La Copa Rota
Carlos Cuevas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Aturdido y abrumado, por la duda de los celos
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 fue

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
Al contrario la recuerda mucho mas tu corazón

Una noche como un loco mordió la copa de vino
Y de su cortante filo que su boca destrozó
Y la sangre que brotaba, confundiese 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 dio

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

Una noche como un loco mordió la copa de vino
Y de su cortante filo que su boca destrozó
Y la sangre que brotaba, confundiese 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 dio

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

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Carlos Cuevas's song "La Copa Rota" tell the story of a heartbroken and jealous bohemian who drowns his sorrows in a cantina. The singer is overwhelmed by the doubts and insecurity caused by jealousy, leading him to appear sad and without hope. His nerves are shattered, and he finds himself crying uncontrollably, tormented by the ungrateful woman who left him.


Throughout his despair, he is always accompanied by his best friend, who advises him to stop seeking solace in alcohol. The friend recognizes that neither tears nor wine can heal his pain, but rather exacerbate his memories of lost love. Despite this advice, the singer continues to remember his former lover intensely, his heart not allowing him to forget her.


In a moment of madness, he bites the wine glass, cutting his mouth with its sharp edge. The blood mixes with the wine, symbolizing the blending of pain and intoxication. The scream that erupts from him in the cantina shocks everyone present, exemplifying the extent of his agony.


Addressing his friend, the singer reassures him not to worry about his injured mouth, as he deliberately seeks to erase the memory of a deceitful kiss with the broken glass's edge. This act demonstrates the singer's desperate attempt to numb the pain inflicted by his past lover.


The chorus expresses the bohemian's desperate plea to the waiter, asking him to serve the broken glass again to intensify the fever of his obsession. He desires to bleed slowly, drop by drop, the poison of his former lover's love. This final cry illustrates the depth of his obsession and willingness to suffer for the sake of the love that has brought him to his knees.


Overall, "La Copa Rota" portrays a tale of heartbreak, jealousy, and obsession. The singer's actions and words convey the depths of his emotional turmoil and his desperate longing for a love that has betrayed him.
