Among their greatest hits -after their Three Souls era- "Triste Cancion" (based on Neil Young's "Like a Hurricane"), "Metro Balderas" (originally by Rodrigo Gonzalez), and "Piedras Rodantes" are probably the most known and have the quality of Anthems. Favorite bluesy songs such as "Oye Cantinero" and "ADO" belong to their Three Souls era, but are included in compilations and newer versions (from live concert recordings) abound.
No vuelvo a agarrar la jarra
El Tri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
traigo una cruda de lo peor
ya no me vuelvo a ir de juerga
perdi mi feria y perdi a mi amor
Ella se fue super peinada
se fue sin decir adios
ella se fue super peinada
y ni siquiera se despidio
se fue sin decir adios
Ya no vuelvo a agarrar la jarra
la neta es que no se chupar
mejor ya no chupes conmigo
si no despues no te la vas a acabar
The Mexican rock band El Tri's song No vuelvo a agarrar la jarra is about the consequences of drinking excessively, the loss of a loved one, and the regret that follows. The opening lines clearly state that the singer is no longer going to party because he has a severe hangover. He confesses that he has lost his money along with his love due to his drinking habits. The singer's regret becomes more evident as he describes how his love interest left him without saying goodbye, emphasizing the sense of abandonment that follows his actions.
The chorus of the song states that the singer is no longer going to pick up the bottle, as he has learned his lesson. He emphasizes that he doesn't know how to drink, and no longer wants to. He warns the listener not to drink with him if they can't handle the aftermath of indulging, which can be inferred from the line "si no después no te la vas a acabar."
Overall, the song is a cautionary tale about the consequences of drinking too much and losing someone you love. The melancholic tone of the music and the lyrics speaks of regret, loss, and heartache, which are common themes in many rock and roll ballads.
