Traigo el cuerpo encrudecido

Soy de oficio guitarrero

Me la vivo en las cantinas

Yo cantando me mantengo

Cantando me desahogo
Singing I vent
Y por unos cuantos pesos
and for a few pesos
Yo les canto a los borrachos

También llevo serenatas
I also serenade
Y comparto con mis clientes
And I share with my clients
Las tristezas que ellos cargan

También me han dado carrera

Cuando nos echan de balas

Me quiere matar la cruda
