y viendo crecer la espuma
la mente se me hace bruma
y los recuerdos no me hacen caso
van llegando paso a paso,
a tenerme más unido
y cual borracho perdido
a.- así como en la cerveza,
la espuma desaparece
en sólo cuestión de meses
ella cambió mi risa en tristeza
por eso es que con cerveza
hoy brindo por tu abandono
pues fue por una cerveza que la adoré
y la puse en un trono.
coro
una cerveza la trajo a mí
a que alegrara mi vida entera
si la cerveza pudiera oír
tal vez llorara al saber mi pena (bis)

The song "Fue Por Una Cervaza" by Pastor López tells the story of a man who reminisces about a lost love while drinking beer. As he fills up his glass and watches the foam rise, memories flood his mind and the pain of his failed relationship becomes more acute. He curses his past mistakes and blames his broken heart on the woman who left him. The chorus speaks to the power of beer in his life, as it brought him happiness and yet also reminds him of his sorrow.
The lyrics are deeply relatable to anyone who has ever drowned their sorrows in alcohol while grappling with a breakup. The metaphor of the foam disappearing like his happy memories is a poignant image that captures the fleeting nature of good times. The use of the word "cervaza", instead of "cerveza," is a nod to the Colombian dialect of Spanish, which the artist is known for.
