A glass of wine that I find spilled on the floor
Reminds me that last night was more than I thought
My head, that only spins and looks for comfort
Your message, that came followed by a call
I only went out because it's real f*cking bad that the power wasn't coming
And I went asking for a little rum, to stay anesthetized
It was a very hot night, but what were you expecting?
If it was Santurce over on Twenty-Two and a plena was playing
They say that a drunk never lies
They don't care what people think
And the blame is on my drunkenness
That, what's his name?, I don't even know who he was
Wow, I lost my wallet again
I'm not drinking again
Here in Puerto Rico, it's like in Caracas
F*ck, the power again
And it's that, because of life's twists
I ran into a Puerto Rican girl
That is pissed off, among the smoke and the potholes
Drinking down the whole little plaza
And she only went out to forget
Everything that was happening to her
And in the morning when I called her
She didn't even remember
That it was a very hot night
We kissed on the bus
In the Caribbean, we make love
Without power and without water
They say that a drunk never lies
They don't care what people think
And the blame is on my drunkenness
That, what's his name?, I don't even know who he was
They say that a drunk never lies
They don't care what people think
And the blame is on my drunkenness
That, what's his name?, I don't even know who he was
By candlelight, we loved each other
But in such darkness, we didn't even see each other
By candlelight, we loved each other
But in such darkness, we didn't even see each other
By candlelight, we loved each other
But in such darkness, we didn't even see each other
By candlelight, we loved each other
But in such darkness, we didn't even see each other

SONG MEANING

“La Culpa” pairs Puerto Rican singer-songwriter Kany García with Venezuelan band Rawayana for a cheeky, tropical confession. Over bouncing Caribbean rhythms, the storytellers retrace a steamy summer night in Santurce where a citywide blackout, cheap rum and live plena music blur the lines between fun and recklessness. Pockets are emptied, names are forgotten, yet the chorus insists that “the blame belongs to my drunkenness”.

Behind the humor, the lyrics nod to real Caribbean life: unreliable electricity, sweltering heat and the urge to escape it all by partying in the streets. The song celebrates spontaneity, friendship and fleeting romance while gently mocking the excuses we make after too many drinks. It is a vibrant snapshot of how Latin America’s everyday struggles can still end in laughter, dance and unexpected kisses lit only by candlelight.
