Fuentes De Ortiz Lyrics in English by La Maquinaria Norteña
Empedado is a colloquial and somewhat informal term in Spanish, meaning 'drunk' or 'wasted'. It's a more colorful and less formal way to say 'borracho'.
In the song, the singer uses it to express the depth of his suffering and heartbreak, stating, "Ya he sufrido y me he empedado tanto por tu amor" (I've already suffered and gotten so drunk for your love). This word choice adds a raw, emotional, and relatable touch to his lament, highlighting the extent of his pain.
This song is one big, heartfelt plea for a straight answer. The singer is getting some serious mixed signals from the person he likes. He lays it all out right from the start: "Ya dime si quieres estar conmigo o si mejor me voy" (Just tell me if you want to be with me or if I should just go). It seems their actions and words don't match up at all. He complains, "Tus besos dicen que tú si me quieres pero tus palabras no" (Your kisses say you want me but your words don't). He's so frustrated by the confusion that he begs them, "neta ya me estás cansando, se concreta por favor" (for real, you're tiring me out, please be direct).
He's completely obsessed, admitting "de mi cabeza no sales" (you don't leave my head) and feels like he's falling into a trap every time. The uncertainty is making him feel insecure, and he's had enough of the suffering and drinking over this unconfirmed love. He ends the chorus with a dramatic ultimatum: if they keep making him suffer, he's going to a specific place, "las fuentes de Ortiz" (the Ortiz fountains), to finally forget them for good.
