El vaso derrama
el potro Lyrics

"El vaso derrama" is a heartfelt song by Argentine singer Rodrigo Bueno, also known as "El Potro". The lyrics of the song depict the singer's frustration and anger towards an unappreciative lover. The first verse starts with the singer challenging the lover's desire to fight, followed by expressing his disappointment in the lover's lack of respect, despite the singer's admiration towards the lover. The lyrics convey that the lover is taking advantage of the singer's unconditional love, which may also be the reason why the singer hasn't left yet. The metaphor of the "confianza" (trust) killing the "gato" (cat) shows how trust can be a double-edged sword that can eventually destroy relationships.

The second verse continues with the metaphor of the lover's "espinas" (thorns), which have caused "heridas" (wounds) that bleed and are "amargando" (bittering) the singer's life. Here, the singer is expressing his suffering and how the lover's behavior is making him unhappy. The singer has tried to be tolerant of the lover's inconsiderate nature, but the lover continues to "destrozar" (destroy) the singer by telling him that he only "amarga" (makes bitter) her life. This leads the singer to become increasingly "enfadado" (angry) and "convencido" (convinced) that he is better off without the lover.

In the chorus, the singer portrays his frustration with one last lie that causes the "vaso" (glass) to overflow or "derramar" (spill). The metaphor of the glass overflowing represents how one small event can lead to the end of a relationship. The repetition of "una mentira mas" (one more lie) emphasizes the finality of the situation, and "todo se acaba" (everything ends) confirms the end of the relationship.
