A cold beer's great for those who can't sleepEs buena la cervecita para quien ande desvelado
For those who can't sleep, a cold beer's greatPara quien ande desvelado es buena la cervecita

I prefer a little tequilaYo prefiero un tequilita
It's the best for feeling bloatedEs lo mejor para lo hinchado

And even the beer belly goes awayY hasta lo pansón se quita

I say it's the hard liquorYo digo que el agua ardiente

And even the governor tooTambién al gobernador

I ran into the Grim ReaperMe encontré con la huesuda
Not knowing it was deathSin saber que era la muerte
Not knowing it was deathSin saber que era la muerte
I ran into the Grim ReaperMe encontré con la huesuda

She told me, "You stubborn foolMe dijo la testarura
Don't drink that hard liquorNo bebas de él agua ardiente
You'll end up with a hangoverVas a morir de una cruda
And your luck will be bitter"Y amarga será tu suerte
