Lyrics

Translation

Aturdido y abrumado

Dazed and overwhelmed

Por la duda de los celos

By the doubt of jealousy

Se ve triste en la cantina un bohemio ya sin fe

A bohemian, now faithless, looks sad in the bar

Con los nervios destrozados y llorando sin remedio

With shattered nerves and crying without remedy

Como un loco atormentado por la ingrata q se fue

Like a tormented madman by the ungrateful one who left

Se ve siempre acompañado del mejor de los amigos

Always accompanied by the best of friends

Q le acompaña y le dice: "ya esta bueno de licor"

Who accompanies him and says, "Enough of liquor"

Nada remedia con llanto

Nothing remedies with tears

Nada remedia con vino

Nothing remedies with wine

Al contrario la recuerda, mucho mas su corazon

On the contrary, it makes him remember, even more, his heart


Una noche como un loco

One night, like a madman

Mordio la copa de vino

He bit the wine glass

Y le hizo un cortante filo

And made a sharp edge

Q su boca destrozo

That tore up his mouth

Y la sangre q brotaba, confundiose con el vino

And the blood that flowed, mixed with the wine

Y en la cantina este grito, a todos estremecio:

And in the bar, this shout, shook everyone:

No te apures compañero, si me destrozo la boca

Don't worry, friend, if I tore up my mouth

No te apures q yo quiero con el filo de esta copa

Don't worry because I want with the edge of this glass

Borrar la huella de un beso, traicionero q me dio

Erase the trace of a kiss, treacherous, that she gave me


Mozo, sirveme la copa rota

Waiter, serve me the broken glass

Sirveme q me destroza, esta fiebre de obsesion

Serve me, it shatters, this fever of obsession

Mozo, sirveme una copa rota

Waiter, serve me a broken glass

Quiero sangrar gota a gota, el veneno de su amor

I want to bleed drop by drop, the poison of her love
