:15
Y aunque ya estuve abajo, sigo siendo el mismo arriba 01:17
Hoy otra borrachera 01:23
Mi mesa ya está llena de amistades verdaderas 01:25
Lo que traigo en el alma no lo compra la cartera 01:29
Esta noche me gancho 01:33
Con amigos del rancho 01:35
Y aunque me lo repitan, seguiré siendo un borracho 01:37
Y sigo siendo el mismo 01:46
El mismo borracho 01:48
Y puro Dos Carnales 01:51
No se me enrede mi compa 01:53
Cuando me piden paro 01:59
Con gusto doy mi mano y les comparto lo que tengo 02:01
Brindo por ser borracho y ser humilde de abolengo 02:04
Siempre me ven sonriendo 02:08
La vida es un momento 02:11
Y aunque me vaya bien, jamás lo andamos presumiendo 02:12
No hay tiempo pa' rencores 02:18
Pero no quiero flores el día de mi despedida 02:20
Sé que hay muchos amigos que nomás son de a mentira 02:24
El saco a la medida 02:28
Lo bueno se da en vida 02:30
Y aunque ya estuve abajo, sigo siendo el mismo arriba 02:32
Hoy otra borrachera 02:38
Mi mesa ya está llena de amistades verdaderas 02:40
Lo que traigo en el alma, no lo compra la cartera 02:44
Esta noche me gancho 02:48
Con amigos del rancho 02:50
Y aunque me lo repitan, seguiré siendo un borracho 02:52

[English]
Life is so short
That's why I enjoy it with true friends
Wandering through life, I'm an adventurous man
Fleeting loves
Fame and money
Will never change me, I'll always be the same rancher
And life comes to an end
That's why when I'm drinking, I always hug the real ones
That's how I feel comfortable, they're few, but loyal
One or two buddies
We look out for each other
And the one who's troublesome, I'll make sure he gets what's coming!
My friendship isn't for sale, I give it if it's respected
There's no time for grudges
But I don't want flowers on the day of my farewell
I know there are many friends who are just fake
The suit fits just right
Good things happen in life
And even though I've been down, I'm still the same up top
Today, another drinking spree
My table is already full of true friendships
What I carry in my soul can't be bought with money
Tonight I'm getting hooked
With friends from the ranch
And even if they repeat it to me, I'll keep being a drunkard
And I'm still the same
The same drunkard
And pure Dos Carnales
Don't get tangled up, my friend
When they ask me for help
I gladly lend my hand and share what I have
I toast for being a drunk and being humble by nature
They always see me smiling
Life is a moment
And even if things go well, I never brag about it
There's no time for grudges
But I don't want flowers on the day of my farewell
I know there are many friends who are just fake
The suit fits just right
Good things happen in life
And even though I've been down, I'm still the same up top
Today, another drinking spree
My table is already full of true friendships
What I carry in my soul can't be bought with money
Tonight I'm getting hooked
With friends from the ranch
And even if they repeat it to me, I'll keep being a drunkard
