Amor Borrachito Lyrics in English Carin León , Grupo Firme

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Amor Borrachito by Carin León from Spanish to English.
That we drunks speak only truths
People say so and who knows if that is true
What I swear is every time I'm drinking
I feel an urge to look for you and I only think about seeing you
When I'm sober I barely remember you
I don't know where you live, much less that I love you
I see you on the street and I pretend not to notice
And later, drunk, I search for you desperately
I chug a can and I kind of spot you
I finish a six-pack, I start to miss you a little
With twelve down, I love you and I need you
With eighteen in me I'm heading straight to your house
I'm drunk, the band is on the way
Already wasted, serenades amid shouts
Barely tipsy, I dare to confess to you
That for you I feel a drunkard's love
I chug a can and I kind of spot you
I finish a six-pack and I start to miss you a little
With twelve down, I love you and I need you
With eighteen in me I'm heading straight to your house
I'm drunk, the band is on the way
Already wasted, serenades amid shouts
Barely tipsy I dare to confess to you
That for you I feel a drunkard's love
I chug a can and I kind of spot you
I finish a six-pack I start to miss you a little
With twelve down, I love you and I need you
With eighteen in me I'm heading straight to your house
I'm drunk, the band is on the way
Being wasted, serenades amid shouts
Barely tipsy I dare to confess to you
That for you I feel a drunkard's love

SONG MEANING

Get ready for a tequila-soaked serenade! Amor Borrachito pairs Carin León’s raspy charm with Grupo Firme’s party energy to tell the story of a man whose courage – and memory – only switch on after a few beers. Sober, he barely recalls the woman he likes; a couple of bottles later, he is Googling her address, hiring a banda, and declaring eternal love from the street. The song turns a common Mexican saying – “drunks always speak the truth” – into a playful question: Is it real love or just liquid honesty?

Behind the humor and rowdy brass, the lyrics explore that blurry line between genuine feeling and boozy impulse. Each six-pack marks a new emotional level: from “I kind of recognize you” to “I need you right now.” By the time he hits eighteen beers, he is marching straight to her doorstep with a full mariachi entourage. It is a catchy reminder that while alcohol might boost confidence, it can also reveal desires we are too shy to admit when the lights – and our heads – are clear.
