Lyrics

Bajaste del norte
Sin mas que cuatro hijos
Y aquel cielo de tus ojos
Y una mujer que te aprendio a seguir
Buscabas el peso
Sin darte por vencido
Mas al final de cada dia
Las manos vacias
Volvias a encontrar
Por eso te entiendo
Cuando en un vaso te vas
Quien sabe adonde
Buscando eso que llaman paz
Y aunque sabes que te dicen
Viejo borracho sos tan bueno
Que ni siquiera al diablo los mandas
Los mandas

Lyrics translation

You came down from the North.
No more than four children
And that Sky in your eyes
And a woman who taught you to follow
You were looking for the weight
Without giving up
But at the end of every day
Empty hands
You found it again
That's why I understand you.
When in a glass you go
Who knows where
Looking for what they call peace
And even though you know what they tell you
Old drunk you're so good
You don't even send them to hell.
You command them.
