Y en las mesas de la taberna
El borracho de mi tristeza
Que como flores en la maleza
Poquito a poco muriendo va
Y el curdela me llaman todos
Y no saben que los licores
Me hacen ver un rostro de mujer
Radiante de pasiones de deber de perdón
Un Pernot sírvame pronto amigo
Porque quiero a sus ojos mirar
Y en el fondo de la copa llena
Donde busco mi pena solo por no llorar
Verlos ser más que su mirada
Estoy viendo trágico mirar
Esperando los besos de mi boca
Para su alma loca volver a despertar
Traiga otro Pernot que quiero embriagarme
Y riendo llevo al reír
Loco de dolor y harto de sufrir
Traiga otro Pernot que mi carcajada
Ronca de tanto llorar
Mi pena de amor ya no han de matar
Y el curdela me llaman todos
Y no saben que los licores
Me hacen ver un rostro de mujer
Radiante de pasiones en el verde Pernot
