El Cantinero(original) |
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 |
(translation) |
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 |
