Drownin’ Blues

I been tryin' to drown my sorrows in the whisky and the wine
I been tryin' to drown my sorrows in the whisky and the wine
It ain’t right, but since you left, you know it takes up all my time

Well, you can't drown in the whisky, you just get wet
Well, you can't drown in the whisky, you just get wet
'Cause the deeper you be drinkin’, the higher you get

I was drownin’ in my tears, when you left me for my best friend
I was drownin’ in my tears, when you left me for my best friend
But now I’ve got me a new lifeguard, and she's teachin' me to swim

Well, you can't drown in the whisky, you just get wet
Well, you can't drown in the whisky, you just get wet
'Cause the deeper you be drinkin’, the higher you get

Solo.

Well, you can't drown in the whisky, you just get wet
Well, you can't drown in the whisky, you just get wet
'Cause the deeper you be drinkin’, the higher you get


Blues del ahogo

He estado tratando de ahogar mis penas en el whisky y el vino
He estado tratando de ahogar mis penas en el whisky y el vino
No está bien, pero desde que te fuiste, sabes que ocupa todo mi tiempo

Bueno, no te puedes ahogar en el whisky, solo te mojas
Bueno, no te puedes ahogar en el whisky, solo te mojas
Porque cuanto más profundo estás bebiendo, más alto llegas*

Me estaba ahogando en mis lágrimas, cuando me dejaste por mi mejor amigo
Me estaba ahogando en mis lágrimas, cuando me dejaste por mi mejor amigo
Pero ahora tengo un nuevo salvavidas y ella me está enseñando a nadar

Bueno, no te puedes ahogar en el whisky, solo te mojas
Bueno, no te puedes ahogar en el whisky, solo te mojas
Porque cuanto más profundo estás bebiendo, más alto llegas

Solo.

Bueno, no te puedes ahogar en el whisky, solo te mojas
Bueno, no te puedes ahogar en el whisky, solo te mojas
Porque cuanto más profundo estás bebiendo, más alto llegas


*En este sentido, “llegar alto” quiere decir “drogarse”.
