Below, I translated the lyrics of the song El Borrachito by Julion Alvarez Y Su Norteño Banda from Spanish to English.
These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Ahí va el borrachito
There goes the drunkard
Toma tequila, toma coñac
Drink tequila, drink cognac
Toma charanda, toma lo que hay
Take charanda, take what's there
Una cerveza se va a empedar
A beer is going to be empedar
Con una cubita se va a curar
With a bucket it will heal
Con un whiskyto va a rematar
With a whiskey you will finish off
El borrachito
The Drunkard
Ahí va el borrachito
There goes the drunkard
El borrachito
The Drunkard
Ahí va el borrachito
There goes the drunkard
El borrachito quiere tomar
The drunkard wants to drink
Cualquier pretexto pa festejar
Any pretext to celebrate
Y luego luego quiere bailar
And then he wants to dance.
Se le traban las patas
His legs lock
Se le lengua la traba
He gets a tongue that locks it.
No tiene hierba para pistear
No grass to tread on
El borrachito quiere tomar
The drunkard wants to drink
Cualquier pretexto pa festejar
Any pretext to celebrate
Empina todo y quiere más
Steep everything and want more
Borrachín, borrachito
Drunk, drunk
Amigo del pueblito
Friend of the village
Le dicen el chupito
They tell him the shot
Me agüita el ah
It makes me ah
Ahí va el borrachito
There goes the drunkard
Toma tequila, toma coñac
Drink tequila, drink cognac
Toma charanda, toma lo que hay
Take charanda, take what's there
Con cerveza se va a empedar
With beer it is going to be empedar
Con una cubita se va a curar
With a bucket it will heal
Con un whiskyto va a rematar
With a whiskey you will finish off
El borrachito
The Drunkard
Ahí va el borrachito
There goes the drunkard
El borrachito
The Drunkard
Ahí va el borrachito
There goes the drunkard
El borrachito quiere tomar
The drunkard wants to drink
Cualquier pretexto pa' festejar
Any pretext to celebrate
Y luego luego quiere bailar
And then he wants to dance.
Se le traban las patas
His legs lock
Se le lengua la traba
He gets a tongue that locks it.
No tiene hierba para pistear
No grass to tread on
El borrachito quiere tomar
The drunkard wants to drink
Cualquier pretexto pa' festejar
Any pretext to celebrate
Empina todo y quiere más
Steep everything and want more
Borrachín, borrachito
Drunk, drunk
Amigo del pueblito
