| El Copetín (original) | El Copetín (translation) |
|---|---|
| Ahora sí es mi decisión | Now it is my decision |
| Que no vuelvo yo a probar | That I will not try again |
| Otra gota de licor | another drop of liquor |
| Quiero ser hombre decente | I want to be a decent man |
| Ya no quiero que la gente | I no longer want people |
| Al pasar me compre un ron | When I passed by I bought a rum |
| Le prometí a mi mujer | I promised my wife |
| A mis hijos y hasta el juez | To my children and even the judge |
| No volver a reincidir | Do not reoffend |
| Y esta firme mi promesa | And my promise is firm |
| Que a salud de mi entereza | That to the health of my integrity |
| Voy a echarme un copetín | I'm going to have a drink |
| Un copetín, un copetín | A cup, a cup |
| Un copetín, copetín | A cup, cup |
| Solamente un copetín | Just a cup |
| Yo ya estaba acostumbrado | I was used to it |
| A vivir siempre tomao' | To live always take' |
| Y traer cuates de un jalón | And bring friends in one fell swoop |
| Rápido iba cuesta abajo | I was going downhill fast |
| Me corrieron del trabajo | I got fired from work |
| Y el dinero se acabó | And the money ran out |
| Tantas penas he pasado | I've been through so many sorrows |
| Por este maldito trago | for this damn drink |
| Que ahora sí ya decidí | That now I have already decided |
| Alejarme de este vicio | Get away from this vice |
| Que a salud de lo | that to the health of it |
| Que he dicho me echare | What have I said? |
| Otro copetín | another cocktail |
| Un copetín, un copetín | A cup, a cup |
| Un copetín, copetín | A cup, cup |
| Solamente un copetín | Just a cup |
| En la vida los borrachos | In life drunks |
| Son unos pobres hilachos | They are poor jerks |
| Hijos de la perdición | sons of perdition |
| Mas que como ya no bebo | More than how I no longer drink |
| Por mí que les prendan fuego | For me to set them on fire |
| Soy abstemio y se acabo | I'm a teetotaler and it's over |
| No hay como ser de carácter | There is no way to be of character |
| Pa' dejar de ser un mártir | To stop being a martyr |
| Y un esclavo del sufrir | And a slave of suffering |
| Adiós época del breado | Goodbye breading season |
| A tu salud doy mi agarro | To your health I give my grip |
| Otro cuete de copetín | Another cuete de copetín |
| Un copetín, un copetín | A cup, a cup |
| Un copetín, copetín | A cup, cup |
| Solamente un copetín | Just a cup |
