El fuego (The Fire)

Él bebió hasta que

su corazón se le fue.

Caminó en tres bares,

y empezó a pelear con los hombres.

Yo lo observé sangrar y beber.

Con cada trago de tequila

Sus ojos cambiaron

de azul cielo al color

del fuego en su alma. 

(Translation) 

He drank until

his heart was gone. 

He walked in three bars

and began to fight with the men.

I observed him bleed and drink.

With each shot of tequila

his eyes changed 

from blue sky color

to the fire in his soul.
