I look forward to toasting her

I'm going to drink it that way

Until you see the bottom of the bottle

Of course the penalty is deep

She's terrified of seeing me drunk

I tell him not to hide from me

As long as I love her macho

They are not going to take me out of the inn

I don't want to accept his forgetfulness

Because I was only born to love her

And I don't know how much I'm going to love her

Nor how long this drink lasts

Here I am that I am dying to see it

And she is anxious to kiss her

But he says if I get drunk

It's better not to look for it again

Then bartender

Serve me the other

That grief is deep, that grief is deep

For her I die

I'd rather she come

I don't go to her and if I go I stay

And if I go I stay

That if I go I stay

I don't want to accept his forgetfulness

Because I was only born to love her

And I don't know how much I'm going to love her

Nor how long this drink lasts

Here I am that I am dying to see it

And she is anxious to kiss her

But he says if I get drunk

It's better not to look for it again

Then bartender

Serve me the other

That grief is deep, that grief is deep

For her I die

I'd rather she come

I don't go to her and if I go I stay

And if I go I stay

That if I go I stay

traga — crush / infatuation

Traga is a fascinating word that literally means 'swallow' or 'gulp'. However, in Colombian slang, it takes on a completely different and more romantic meaning: a deep crush or infatuation.

In this song, Darío Gómez sings, "Ni hasta cuándo me dure esta traga" (Nor how long this crush will last me). It's a colloquial and heartfelt way to express the intensity and uncertainty of his strong feelings, making it a unique and memorable word for learners.

Darío Gómez brings us a classic tale of a man drowning his sorrows in a bar, all because of a woman. He's determined to drink until he sees "el fondo a la botella" [the bottom of the bottle], because "la pena es honda" [the sorrow is deep].

He knows she hates to see him drunk, and she's even threatened to leave him for good if he keeps it up. But he's stuck in a cycle, unable to accept her forgetting him because he "solo nací para amarla" [was only born to love her]. He's torn between wanting to see her and knowing his drinking might push her away forever. So, he just keeps telling the bartender, "Sírvame la otra" [Serve me another], hoping she'll come to him, because he's not going to her. It's a pretty blunt look at heartbreak and a man's struggle with his habits.
