These English lyric translations are not yet verified.
Con un polvo y otro polvo
With dust and dust
Se formó una polvadera
A cloud of dust formed
Una copa y otra copa
A glass and another glass
Hacen una borrachera
They make a drunk
Con rositas y claveles
With roses and carnations
Se formó un ramo de flores
A bouquet of flowers was formed
Y yo con esa güerita
And me with that güerita
El mejor nido de amores
The best love nest
Ay ay ay ay ay, qué borracho vengo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, how drunk I come
Y ábreme la puerta que me ando cayendo
And open the door for me because I'm falling
De ventanas y paredes
Of windows and walls
Me he venido deteniendo
I have been stopping
Ya no siembro yerbabuena
I no longer plant mint
Porque me salió cilantro
Because I got cilantro
Esta noche duermo en medio
Tonight I sleep in the middle
Porque en la orilla me espanto
Because on the shore I get scared
Yo no sé porque la güera
I don't know why the guera
Siempre me huele a poleo
It always smells like pennyroyal to me
Si esta noche, no la viera
If tonight I didn't see her
Toda me la parrandeo
I party it all
Ay ay ay ay ay, qué borracho vengo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, how drunk I come
Ábreme la puerta que me ando cayendo
Open the door for me, I'm falling
De ventanas y paredes
Of windows and walls
Me he venido deteniendo
I have been stopping
Una gallina variada
A varied hen
Empolló un guajolotito
A little turkey hatched
Eso sucede a menudo
That happens often
Con cualquier animalito
With any animal
Ay ay ay ay ay, qué borracho vengo
Oh, oh, oh, oh, how drunk I come
Ábreme la puerta que me ando cayendo
Open the door for me, I'm falling
De ventanas y paredes
Of windows and walls
Me he venido deteniendo
I have been stopping
