Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Hasta al borde la copa de champán
Que esta noche de farra de y alegría
El dolor que hay en mi alma quiero ahogar
Es la última farra de mi vida
De mi vida, muchachos, que se va
Mejor dicho, se ha ido tras de aquella
Que no supo mi amor nunca apreciar
Y jamás yo la podré olvidar
Yo me emborracho por ella
Y ella quién sabe qué hará
Eche, mozo, más champán
Que todo mi dolor
Bebiendo lo he de ahogar
Y si la ven
Amigos díganle
Que ha sido por su amor
Que mi vida ya se fue
Y brindemos, no más, la última copa
Que, tal vez, también ella ahora estará
Ofreciendo en algún brindis su boca
Y otra boca feliz la besará
Eche, amigo, no más, écheme y llene
Hasta el borde la copa de champán
Que mi vida se ha ido tras de aquella
Que no supo mi amor nunca apreciar
Yo la quise, muchachos, y la quiero
Y jamás yo la podré olvidar
Yo me emborracho por ella
Y ella quién sabe qué hará
Eche, mozo, más champán
Que todo mi dolor
Bebiendo lo he de ahogar
Y si la ven
Amigos díganle
Que ha sido por su amor
Que mi vida ya se fue
