Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lluvia En El Mar by Bertín Osborne from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Llegó borracho el borracho
The drunkard arrived drunk
Pidiendo cinco tequilas
Ordering five tequilas
Y le dijo el cantinero
And the bartender told him
Se acabaron las bebidas
drinks are out
Si quieres echarte un trago
If you want to have a drink
Vámonos a otra cantina
Let's go to another canteen
(Llegó borracho el borracho)
(The drunkard arrived drunk)
Se fue borracho el borracho
The drunkard went away drunk
Del brazo del cantinero
On the bartender's arm
Y le dijo que te tomas
And he told her that you drink
A ver quién se cae primero
Let's see who falls first
Aquel que doble las corvas
The one who bends the knees
Le va a costar su dinero
He's gonna cost you your money
Y borracho y cantinero
And drunk and bartender
Seguían pidiendo y pidiendo
They kept asking and asking
Mariachis y cancioneros
Mariachi bands and songbooks
Los estaban divirtiendo
they were having fun
Pero se sentía el ambiente
But you felt the atmosphere
Muy cerquita del infierno
very close to hell
Grito de pronto el borracho
The drunk suddenly shouted
La vida no vale nada
Life is worthless
Y le dijo el cantinero
And the bartender told him
Mi vida está asegurada
my life is secured
Si vienes echando habladas
If you come casting talks
Yo te contesto con balas
I answer you with bullets
(Llegó borracho el borracho)
(The drunkard arrived drunk)
Los dos sacaron pistola
The two pulled out a gun
Se cruzaron los balazos
The bullets crossed
La gente corrió hecha bola
The people ran like a ball
Seguían sonando plomazos
They kept sounding plumbs
De pronto los dos cayeron
Suddenly they both fell
Haciendo cruz con sus brazos
making a cross with his arms
Y borracho y cantinero
And drunk and bartender
Los dos se estaban muriendo
they were both dying
Mariachis y cancioneros
Mariachi bands and songbooks
También salieron corriendo
They also ran away
Y así acabaron dos vidas
And so ended two lives
Por un mal entendimiento
for a misunderstanding
