La Ultima Copa
Los Tigres del Norte Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sin rencores ni resentimientos
Terminando esta copa te olvido
Y te borro de mi pensamiento
Nada ofresco porque nada pido
Con un solo trago se acaba lo nuestro
No pensemos en mira y mormura
Con la misma moneda te pago
Fue lo nuestro una siemple aventura
Que termina lo mismo que un trago
Y que un solo instante sus sabor nos dura
No diré lo que fuiste en mi vida
No hablaré de tu amor para nada
Si preguntan diré una mentira
No diré que fuiste la mujer soñada
Esta copa será tu recuerdo
Y esta copa de un trago se acaba
No me guardes rencor ni yo lo hago
No pensemos en mira y mormura
Con la misma moneda te pago
Fue lo nuestro una siemple aventura
Que termina lo mismo que un trago
Y que un solo instante sus sabor nos dura
No diré lo que fuiste en mi vida
No hablaré de tu amor para nada
Si preguntan diré una mentira
No diré que fuiste la mujer soñada
Esta copa será tu recuerdo
Y esta copa de un trago se acaba
The lyrics to Los Tigres del Norte's song "La Ultima Copa" tell the story of a person who is trying to move on from a past relationship. They have poured a glass of wine and are using it as a symbol of forgetting their former love and erasing them from their thoughts. The singer insists that they have nothing to offer and nothing to ask for in return. They also ask that their former partner not hold any grudges against them, and they will do the same. The singer uses the phrase "con la misma moneda te pago" which means "I'll pay you back in the same coin" as a way of saying that their former partner should treat them how they are being treated, with no resentment or bitterness.
The singer also describes the relationship as a simple adventure that ended just like a drink or a fleeting moment. They don't want to speak of the past relationship, and if asked, they would even lie about it. The singer uses the glass of wine as a symbol of the memory of their former love, and as they swallow it, they are saying goodbye.
