Lyrics

Borrachita de tequila
Llevo siempre el alma mía
Para ver si se mejora
De esta cruel melancolía
Aay, por ese querer
Pos', qué le'de hacer?
Si el destino me lo dió
Para siempre padecer
Como buena Mexicana
Sufriré el dolor tranquila
Al fin y al cabo mañana
Tendré un trago de tequila
Aay, por ese querer
Pos', qué le'de hacer?
Aunque me haya traicionado
No lo puedo aborrecer
Me llaman la tequilera
Como si fuera de pila
Porque a mi me bautizaron
Con un trago de tequila
Aay, ya me voy mejor
Pos', qué hago yo aquí?
Disque por la borrachera
Dicen todo lo perdí

Lyrics translation

Drunk tequila
I always carry my soul
To see if it improves
Of this cruel melancholy
Aay, for that wanting
Pos', what to do?
If fate gave it to me
Forever suffer
As a good Mexican
I will suffer the quiet pain
At the end of the morning
I'll have a shot of tequila
Aay, for that wanting
Pos', what to do?
Even if he betrayed me
I can't hate him.
They call me the tequila maker.
Like it's a pile
Because I was baptized
With a shot of tequila
Aay, I'm going better.
Pos', what am I doing here?
Dial by drunkenness
They say all I lost
