Lo vi en aquella silla
I saw him in that chair.
Echandose una helada
Freezing
Me dijo vengase hijo
He told me to take revenge son
Lo quiero yo invitar
I want to invite you
Destape la botella
Uncap the bottle
Tome asiento a su lado
Take a seat next to you
Me dijo para oreja
He told me by ear
De algo le quiero hablar
I want to talk about something
Andaba medio pedo
He was half fart
Se miraba contento
He looked happy
Así empezó la charla
This is how the talk began
Te quiero aconsejar
I want to advise you
Aprenda de su tata
Learn from your tata
Y de sus mil aventuras
And of his thousand adventures
Pa' que evites la piedras
To avoid the stones
Con la que fue ha tropezar
With which he was has stumbled
Me dijo que la vida
He told me that life
Nunca ha de ser injusta
It must never be unfair
Que así como la vivas
That as well as you live it
Así te han de tratar
This is how they have to treat you
Que más vale callado
What better be quiet
Y nunca hablar de nadie
And never talk about anyone
Aunque es ancho el camino
Although the road is wide
Un día se han de topar
One day they have to run into each other
Me dijo sea un buen hombre
He told me to be a good man
Y no olvides los principios
And don't forget the principles
El rico esta más pobre
The rich are poorer
Tratalos por igual
Treat them equally
No agaches la cabeza
Don't bow your head
Ni ante el mas poderoso
Not even before the most powerful
Que a la hora de morirse
That at the time of dying
Siempre es el hoyo igual
It's always the same hole
Ya andamos entrados
We are already in
Hechase unas canciones
Make some songs
Jale yo mi guitarra
I pull my guitar
Y me puse a cantar
And I started singing
Vi sus ojos llorosos
I saw his watery eyes
Cuando escucho la pieza
When I listen to the piece
Me dijo ya llorando
He said to me already crying
Esa es la canción de mi ama
That's my mistress's song
Valora sobre todo
Values above all
El amor de una madre
A mother's love
Porque ese amor no vuelve
Because that love doesn't come back
Una vez que se va
Once you leave
Abrázala con fuerza
Hold it tightly
Que se merece todo
That he deserves everything
Vera que feo se sienta
See how ugly it feels
No poderla abrazar
Not being able to hug her
De mi viejo recuerdo
From my old memory
Todas las cosas buenas
All the good things
Fue el un hombre serio
He was a serious man
De vergüenza chambeador
Of shame chambeador
Lo extraño a cada paso
I miss him at every turn
Y diario lo recuerdo
And every day I remember it
Cuando llegaba a casa
When I got home
Empapado en sudor
Drenched in sweat
Todo lo que llore
All I Cry
Sentado en aquella cubeta
Sitting in that bucket
Y seguimos tomando
And we keep taking
Hasta que el viejo se durmió
Until the old man fell asleep
Como recuerdo al hombre
As a reminder of the man
Todo lo que me ha enseñado
Everything it has taught me
Y a todos les presumo
And I presume to all of them
Que mi viejo es un viejon
That my old man is an old man
