Lyrics
Dicen que el vicio asesino, acaba con los humanos
Que me traigan más tequila, y al rato todos pagamos
Para que me cuido tanto, si de este mundo nos vamos
Que me traigan un mariachi, y un conjunto norteño
Cantinero no te rajes, ni digas que tienes sueño
Me gusta ver que amanezca, dice sonriendo un norteño
Yo quiero vivir tomando, no como aquel rico pobre
Que cuida mucho su lana, muy codo y no gasta el cobre
Y el día que muera por algo, lo entierran pa' que no estorbe
Traigan botellas de vino, cerveza de la mejor
Quiero gozar de lo bueno, mujeres al por mayor
El dinero hay que gastarlo, metalizado no estoy
A que vienes a este mundo, si no se viene a gozar
Dinero nunca te llevas, en que lo vas a gastar
Interpreta mi silencio, por puños va a derrochar
Yo quiero vivir tomando, no como aquel rico pobre
Que cuida mucho su lana, muy codo y no gasta el cobre
Y el día que muera por algo, lo entierran pa' que no estorbe
Lyrics translation
They say that murderous vice kills humans
Get me some more tequila, and soon we all pay
So I take care of myself so much, if we leave this world
Get me a mariachi, and a northern outfit.
Bartender don't crack, Don't say you're sleepy
I like to see it Dawn, says smiling a northerner
I want to live drinking, not like that rich poor
He takes great care of his wool, very elbow and does not spend copper
And the day he dies for something, they bury him so he doesn't get in the way
Bring bottles of wine, beer of the best
I want to enjoy the good, wholesale women
The money has to be spent, metallized I'm not
Why do you come into this world, if you do not come to enjoy
Money you never take away, you're going to spend it on
Interpret my silence, for fists will waste
I want to live drinking, not like that rich poor
He takes great care of his wool, very elbow and does not spend copper
And the day he dies for something, they bury him so he doesn't get in the way
