Con Una Copa De Vino (Remasterizado) Lyrics in English by Vicente Fernández
Few things are more ranchera than a heartbroken man raising a glass, and Vicente Fernández does exactly that here. He opens with "Con una copa de vino voy a empezar el camino" (with a glass of wine I'm going to start the road), the road that his lover's goodbye has pointed him down. He even invites her to drink it with him, and then asks her to leave him there, forgotten.
He is not surprised by the breakup: "Este adiós que me das, hace tiempo lo estaba esperando" (this goodbye you give me, I'd been expecting it for a long time). Nothing lasts, he says, "todo es viento y nubes de paso" (it's all wind and passing clouds). The chorus is gloriously dramatic: "Yo nací para vivir sin amor" (I was born to live without love), and he'll carry his bitter pain "esperando que venga la muerte" (waiting for death to come). It is a bit much, and that is the point.
