Vino en mi jeringa [English translation]

Damm it, what a day I had

I need urgently to drink alcohol,

my family always so experienced

they drank even the water of the dripping pan.

Grandpa already finished the Novopren 1

sticking the tooth that fell off

and the strongest drug I found

was a can with a bit of Vascolet 2

I want a friend to put wine in my syringe

not even the devil can save me from this

I'm not a long suffering man

so this is it for me.

It all started a morning when I got up

I stepped on a glass and cut myself

I went to buy band-aids to ease the pain

and they stole my credit card.

I never had the anti-tetanus injection

and my foot got infected

I turned the TV on to see if we win something

and the Bolivians scored us three goals

I want a friend to put wine in my syringe

not even the devil can save me from this

I'm not a long suffering man

so this is it for me.

The doctor came and poked my wound

and a pus jet came to his eye

and he told me laughing if I was notified

that the Colorados 3won the elections again.

"Go to work!" he said you're healthy now

and the sworms eat my foot

today they gave me the change wrongly in the supermarket

and now I have prostate cancer.

I want a friend to put wine in my syringe

not even the devil can save me from this

I'm not a long suffering man

so this is it for me.

I don't care if it's mature

in a bottle or in a helmet. 4

I don't care, is indifferent for me

if it's red or white.

I don't care if it's used

it's new or it's sour

I don't care if it gives hangover

a Concha y Toro, or a Pija y Vaca. 5

I want a friend to put wine in my syringe

not even the devil can save me from this

I'm not a long suffering man

so this is it for me.
