Women who cheat on me are forgiven by my heart. Listen, I'll explain to you, what the heart suffers, I erase it with beer. When a woman leaves, it means that two are coming. Listen, I'll explain to you, if there's no need, why should I suffer. If I move away from a rosebush, no one should miss me. Listen, I'll explain to you, when I approached her, a thorn stuck in me. Bartender, my beer!
Las mujeres que me engañan
las perdona el corazón.
Miren les voy a explicar,
lo que sufre el corazón,
lo borro con la cerveza.
Cuando una mujer se va,
es que dos van a venir.
Miren les voy a explicar,
si no hay necesidad
para que voy a sufrir.
Si me alejo de un rosal
a nadie debe extrañar.
Miren les voy a explicar,
cuando a ella me acerqué,
una espina me clavó.
¡Cantinero, mi cerveza!
