Me Bebi Tu Recuerdo

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y, en la otra mano, una copa de vino
Y brindé contigo sin estar presente
Y brindé contigo por tu amor ausente
metí la foto dentro de mi copa
Y, en ella, tu imagen se fue disolviendo
Y poquito a poco, y muy lentamente
Y me bebí tu recuerdo
Para que jamás vuelva a lastimarme
Y quiero que sepas que, aunque adolorido
Hoy, ni de tu nombre, yo quiero acordarme
En mi mano izquierda, tomé tu retrato
Y en la otra mano, una copa de vino
Y brindé contigo sin estar presente
Y brindé contigo por tu amor ausente
metí la foto dentro de mi copa
Y, en ella, tu imagen se fue disolviendo
Y poquito a poco, y muy lentamente
Todo tu recuerdo me lo fui bebiendo
Y me bebí tu recuerdo
Para que jamás vuelva a lastimarme
Y quiero que sepas que, aunque adolorido
Hoy, ni de tu nombre, yo quiero acordarme
Y me bebí tu recuerdo
Para que jamás vuelva a lastimarme
Y quiero que sepas que, aunque adolorido
Hoy, ni de tu nombre, yo quiero acordarme, sam-po
The lyrics of Galy Galiano's "Me Bebi Tu Recuerdo" talks about a person who tries to forget their love by drinking and letting go of the memories associated with their loved one. The first two lines symbolize how the person holds on to the photograph of their lover in one hand and indulgently drinks wine with the other hand. The next couple of lines express the sadness of not being able to be present with their loved one while still wishing to celebrate their love. The person seems to be vacant from their lover but feeling their presence through memories.
The following lines are particularly poignant as the person puts the photograph in the wine, dissolving the image slowly, mirroring how memories of their loved one are slowly fading away. The last couple of lines echo the sentiment of the person trying to let go of his pain and drink away their pain so that it will never bother them again. The singer acknowledges that even though the memories bring pain, he does not want to think of his lover's name again, implying how the person ultimately wants to move on.
Overall, the song represents a common theme in many love stories—trying to forget the past and the one who once gave so much meaning to life. However, it also speaks about how drinking and forgetting do not fix anything but rather, serve as a temporary distraction while one heals and moves on.
