Mi Amigo El Borracho

My Drunk Friend

Mi Amigo El Borracho

I found him in the cantinaMe lo encontré en la cantina
He was a very sad drunkEra un borracho muy triste
He had the pain on his facetenía en la cara el dolor
Of what a thorn causesDe lo que causa una espina
Stuck in the heartClavada en el corazón

His sorrow was evidentSe le notaba el pesar
I saw him very pensiveYo lo vi muy pensativo
The reason was guessedSe adivinaba el motivo
For which he was distressedPor el que estaba afligido
Almost about to cryCasi a punto de llorar

Sitting in front of the barSentado frente a la barra
He sang with his guitarCantaba con su guitarra
Those songs that reach youDe esas canciones que llegan
That make you thirsty for beerQue te dan sed de cerveza
And tear your soul apartY te desgarran el alma

And the people listened to himY la gente lo escuchaba
And the bartender servedY el cantinero servia
And among glasses and cupsY entre cristales y copas
I noticed that his clothesMe percate que su ropa
Were just like mineEra igualita a la mía

And the people listened to himY la gente lo escuchaba
And the bartender servedY el cantinero servia
And among glasses and cupsY entre cristales y copas
I noticed that his clothesMe percate que su ropa
Were just like mineEra igualita a la mía

And as I stared at himY al verlo yo fijamente
I saw that he also saw meVi que también me veía
But everything was a reflectionPero todo era un reflejo
The drunk from the mirrorEl borracho del espejo
His image was mineSu imagen era la mía
