UNA CERVEZA Lyrics in English by Fuerza Regida, Manuel Turizo
Casé is the past tense of the verb casarse, which means 'to get married'. While you might know this word in the context of a wedding, this song uses it in a deeply poetic and heartbreaking way.
The singer says, "con tu recuerdo yo me casé", which translates to "I married your memory". He uses this powerful metaphor to express that even though he's alone, he is eternally committed to the memory of his past love, making it impossible for him to move on.
This song is a straight-up heartbreak anthem. The singer is trying to get over someone, but it's not working. He starts by saying, "Una cerveza puede ayudar a que salgas de mi cabeza" (A beer might help get you out of my head), but it's clear one beer isn't going to cut it. He's lost in memories of the little things, like her sleepy eyes and holding her leg while driving. He used to be a guy who always won, but with her, he says, "me fue muy mal" (it went very badly for me). Now, his whole life has changed; he's become an "antisocial" who doesn't enjoy going out with friends anymore.
He's so stuck on her that he feels like winning at anything else is a failure: "Coronar sin ti es como que fracasé" (To succeed without you is like I failed). He even admits to being with a new girl whose name he doesn't know, which he feels is unfair to her because he can't stop thinking about his ex. The song ends with him directly asking his ex why she hasn't come back, reminding her of all their plans for a house, kids, and a dog. It's a sad, honest look at someone who is completely lost after a breakup.
