Copita De Licor Lyrics in English Alzate , Darío Gómez

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Copita De Licor by Alzate from Spanish to English.
I want you to know, princess
You ruined my whole life
Who invented love
To make us suffer, ay
That he tell me why
I have never been happy, ay
I swear to God
That I have been the best of men, ay
And they pay me like this
And you pay me like this, ay
Surprised
To see how life treats me
Crying, my tears mix
In a little glass of liquor
It's that you were
The greatest of all my failures
Drunk, my sorrows mix
In this little glass of liquor
I don't know whether to cry anymore
Much less live
That's how it is
Alzate
Daddy
You showed your true colors, princess
You truly showed who you are
Who invented love
To make us suffer
That they tell me why
I have never been happy, ay
I swear to God
That I have been the best of men, ay
And they pay me like this
And you pay me like this
How does it go?
Surprised
To see how life treats me
Crying, my tears mix
In a little glass of liquor, ay
It's that you were
The greatest of all my failures
Drunk, my sorrows mix
In this little glass of liquor
I don't know whether to cry anymore, ay
Much less live
That's it
Ay

SONG MEANING

Grab a tiny glass and pull up a barstool, because Copita De Licor is pure Colombian heartbreak served neat. Alzate teams up with the legendary Darío Gómez to pour out a tale of love gone spectacularly wrong: the singer feels betrayed by a “princesa” who has “ruined his whole life.” He swears he has been “the best of men,” yet life pays him back with pain, leaving him stunned as his tears mingle with a little cup of liquor. The repeated question “¿Quién se inventó el amor?” turns the song into a bittersweet rant against the very idea of love, highlighting the irony of romance that promises happiness but so often delivers sorrow.

Musically, the track blends modern Colombian ranchera with pop accents, creating the perfect backdrop for a good session of despecho—that special brand of Latin heartache. Every chorus invites listeners to raise their own glass, sing along, and share in the catharsis. Behind the sobs and the swagger lies a universal message: when love wounds us, we sometimes look for comfort at the bottom of a cup, but the real relief comes from singing our pain out loud and realizing we are not alone.
