El Borracho

The Drunkard

El Borracho

One night I was so wastedUna noche bien borracho
Thinking I was the big shotCreyendome el manda más
With a girl, maybeCon una niña quizás
I just wanted to have some funQuise divertirme un rato
Not knowing that her dadHay no sabiendo que el papá
Was right there in the yardEstaba del la'o del patio
Hearing the nonsenseHay oyendo la necedad
That this drunk was shoutingQue gritaba este borracho
Hearing the nonsenseHay oyendo la necedad
That this drunk was shoutingQue gritaba este borracho

Good evening, missBuenas noches señorita
How's it going around here?Hay como están por aqui
I came to pay you a visitVengo a hacerle la visita
That I promised long agoQue hace tiempo le ofrecí
Give me the scoop on your brotherDeme razon de su hermano
Give me the scoop on your folksDeme razon de sus viejos
'Cause I came to talk to themQue yo vengo a hablar con ellos
To ask for your handPara pedirle la mano
Oh, tonight I'm taking her awayHay que esta noche me la llevo
Even if the devil takes meAun cuando me lleve el diablo
Oh, tonight I'm taking her awayHay que esta noche me la llevo
Even if the devil takes meAun cuando me lleve el diablo

Good evening, sirMuy buenas noches señor
I answered respectfullyContesto decentemente
I want you to keep in mindQuiero que tenga presente
That I have a better boyfriendQue tengo un novio mejor
That my brother and my dadQue mi hermano y mi papá
Are right there in the yardEstan del lado del patio
And they've been listening for a whileY lo estan oyendo hace rato
And they're coming armed over hereY vienen arma'os pa' aca
Oh, when I saw it was trueHay cuando vi que era verdad
There was no drink left for the drunkNo hubo trago pa'l borracho
Oh, when I saw it was trueHay cuando vi que era verdad
There was no drink left for the drunkNo hubo trago pa'l borracho
