Song Meaning of “En el Último Trago” by Enrique Guzman
En el Último Trago is a song by the Mexican singer Enrique Guzman about saying goodbye to a rejected love. It speaks of a lover who does not understand why they have been rejected by their now-former love, and they are now saying goodbye, having taken up some alcohol to help ease the pain of their heartbreak.
The lyrics describe the emotions of the singer as they try to move on from their heartbreak. The first stanza speaks of the frustration of the singer as they take up the last drink of the night and try to forget their now-former love. They fill their glass with tequila, trying to numb the pain they feel, and expressing that they wished they could have done something differently.
The chorus reflects the realization that they are now alone, and the hurt of knowing that there is no going back. They sing out in despair: “En el ultimo trago, que no me vas a querer/ ahora te veo partir, y me muero de dolor”. The singer has lost hope, knowing that no matter what, their love is lost, and they will never get it back.
The song is ultimately a reflection of the pain of a broken heart. It speaks to the difficultly of accepting a closed door, and moving on from someone that once meant so much.
