Letra del Tango Una copa mas

Del fondo de una copa pesco sueños,
afuera llueve y llueve sin cesar.
La copa de licor y tu recuerdo,
me han puesto el corazón sentimental.
Anima el carillón la medianoche
y hay algo que le miente a mi ilusión,
que estamos frente a frente como entonces,
brindando por la suerte del amor.

Una copa más…
para el recuerdo que viene
a acompañar mi soledad…
Brindemos corazón, por este sueño
que entibia nuestra vida una vez más.

Una copa más…
Una tan solo,
que luego, de apurada, he de quebrar
para que nadie más pueda con ella,
por el ausente amor brindar…

Sigamos, corazón, pescando sueños
del fondo de una copa de licor,
igual que una presencia es el recuerdo
y hoy siento que esta aquí junto a los dos.
Afuera la llovizna del invierno
modula su canción sentimental.
Vivamos, corazón, este momento,
brindando por la dicha que se va.

English lyrics of the Tango "Una copa mas"

From the depths of a glass, I fish for dreams,
outside it rains and rains endlessly.
The glass of liquor and your memory,
have turned my heart sentimental.
The chime animates the midnight
and there is something that deceives my hope,
that we are face to face as before,
toasting to the fortune of love.

One more glass…
for the memory that comes
to accompany my solitude…
Let’s toast, heart, to this dream
that warms our life once more.

One more glass…
Just one,
that later, in haste, I will break
so that no one else with it,
can toast to the absent love…

Let’s continue, heart, fishing for dreams
from the bottom of a glass of liquor,
just like a presence is the memory
and today I feel it is here with both of us.
Outside, the winter drizzle
modulates its sentimental song.
Let’s live, heart, this moment,
toasting to the joy that fades away.

Story behind the Tango Una copa mas

The lyrics of “Una copa mas” evoke a deep sense of loneliness and nostalgia, manifesting a dialogue between the speaker and his memories. Through the act of drinking alone, the narrator dredges up past dreams and a lost love, seeking comfort in the illusion that by drinking, they might momentarily bridge the gap between the past and present. The repetitive invocation of sharing “one more glass” points to a ritual of remembering, and perhaps an attempt to temporarily alleviate the solitude with the warmth of memories. The rain outside enhances the mood, creating a classic metaphor for the unending and melancholic passage of time.



Symbolism of Una copa mas

The central symbol in “Una copa mas” is the glass of liquor, representing both a vessel for memories and a tool for escaping reality. The act of breaking the glass after a final toast to an absent love embodies a desire to end the cycle of reminiscence, suggesting a moment of finality and resignation. The ongoing rain echoes the inescapable flow of time and the persistence of memory, while the chime of the midnight bell underscores the loneliness of the hour and amplifies the emotional weight of the moment.



Una copa mas in Historic Context

The year 1944, when “Una copa mas” was recorded, was a time of global turmoil as World War II was nearing its end. While Argentina remained neutral for much of the war, the era was nonetheless marked by internal and external political and social changes. The nostalgic and sorrowful themes in the tango may reflect a broader societal sense of uncertainty and mourning. The intimate act of drinking while reminiscing might resonate with an audience coping with loss and change, finding solace in the shared human experiences of love and loss presented in the lyrics.
