El último trago
Carlos Cuevas Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y en el último trago, nos vamos
Quiero ver a que sabe tu olvido,
Sin poner en mis ojos, tus manos
Esta noche, no voy a rogarte,
Esta noche, te vas, de de veras
Que difícil que tener que dejarte,
Sin que sienta, que ya no me quieras
Siempre caigo en los mismos errores
Otra vez, a brindar con extraños,
Y a llorar, por los mismos dolores
Tomate esta botella, conmigo,
Y en el último trago me besas,
Esperamos, que no haya testigos,
Por si acaso, te diera vergüenza,
Si algún día sin querer, tropezamos,
No te agaches, ni me hables de frente,
Simplemente, la mano nos damos,
Y después, que murmure la gente,
Nada me han enseñado los años,
Siempre caigo en los mismos errores,
Otra vez, a brindar con extraños,
Y a llorar, por los mismos dolores
Tomate esta botella conmigo,
Y en el último trago nos vamos
The song "El Último Trago" by Carlos Cuevas is a ballad about a man who is drinking with his lover, asking her to share a bottle with him, and in the last drink, they both will leave together. He wants to know how her forgetfulness tastes like, without memories of him touching her hands. He is not going to beg her, but she has to go for real, making it difficult for him to let her go, without feeling that she no longer loves him. He tells her that he has not learned anything from his years of experience and always makes the same mistakes. He ends up crying with strangers and experiencing the same pains.
In the second verse, he asks her to take one more drink with him and kiss him on the last sip. He hopes that there will be no witnesses, in case she feels ashamed. He tells her that if they accidentally bump into each other one day, she does not have to look down, nor talk to him directly; they will simply shake hands, and let the people gossip. He repeats that he has learned nothing from his past mistakes and ends up drinking with strangers and crying over the same pains.
Overall, the song is a melancholic piece that expresses the pain of separation and the struggles of letting go. The lyrics and melody reflect the sadness and sorrow that come with lost love and the inability to move on.
