Lyrics
¡Muchachos!...
Si cualquiera de estas noches
me ven llegar al café,
tambalenado medio 'colo'
babeando y hablando solo,
¡no me pregunten por qué!

Borracho...
Con la melena revuelta,
la corbata floja y suelta
y con rencor al mirar,
no me pregunten, muchachos,
por qué he venido borracho
y de mi tengan piedad.

En la luz de unos ojos divinos
se embriagaba mi alma y mi fe
y en la copa de miel sus labios
hasta ayer de pasión me embriagué.
Hoy que vivo de nuevo en tinieblas
añorando la luz de su amor
necesito hundir mi existencia
y es por eso que busco el alcohol.

¡Muchachos!...
Si cualquiera de estas noches
me ven llegar al café
tambaleando medio 'colo'
babeando y hablando solo
¡no me pregunten por qué!

Borracho...
Refugiado en el alivio
del brebaje dulce y tibio
que nos prodiga el licor.
tal vez me olvide de aquella
que hasta ayer fuera mi estrella
y hoy me mata de dolor.
English translation
Guys!...
If any of these nights
you see me arrive at the café,
staggering half 'colo'
drooling and talking to myself,
don't ask me why!

Drunk...
With his hair disheveled,
his tie loose and loose
and with a grudge to look at,
don't ask me, boys,
why I've come here drunk
and have pity on me.

In the light of divine eyes
my soul and my faith were intoxicated
and in the cup of honey her lips
until yesterday I was intoxicated with passion.
Today that I live again in darkness
longing for the light of her love
I need to sink my existence
and that's why I look for alcohol.

Boys!...
If any of these nights
you see me arrive at the café
staggering half 'colo
drooling and talking to myself
don't ask me why!

Drunk...
Sheltered in the relief
of the sweet and warm brew
that liquor lavishes on us.
Maybe I'll forget the one
who until yesterday was my star
and today she kills me with pain.
