though my Spanish is very limited, I believe it means "If Sid Vicious had known kalimotxo* he wouldn't have died of overdose, if Sid Vicious had known kalimotxo he would've died of cirrhosis".

kalimotxo is pronounced "ka-lee-mu-tcho" (at least here in France, in some basque bars I went to and had the privilege to discover this mixture).
