Por Las Parrandas

For the partiesPor las parrandas
I lost my parentsPerdi a mis padres
I lost your kissesPerdi tus besos
I lost my honorPerdi mi honor

Because of the misfortunePor la desgracia
Of being a drunkDe ser borracho
My life sankSe hundio mi vida
Into perditionEn la perdicion

A thousand timesMil ocasiones
My holy motherMi madre santa
Advised meMe aconsejaba
Against alcoholContra el licor

The poor thingLa pobresita
Died cryingMurio llorando
Thinking of her sonPensando en su hijo
Who didn't understandQue no entendio

For the partiesPor las parrandas
I lost the kissesPerdi los besos
And a great affectionY un gran cariño
That forgot meQue me olvido

Because of the drinkPor la bebida
My poor lifeMi pobre vida
Sank into the mudSe hundio en el fango
And perditionY la perdicion

If the partiesSi las parrandas
Were the causeFueron la causa
Of my tragedyDe mi tragedia
And my sufferingY de mi penar

Let the drinks comeQue vengan copas
So that my sad lifePa que se acabe
May endMi triste vida
That I will cryQue he de llorar
