Entre Copa y Copa
Grupo Alfa 7 Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Entre copa y copa
Se acaba mi vida
Llorando boracho tu perdido amor
Que negros recuerdos
Me traen tus mentiras
Como cuesta lágrimas
Una traición
Nomás por quererte Dejé yo mi casa
Dejé padre y madre
Por seguirte a ti
Nomás por tu culpa
Me hundí en la desgracia
Ni el cielo ni nadie
Se apiada de mi
Traigo penas en el alma
Que no las mata el licor
En cambio ella si me mata
Entre mas boracho estoy
Quiera Dios que asì te paguen
Con una traición igual
Para cuando te emboraches
Tu sepas por quién llorar
Aye (Grito)
(Que dios que te pague
Como me pagaste a mi
Amorcito)
Aye (Grito)
Traigo penas en el alma
Que no las mata el licor
En cambio ella si me mata
Entre mas boracho estoy
Quiera Dios que asì te paguen
Con una traición igual

Para cuando te emboraches
Tu sepas por quién llorar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Grupo Alfa 7's song "Entre Copa y Copa" tells a heartbreaking story of a man who has lost everything because of love. He sings about how his life has fallen apart due to his lover's deceitful actions, and how he is left with nothing but the pain of her betrayal. He recounts leaving everything he had behind, including his parents, just to be with her, but now he is left alone, drowning his sorrow in alcohol. The lyrics convey a sense of deep sadness and despair as the man realizes the enormity of his mistake in trusting his lover, but he can't help but continue drinking in order to numb the pain.

The chorus, "Traigo penas en el alma que no las mata el licor, en cambio ella si me mata entre mas boracho estoy," is particularly poignant. It translates to "I carry sorrows in my soul that liquor cannot kill, but she does kill me even more when I am drunk." This emphasizes the idea that no matter how much he drinks, he can't escape the pain of his lost love, and that he ultimately wishes the same fate upon her.
