Y Casi Vendo el Caballo

Almost Sold the Horse

Y Casi Vendo el Caballo

Hey boss, if you trust meOiga patrón, si me fía
I might have a drinkCapaz que me tomo un trago
I've always paid upTotal yo siempre he pagao
And never cheatedY nunca le metí un clavo
And it's not because of the viceY no ha de ser por el vicio
That I have to leave townMe tenga que ir del pago

Just today I paid the rentJustito hoy pague el arriendo
And almost sold the horseY casi vendo el caballo
Just today I paid the rentJustito hoy pague el arriendo
And almost sold the horseY casi vendo el caballo

If it wasn't for the bossDe no ser porque el patrón
Understanding how bad I'm doingComprendió lo mal que ando
I would've been left with nothingMe hubiera quedado a pata
And who knows for how longY eso quien sabe hasta cuando

I explained that there's no wayLe explique que no hay manera
Even if he charges me cheapNi aunque me cobre barato
I explained that there's no wayLe explique que no hay manera
Even if he charges me cheapNi aunque me cobre barato

The farm doesn't produce anymoreLa chacra no da pa' mas
Especially when there's no grassY menos cuando no hay pasto
Luckily he understoodMenos mal que comprendió
And I paid him with the cartY le pague con el carro

Remember last monthSe acuerda que el mes pasao
I lost the sheepMe quede sin las ovejas
To be able to cure the old ladyPa' poder curar la vieja
Who was feeling a bit sickQue andaba medio ratica
Today to pay for the pharmacyHoy pa' pagar la botica
I sold the three-plowVendí el arado de tres rejas

But it's not to complainPero no es pa' traerle quejas
That I approached the counterQue me arrimé al mostrador
I know it's not gentlemanlyYo se que no es de señor
To drink on creditAndar chupando de fiao
Especially if the cupboardY menos si se ha quedado
Is left with nothingSin nada el aparador

But I feel a burningPero siento que un ardor
That rises in my throatQue me nace en la garganta
It's not because I singQue no ha de ser porque canta
Or drink too hotNi por tragar muy caliente
It comes suddenlySe me viene de repente
Like a dog to the plantComo perro pa' la planta

Just for that I askSolo por eso le pido
For a drink on creditQue me eche un trago de fiao
I wouldn't want to be a botherNo quisiera ser pesao
And forgive me for being boldY perdone lo atrevido
Just a wine I ask forUn vino no mas le pido
Until tomorrow or the day afterHasta mañana o pasao

I'm gonna celebrate on SundayVi'a festejar el domingo
The getting worse every timeEl andar cada vez pior
I'm gonna celebrate on SundayVi'a a festejar el domingo
The getting worse every timeEl andar cada vez pior
And I'm gonna drink in honorY vi'a a chupar en honor
Of what's happening to meDe lo que me anda pasando
And if I end up cryingY si termino llorando
It won't be because I'm a crybabyNo ha de hacer por llorador
