Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Convertirme en un pobre borracho
Ahora voy de cantina en cantina
Y en mi copa me bebo mi llanto
El dolor que atormenta mi alma
Con tequila yo voy a curarlo.
He tratado de muchas maneras
He buscado el sabor de otros labios
Pa' calmar esta sed que me quema
Pero siempre termino extrañando
Tus caricias tu cuerpo y tu entrega.
Y a pesar que me duele tu engaño
Y tu ausencia pudiera matarme
Con los brazos abiertos te espero
De mi alma tu tienes la llave
Nadie mas sabe como quererme
Solo tu llenas toda mi vida
No me dejes que siga rogando
Por tu amor de cantina en cantina.
He tratado de muchas maneras
De llenar el vacio de tu ausencia
He buscado el sabor de otros labios
Pa' calmar esta sed que me quema
Pero siempre termino extrañando
Tus caricias tu cuerpo y tu entrega.
Y a pesar que me duele tu engaño
Y tu ausencia pudiera matarme
Con los brazos abiertos te espero
De mi alma tu tienes la llave
Nadie mas sabe como quererme
Solo tu llenas toda mi vida
No me dejes que siga rogando
Por tu amor de cantina en cantina.
In the song "De Cantina En Cantina" by La Fe Norteña, the singer is expressing his pain and sorrow after being betrayed by his lover. He is now a poor drunkard who spends his time going from bar to bar to drown his sorrows in alcohol. He admits that he has tried to fill the void left by his lover's absence in many ways, including seeking solace in other people's arms and lips, but he always ends up missing his former lover's touch, body, and dedication. He hopes that his pain will be numbed by drinking tequila, which he believes will heal his tormented soul.
Despite the heartache he feels due to his lover's deception, the singer still holds onto hope for reconciliation. He states that he is waiting for his former lover to return to him with open arms, for only she has the key to his heart and no one else knows how to love him like she does. He pleads with her not to leave him to continue begging for her love in one bar after another.
