Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ustedes se reirán de este pobre borracho
Pero solamente así se disipan las penas verdad de dios
No te fijes como vengo
Lo bueno es que ya llegue
Aunque venga mal herido por los tragos que me eche
Cuando uno empezó a cantar
Y cantaba tan bonito que como no había de entrar
Siempre que me emborracho palabra que algo me pasa
Voy derechito a verte y me equivoco de casa
Siempre que me emborracho yo nada mas pienso en ella
Y no me tranquilizo asta acabar la botella
Y no es mentira
Ustedes se reirán, pero el borracho sufre y goza con el vino y las botellas
Las canciones de borrachos
Quizás los hagan reír
Pero afondo son la quejas del hombre y de su sufrir
Pero mueran las tristezas
Mejor vamos a tomar
Y veras ya cuando llegue eso es si acabo de llegar
Ay dios no se queden muchachos
Siempre que me emborracho palabra que algo me pasa
Voy derechito a verte y me equivoco de casa
Siempre que me emborracho yo nada mas pienso en ella
Y no me tranquilizo asta acabar la botella
The song "Siempre Siempre" by Jorge Negrete, Pedro Infante, and Francisco "Charro" Avita is a classic Spanish-language song that tells the story of a man who is dealing with his sorrows by drinking. The song starts with the singer telling the audience not to judge him for his drunken state, as the only way to alleviate his sorrows is to drink. He admits to sometimes going to the wrong house when he is drunk, as the only thing he can think about is the person he loves. The second verse of the song talks about how the songs of drunken men may make people laugh, but they are really just expressions of their internal sorrows and struggles.
Throughout the song, the singer uses drinking as a coping mechanism for his problems. He admits that he finds solace in the bottle, but at the same time, his love for the woman he thinks of when he is drunk keeps him from becoming too reckless. The lyrics capture the sometimes-destructive nature of alcoholism, but also the power of love to keep a person grounded.
Overall, "Siempre Siempre" is a powerful song that speaks to the hardships of life and the role that alcohol and love can play in helping people cope. It remains a beloved classic today and is a testament to the enduring power of traditional Latin music.
