Alch Si Lyrics in English by Carin Leon, Grupo Frontera

Lagrimita is the diminutive form of lágrima (tear), which native Spanish speakers use not just to describe physical size, but also to subtly downplay a situation.

In this track, Carin Leon tries to hide his heartbreak by claiming he isn't actually crying, playfully insisting that only a single lagrimita slipped out. This memorable lyric perfectly captures how people use diminutives to save face when feeling overwhelmed by emotion.

This song is for anyone who's ever tried to play it cool after a breakup and failed completely. Carin Leon starts by insisting, "No estoy llorando / Su recuerdo se metió en mi ojo" (I'm not crying / Her memory got in my eye), after accidentally seeing a photo of his ex with a new guy. It's a classic excuse, but he gives up the act almost immediately.

The song's title, "Alch Si," is slang for "To be honest, yes," and that's exactly what he admits: "Bueno al chile sí tan sólo un poco" (Okay, to be honest, yes, just a little). He's not just sad; he's making a hobby out of it, saying "Llorar por extrañarla se ha vuelto mi deporte" (Crying because I miss her has become my sport). He even checks her Instagram, torturing himself by watching her stories with someone else. It's a funny and painfully relatable look at a guy with a very broken heart who can't help but be honest about it.
