De cantina en cantina
Los Acosta Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Amigo cantinero
Me quiero emborrachar
Porque el dolor es grande
Y lo quiero ahogar

La quice y la quiero
No la podre olvidar
Aver si tomando
Me puedo alibrar

Yo hebrio de carino
Le di mi corazon
Porque ella es tan hermosa
Mas linda que una flor

Porque al abandonarme
He perdido la razon
Amigos del mariachi
Cantenme otra cancion

Amigo cantinero
No comprende mi dolor
De cantina en cantina
Les cuento de mi amor

Cuando paso por su casa
Me dan ganas de llorar
Por eso me emborracho
No lo puedo soportar

Yo hebrio de carino
Le di mi corazon
Porque ella es tan hermosa
Mas linda que una flor

Porque al abandonarme
He perdido la razon
Amigos del mariachi
Cantenme otra cancion

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Acosta's "De Cantina En Cantina" are about a man who is trying to drown his sorrows with alcohol because his heart is still broken over losing a woman he loves. He asks the bartender to keep pouring drinks for him so that he can forget about the pain he feels inside. Even though he loved her deeply, he knows he has to move on and he hopes that by drinking he can finally get over her.

The man is also asking his mariachi friends to sing another song for him to help him forget his heartache. He can't help but think of the woman he loved every time he passes by her house, and he breaks down in tears. He gave her his heart when he was intoxicated with love because she is more beautiful than a flower, but now that he has lost her, he has also lost his reason for living.

The song illustrates the pain of lost love and how difficult it is to move on, especially when the love was deep and true. It's a common theme in many songs, but the lyrics and the melody combine to make this a particularly poignant and moving one.
