Original text with translation
José Alfredo Jiménez, Mariachi Vargas de Tecalitlan
Cantinero, que todo lo sabes
He venido a pedirte un consejo
Pero quiero que tú no me engañes
No me digas que no eres parejo
Ya tomé mil botellas contigo
Y me has dicho las cosas más crueles
No me digas que no soy tu amigo
Y confiesa también que la quieres
Yo no voy a matarme por nadie
Yo mi vida la vivo borracho;
Si me cambia por ti, qué bonito:
Tomaremos los dos a lo macho
(¡Sirve las otras pues!
¡De una vez!)
Cantinero que todo lo puedes
No me tengas respeto ni miedo
Tú me das un balazo, si quieres
Yo aunque quiera pegarte, no puedo
Se me doblan las piernas de sueño
Dame, pues, otra mugre botella
Pero dime que tú eres su dueño
Y brindemos contentos por ella
Yo no voy a matarme por nadie
Te la dejo;
por Dios, te la dejo
Pero choca tu copa conmigo
Y me das o te doy un consejo
Bartender, you know everything
I have come to ask you for advice
But I want you not to deceive me
Don't tell me you're not even
I already had a thousand bottles with you
And you've said the cruelest things to me
Don't tell me I'm not your friend
And also confess that you love her
I'm not going to kill myself for anyone
I live my life drunk;
If she changes me for you, how nice:
We'll take both to the macho
(Serve the others then!
At once!)
Bartender who can do everything
Have no respect or fear of me
You give me a bullet, if you want
Even if I want to hit you, I can't
My legs are wobbly from sleep
So give me another filthy bottle
But tell me that you are its owner
And let's toast happy for her
I'm not going to kill myself for anyone
She left it to you;
by God, I leave it to you
But clink your glass with me
And give me or I'll give you some advice
