Lyrics
Por hay dejé la botella
Donde me bebí tu amor
Alguien se quedó con ella
Yo no se pa' que la quiere
Ya me tomé lo mejor…
El mundo es una cantina
Tan grande como el dolor
Me distes copas de besos
Luego serviste desprecios
Yo te pagé con traición…
Las cartas de la baraja
Tienen mucho parecido
Con algunas de las gentes
Tu eres la sota de copas
Muy bonita cantinera
Pero se te van los clientes…
Camino ya recorrido
No debe volverse a andar
Oye bien lo que te digo
Árbol que nace torcido
No se endereza jamás…
Un cielo lleno de nubes
No deja pasar el sol
Y ese amor que yo te tuve
Con tanto orgullo que tienes
No te llegó al corazón…
Las cartas de la baraja
Tienen mucho parecido
Con algunas de las gentes
Tu eres la sota de copas
Muy bonita cantinera
Pero se te van los clientes…
Lyrics translation
For there I left the bottle
Where I drank your love
Someone stayed with her.
I don't know why he wants her.
I've had my best.…
The world is a canteen
As great as pain
You gave me kissing glasses
Then you served contempt
I paid you treacherously…
The cards in the deck
They look a lot like each other.
With some of the people
You are the jack of cups
Very nice bartender
But you're losing customers.…
Path already traveled
He must never walk again.
Listen to what I'm saying.
Tree that is born twisted
Never straightens…
A sky full of clouds
Doesn't let the sun pass
And that love that I had you
With so much pride you have
It didn't hit your heart…
The cards in the deck
They look a lot like each other.
With some of the people
You are the jack of cups
Very nice bartender
But you're losing customers.…
