El Muchacho Alegre

I am the happy boy
Who wakes up drinking
With my bottle of wine
And my playing cards.

If you want to know who I am
Ask Cupid
I am the happy boy
Favored by heaven.

You are like a watermelon
You have the green on the outside
If you want someone else to enjoy you
Ask God for my death.

I have no father or mother
No one to care for me
Only the bed I sleep in
Pities me.

With a new deck of cards
I would like to see them play
To see if they lose to me
Even the way they walk.

Now with this I say goodbye
By the edge of a green field
Here ends singing
Verses of the happy boy.
