Que se vaya con él cuando quiera,
con ese amigazo fayuto y sin fe;
que se vayan, que Dios los ayude,
que tarde o temprano los encontraré.
Que se lleve los besos que, un día,
juró que eran míos, con todo su amor;
que esta mala jugada que me hace
le va a costar caro, tendrá su dolor.

Si los dos tienen la culpa
de todo lo que me pasa,
ella porque nunca, nunca,
tan mala la imaginé.
Y el otro por sinvergüenza,
porque lo tuve en mi casa
y abusó de la confianza
que siempre le dispensé.

Pero no es nada, compadre,
a ver, mozo, más escabio,
que esta noche es Nochebuena
y mañana es Navidad.
Déjeme, tomo de rabia,
déjeme mojar los labios
para festejar la fiesta,
la fiesta y mi soledad.

Si la vida no vale ni medio,
no sirve pa' nada; repita, patrón.
Hago mal en decirlo, que un día
robé pa' vestirla, llegué a ser ladrón.
Todo el tiempo que estuvo a mi lado,
ni un beso, ni un mango le supe negar;
y si no, que lo diga ella misma,
si no soy derecho, si me se portar.

English translation

Let him go with him whenever he wants,
with that faithless, fayuto friend of his;
let them go, God help them,
that sooner or later I'll find them.
Let him take away the kisses that, one day,
swore they were mine, with all his love;
that this bad move you're making on me
will cost him dearly, he will have his pain.

If the two of them are to blame
for everything that happens to me,
her because I never, never,
I never imagined her to be so bad.
And the other one for being a scoundrel,
because I had him in my house
and abused the trust
that I always gave him.

But it's nothing, compadre,
let's see, waiter, more scabio,
tonight is Christmas Eve
and tomorrow is Christmas.
Let me, I'm drunk with rage,
let me wet my lips
to celebrate the feast,
the party and my loneliness.

If life is not worth half a thing,
it's worthless; repeat, boss.
I'm wrong to say it, that one day
I stole to dress her, I became a thief.
All the time she was by my side,
not a kiss, not a mango I was able to deny her;
and if not, let her say it herself,
if I'm not straight, if I know how to behave.
