Llegó Borracho el Borracho - José Alfredo Jiménez

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.

The drunk arrived drunk,

ordering five tequilas;

and the bartender told him

"the drinks are over,

if you want to have a drink

Let's go to another cantina."

He left drunk the drunk

of the bartender's arm,

and he told her "what are you taking,

to see who falls first;

to the one who doubles the corbas

it's going to cost him his money'.

And drunk and bartender

They kept asking and asking.

Mariachis and songbook

They were having fun

but the atmosphere was felt

very close to hell.

Scream, suddenly, the drunk,

"life is worthless!".

And the bartender told him,

«My life is assured!

if you come talking

I answer you with bullets».

They both drew a gun.

the shots were crossed.

The people ran in a ball

they continued to sound plumb;

suddenly the two fell

making a cross with his arms.

And drunk and bartender,

both of them were dying.

Mariachis and songbook

they also ran away;

and so two lives ended

because of a misunderstanding.
