about

An original, darker take on this traditional Sephardic drinking song...

lyrics

LADINO:

La vida do por el raki, no puedo yo dexarlo;
De bever nunca me arti de tanto amarlo.

Cuando esta en el baril,
El no havla del todo;
Cuando me hago yo candil,
Me ago baños de lodo.

El ya mos aze divorsar
Casamientos de oro;
La vida yo quero pasar
Con risas y con lloros.

Me siento yo hijo varon,
Me siento yo primario;
Sin tener liras el cashon,
Me siento millionario.


ENGLISH:
I give my life for alcohol, I cannot leave it;
I never tire of drinking for I love it so much.

When it's in the barrel,
It doesn't speak back at all;
When I get all fired up,
I take a bath in mud.

It makes us divorce
Our golden weddings;
I want to go through life,
With laughter and with tears.

I feel like a real young man,
I feel like a winner;
Even without money in the drawer,
I feel like a millionaire.
