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

guagua — bus

Guagua is a fun, colloquial word for "bus" in Puerto Rico, Cuba, the Dominican Republic, and the Canary Islands. Be careful, though! In countries like Chile and Peru, a guagua is a baby or small child.

In this song, Kany García sets a romantic scene with the line "Nos besamos en la guagua" (We kissed on the bus), telling a story of a spontaneous connection during a hot Caribbean night. It's a perfect example of how Spanish vocabulary can change completely from one country to another!

“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.
