Botella Envenenada
Los Temerarios Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quisiera Yo saber quién hace el vino
Pa' ser lo que se tome todo el que haga
Por qué por eso vivo como vivo
Haber si ya sin vino
La olvido y me la paga

Recuerdo aquella fecha inolvidable
Cuando ella me dejo esperando tanto

Me dijo: Ahorita vengo, no me tardo
Y todavía la espero
Bañado con mi llanto

Por eso desde entonces me he perdido
Soy un desconocido
Soy un montón de penas
Las noches las paso allí encerrado
Mirando aquel retrato
Rodeado de Botellas

(Regresa Chiquita)
(Regresa)
(Tráiganme una envenenada)

Jamas, jamas, jamas podré olvidarla
La llevo aquí en mi pecho bien clavada
Por eso le suplicó al que hace el vino
Que mande una botella
De vino envenenado

Por eso desde entonces me he perdido
Soy un desconocido
Soy un montón de penas
Las noches las paso allí encerrado
Mirando aquel retrato

Rodeado de Botellas
Quisiera yo saber quien hace el vino

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Los Temerarios's song "Botella Envenenada" describe the singer's pain and anguish after being left by his lover. He longs for a way to forget about her and wishes he knew who makes the wine so he could drink it all and forget about her. He reminisces about the unforgettable day she left him waiting with a promise to return soon. However, she never came back and he still waits for her. The pain is so severe that he has become a stranger to himself and is consumed with sorrow. He spends his nights drinking and looking at a picture of her surrounded by bottles. The singer is so desperate for relief that he asks for a bottle of poisoned wine to end his suffering.

The lyrics convey a sense of sadness that is universal to anyone who has experienced heartbreak. The singer's longing for his ex-lover and his desire to forget her are understandable emotions. He is consumed by his sorrow and it has taken over his life. The repeated use of "soy un desconocido" (I am a stranger) highlights his sense of disconnection and isolation from his former self. The final plea for poisoned wine is an extreme expression of his desperation and desire for relief.
