La Última Copa
Alci Acosta Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Se ve triste en la cantina a un bohemio ya sin fe
Con los nervios destrozados y llorando sin remedio
Como un loco atormentado, por la ingrata que se fué
Se ve siempre acompañado del mejor de los amigos
Que le acompaña y le dice ya esta bueno de licor
Nada remedias con llanto, nada remedias con vino
Una noche como un loco, mordió la copa de vino
Y brilló un cortante filo, que su boca destrozó
Y la sangre que brotaba confundiose con el vino
Y en la cantina este grito a todos estremeció
No te apures compañero si me destrozo la boca
No te apures que es que quiero con el filo de esta copa
Borrar la huella de un beso traicionero que me dió
Mozo, sírvame la copa rota
Sírvame que me destroza esta fiebre de obsesión
Mozo, sírvame la copa rota
Quiero sangrar gota a gota el veneno de su amor
The song "La Copa Rota" by Alci Acosta is a heartbreaking story about a man who is suffering from the doubt of jealousy. He is seen sitting alone in a cantina, drinking heavily and crying uncontrollably over the memory of his unfaithful lover. He is tormented by the fact that she has left him and cannot seem to move on.
He is always accompanied by his best friend, who tries to console him and make him understand that crying and drinking won't solve anything. However, no matter what advice his friend gives him, he still cannot forget his lover. One night, he bites into a wine glass out of frustration and cuts his mouth badly. The blood mixes with the wine and he screams out in pain and anger that he wants to erase the memory of his lover's betrayal forever.
The lyrics of the song paint a vivid picture of a man who is consumed by jealousy and heartbreak. The imagery of him biting into a wine glass and screaming out in pain is particularly powerful. The song portrays the destructive nature of jealousy and the devastating effects it can have on a person.
