El Borracho

The Drunkard

El Borracho

He's asking on the streetVa pidiendo por la calle
For rolling papersPapelillos de fumar
He's asking on the streetVa pidiendo por la calle
For rolling papersPapelillos de fumar
A lighter to igniteUn mechero pa encender
And tobacco to rollY el tabaco pa liar
But he puts the restPero el pone lo demas

But he puts the restPero el pone los demas
The little ball to mixLa bolita pa mezclar
The little hands to lightLas manitas pa encender
And the little mouth to smokeY la boquita pa fumar
And a 'buzz' afterwardsY un "moraito" después

ImpressiveImpresionante
The binges he getsLas borracheras que pilla
And this guy is impressiveY este tio es impresionante
He can't find his houseNo encuentra su casa
Even if it's right in front of himNi aunque la tenga delante

He's asking on the streetVa pidiendo por la calle
Six bucks to eatSeis euritos pa comer
He's asking on the streetVa pidiendo por la calle
Six bucks to eatSeis euritos pa comer
And when he has enoughY cuando tiene bastante
He spends it on drinkingSe lo gasta en beber
And he gets hallucinationsY las coge alucinantes

And he gets hallucinationsY las coge alucinantes
Every day he's wastedTo' los dias una tajá
And in the bars, the tavernsY en las barras las tabernas
He starts to sing and danceSe pone a canta y baila
And jump on all the tablesY a saltar por todas las mesas

ImpressiveImpresionante
The binges he getsLas borracheras que pilla
And this guy is impressiveY este tio es impresionante
He can't find his houseNo encuentra su casa
Even if it's right in front of himNi aunque la tenga delante

By profession, he was a drunkardDe profesion era borracho
And in his dreams, he was a bullfighterY en sus sueño fue torero
By profession, he was a drunkardDe profesion era borracho
And in his dreams, he was a bullfighterY en sus sueños fue torero
He goes down the street shoutingVa por la calle gritando
I'm the best in the whole worldSoy el mejor del mundo entero
And his life is coming to an endY su vida se va a acabando

And his life is coming to an endY su vida se va a acabando
And they took him to the hospitalY al hospital lo llevaron
With a good highCon to su buen colocon
He wanted to fly from so highQuiso volar desde tan alto
From the fifth floor to a truckDesde el quinto hasta un camion

He called Saint Peter to heavenAl cielo llamo a San Pedro
And asked him where the bar isY le pregunto donde esta el bar
He called Saint Peter to heavenAl cielo llamo a San Pedro
And asked him where the bar isY le pregunto donde esta el bar
And Saint Peter repliedY San Pedro le respondio
Here, there are no bingesAquí no existen las tajás
Here, you come to restAquí se viene a descansar

Here, you come to restAquí se viene a descansar
And he asked God for a destinyY le pidio a dios un destino
If he could let himQue si lo podia dejar
Sleep in Jerez to drink wineDormir en jerez pa beber vino
Or in Ceuta to smokeO en Ceuta para fumar
