Y Si Tomo Que
Paquita La Del Barrio
Lyrics
Translation
Que porque tomo la copa, que porque me gusta el vino,
Because I drink the cup, because I like wine,
me preguntan los amigos, y aunque saben mi problema,
my friends ask me, and although they know my problem,
ellos no entienden la pena, que me cargo aqui conmigo.
they don't understand the sorrow that I carry here with me.
La vida, la ingrata vida, me a dado solo tristezas, yo naci
Life, the ungrateful life, has only given me sorrows; I was born
para sufrir. Y es por eso que hoy me miran, con una copa en
to suffer. And that's why today they look at me, with a cup in
mis manos, y haci me voy a morir....
my hands, and so I'm going to die...
Y si tomo que, aquien le importa mi vida, solo yo se de mi pena,
And if I drink, who cares about my life, only I know about my sorrow,
el motivo y el porque. Y si tomo que, total que tarde o temprano,
the reason and the why. And if I drink, what's the difference, sooner or later,
me voy a ir de este mundo, para nunca mas volver.
I'm going to leave this world, to never return.
La vida, la ingrata vida, me a dado solo tristezas, yo naci

my hands, and so I'm going to die...
Y si tomo que, aquien le importa mi vida, solo yo se de mi pena,
