At the Bar

En La Barra

At the bar of the old cantinaEn la barra de vieja cantina
There is a man drinking liquorHay un hombre tomando licor
I wonder if he has a sorrowMe pregunto si tiene una pena
Or a disappointment with his loveO una desilusión con su amor

I ask him, the glass risesLe pregunto, la copa se empina
And that sad man answersY contesta aquel triste señor

He is thinking of getting married, may he be happySe piensa casar, que sea feliz
Truly, may she be happyDe veras, que sea dichosa
She marries him, such a cruel fateSe casa con él, destino tan cruel
She is my love, she will be his wifeEs mi amor, será su esposa

And at the bar of the old cantinaY en la barra de vieja cantina
There is a man dying of loveHay un hombre muriendo de amor

In the white chapel towerEn la torre de blanca capilla
The bells will one day announceLas campanas un día anunciarán
The joy of a village weddingLa alegría de un boda de pueblo
The bells will one day tollLas campanas una día doblarán

When that poor devil is finishedCuando acabe aquel pobre diablo
With your pain, I know you will bendCon su pena, sé que doblarán

He is thinking of getting married, may he be happySe piensa casar, que sea feliz
Truly, may she be happyDe veras, que sea dichosa
She marries him, such a cruel fateSe casa con él, destino tan cruel
She is my love, she will be his wifeEs mi amor, será su esposa

And at the bar of the old cantinaY en la barra de vieja cantina
There is a man dying of loveHay un hombre muriendo de amor
