Lyrics
Yo tenía un chorro de voz
Yo era el amo del falsete
Ay, la, ra, lai
Por el canto me di al cuete
Y por fumar me dio la tos
Y de aquel chorro de voz
Sólo me quedó un chisguete
Cantaba un titipuchal
Las chamacas me admiraban
Por mis cantos suspiraban
Y yo me daba a desear
Pero hoy que quise cantar
Los gallos se alborotaban
Pobre voz que anda al garete
Por la parranda y el cuete
Por fumar y por la tos
Cuando quise echar falsete
Solo sale un vil chisguete
De aquel gran chorro de voz
Yo tenía un chorro de voz
Y me daba mi paquete
Me admiró Jorge Negrete
Pedro Vargas y otros dos
Pero del chorro de voz
Sólo me quedo el chisguete
Anteanoche fui a cantar
Festejaba Casimira
Al primer compás de lira
Comenzaron a gritar
El sombrero y la chamarra
Del señor que se retira
Al que toma y al que canta
Se le pudre la garganta
Como a mí me dió la tos
Cuando quiero echar falsete
Sólo sale un vil chisguete
De aquel gran chorro de voz

Lyrics translation
I had a voice jet
I was the master of the falsetto
Ay, la, ra, lai
For the singing I gave to the cuete
And smoking gave me a cough
And that blast of voice
I only had one spark left.
He sang a titipuchal
The chamacas admired me
For my songs they sighed
And I was wishing
But today I wanted to sing
The Roosters were uproar
Poor voice that walks in the crotch
By the parranda and the cuete
Smoking and coughing
When I wanted to throw falsetto
Only a vile Spark comes up
From that great stream of voice
I had a voice jet
And he'd give me my package.
Jorge Negrete admired me
Pedro Vargas and two others
But from the voice jet
I just keep the spark
The night before I went to sing
Celebrating Casimira
To the first lira measure
They started screaming
The hat and jacket
From the Lord who retires
The one who takes and the one who sings
His throat is rotting.
As I got a cough
When I want to throw falsetto
Only a vile Spark comes out
From that great stream of voice
