A Través Del Vaso Lyrics in English by Banda Los Sebastianes
Peda is a colloquial and somewhat informal term in Mexican Spanish that refers to a heavy drinking session or the state of being very drunk. It's a word you'll often hear in regional Mexican music.
In "A Través Del Vaso," the singer dramatically wishes, "Quisiera morirme de una buena peda" (I wish I could die from a good binge drinking session). This reveals the depth of his heartbreak and his desire to escape his pain through alcohol, making peda a key word for understanding the song's emotional core.
"A Través Del Vaso" ("Through the Glass") is a heartbreak song about drinking away the pain of a breakup. The singer looks at his ex through his drink and admits that no matter how many shots he has, the ache of missing her won't go away.
He asks the bartender how many drinks it takes to forget someone, then spends the rest of the song answering his own question: not enough. She left him for someone else, and now that she wants to come back, he's caught between his pride and how much he still loves her.
It's a classic banda drinking song: proud on the outside, wrecked on the inside, and still hooked on someone he swears he's done with.
