La Ultima Copa
Tito Puente/Eddie Palmeri Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
hasta el borde la copa de champan
que esta noche de farra y de alegria
el dolor que hay en mi alma quiero ahogar.
Es la ultima farra de mi vida
de mi vida muchachos que se va...
Mejor dicho se ha ido tras de aquella
que no supo mi amor nunca apreciar.
Yo la quise, muchachos y la quiero
y jamás yo la podre olvidar...
Yo me emborracho por ella
y ella quien sabe que hara`...
Eche mozo más champan,
que todo mi dolor
bebiendo lo he de ahogar
Y si la ven
amigos, diganle
que ha sido por su amor
que mi vida ya se fue`.
Y brindemos, no mas,
la ultima copa
que, tal vez, también ella ahora estara`
ofreciendo en algun brindis su boca
y otra boca febril la besara`.
Eche amigo, no mas, echeme y llene
hasta el borde la copa de champan
que mi vida de ha ido tras de aquella
que no supo mi amor nunca apreciar.
Yo la quise, muchachos y la quiero...
(etc.)
The song "La Última Copa" is a heartbreaking story of a man drinking to forget the pain of a lost love. In the beginning, the singer asks his friend to fill his glass with champagne so that he can drown the pain in his soul. He says that it's the last party of his life, and he wants to forget the woman who never appreciated his love. He admits that he still loves her, and he will never forget her.
As the song progresses, the singer drinks more and more, saying that he drinks for her, but he doesn't know what she's doing. He asks the waiter to bring more champagne, saying that he will drown all his pain by drinking. The chorus then comes in, and they all drink to the last glass, knowing that she too is probably drinking somewhere.
