Lyrics

Llegó borracho el borracho,
pidiendo cinco tequilas;
y le dijo el cantinero
«se acabaron las bebidas,
si quieres hecharte un trago
vamonos a otra cantina».
Se fue borracho el borracho
del brazo del cantinero,
y le dijo «que te tomas,
a ver quien se cae primero;
a aquél que doble las corbas
le va a costar su dinero».
Y borracho y cantinero
seguían pidiendo y pidiendo.
Mariachis y cancionero
los estaban divirtiendo,
pero se sentia el ambiente
muy cerquita del infierno.
Grito, de pronto, el borracho,
«¡la vida no vale nada!».
Y le dijo el cantinero,
«¡Mi vida está asegurada!,
si vienes hechando habladas
yo te contesto con balas».
Los dos sacaron pistola,
se cruzaron los balazos.
La gente corría hecha bola,
seguían sonando plomazos;
de pronto, los dos cayeron
haciendo cruz con sus brazos.
Y borracho y cantinero,
los dos, se estaban muriendo.
Mariachis y cancionero
también salieron corriendo;
y así acabaron dos vidas
por un mal entendimiento.

Lyrics translation

Came drunk the drunk,
ordering five tequilas;
and the bartender told him
"no more drinks,
if you want to have a drink
let's go to another canteen."
He left drunk the drunk
of the bartender's arm,
and he said, " What do you take,
let's see who falls first;
to the one who bends the corsets
it's going to cost you your money."
And drunk and bartender
they kept asking and asking.
Mariachis and Songbook
they were having fun.,
but you could feel the atmosphere
very close to hell.
Scream, suddenly, the drunk,
"life is worthless!».
And the bartender told him,
"My life is assured!,
if you come making talk
I answer you with bullets."
They both pulled a gun.,
the bullets crossed.
People ran like crazy.,
they kept ringing plumb lines.;
suddenly, they both fell
cross with his arms.
And drunk and bartender,
they were both dying.
Mariachis and Songbook
they also ran out;
and so two lives ended
a misunderstanding.
