Bottle after bottle, I drink
Just to forget her (just to forget her)
Her and only her is all I talk about in my drinking (in my drinking)
My fed-up compas’ [compadres] tell me how
“Bro, you need to get past her now.”
But, I can’t
Honestly, maybe I don’t want to
Instead, I’ll drink to her memory
The drink tastes better that way
I was thinking of calling of you
I see you everywhere
But we don’t see each other anymore
Let’s just forget it
After two drinks, you’re on my mind again
Clinging I don’t want to forget you
Feelings I’ve never experienced
Jealousy is never good
And if you call me, I’ll answer
but that’s not gonna happen (that’s not gonna happen)
It’s best I don’t bother you
Because I’ll screw things up again (bet your ass I’ll screw things up again)
And now that I’m drinking
I feel sad; it’s almost morning
Sometimes the drink takes away the pain
but I never stopped loving you
I was a bad match for you, my love
Drunk-calling you on your cell
Putting salt on the wound
Oh, how I wished the way things were
Makes me get sentimental
I’m always thinking of you (I’m always thinking of you)
Depre’ [depression] gets a hold of me
that I even wrote you a CD
Bottle after bottle, I’ll drink
just to remember her (just to remember her)
Her and only her
is all I talk about in my drinking (in my drinking)
My fed-up compas’ [compadres] tell me how
“Bro, you need to get past her now.”
But, I can’t
Honestly, maybe I don’t want to
Instead, I’ll drink to her memory
The drink tastes better that way
I was thinking of calling you (Bis)
But we don’t see each other anymore (Bis)
Makes me get sentimental
I’m always thinking of you (I’m always thinking of you)
Depre’ [depression] gets a hold of me
that I even wrote you a CD (I even wrote you a CD)
If you love someone, don’t let them go.
So you don’t have to dedicate a song like this to her51
About Christian Nodal
Mexican singer, songwriter, and multi-instrumentalist Christian Nodal. He blends mariachi with norteo and sometimes pop hooks for a chart-topping sound. He has a rich, emotional tenor voice. In 2016, he released his debut single, “Adiós Amor,” with a mariachi orchestra; it reached the top of the Mexican Regional charts and remained there for nearly six months. He reached number two in the U.S. with his much-anticipated debut album, Me Dejé Llevar. There were four multi-platinum singles on the album. On his tour across the Americas, Nodal established his reputation with Ahora, his long-player from 2019. That’s great! The EP was released in May 2020, but by September 2021 it had become a full-length Top Ten album. After collaborating with Mana on their duo hit single “Te Llore un Rio” in February 2022, he released the Forajido EP in May 2022.
Early Life of Christain Nodal
Born in 1999, Nodal comes from a musical family. Silvia Cristina Nodal, his mother, was a professional mariachi singer. Jaime González, his father, owns an independent record label and produced Ariel Camacho. In addition, many of his uncles, aunts, and cousins are musicians. Nodal began singing at the age of four and gravitated toward musical instruments at the age of eight. As a child, he taught himself to play piano, guitar, trumpet, and later, accordion. At the age of 13, he began writing songs and posting videos of his performances online. A&R at Fonovisa signed him in 2016, after he caught the attention of the company’s A&R department. In 2019, he appeared as a featured vocalist in Los Plebes del Rancho’s “No Pasa de Moda” video, which garnered over 22 million views. The Lo Nuestro Awards awarded him Regional Mexican Male Artist of the Year that year.
“Adios Amor,” written by Salvador Garza, topped the Mexican Regional Songs chart and topped the Top Latin Songs chart, where it spent 33 weeks. It also became the anthem of the Mexican National Team during the 2018 World Cup, with more than 688 million views. A total of 21 platinum records were eventually achieved by the single.
Three more singles followed, including “Problamente” featuring David Bisbal, which placed in the Top 20 of the Mexican Regional Songs survey and within the Top 40 of the Top Latin Songs chart. The albums were all certified multi-platinum. The debut album, Me Dejé Llevar, was released in August 2017. In addition to earning a Latin Grammy and double-platinum certification, it topped the Mexican Regional Albums chart, peaked at number two on the Top Latin Albums survey, and topped the Mexican Regional Albums chart. Premios Juventud and Latin American Music awards were given to Nodal as best new artist.
Nodal’s sophomore effort, Now, followed three platinum-certified singles — “Nada Nuevo,” “No Te Contaron Mal,” and “De los Besos Te Di.” The album reached number seven on the Mexican Regional Charts and reached the pop Top 20 at home, winning a pair of Latin Grammys for best mariachi album and best mariachi song. The same year, Nodal appeared on the hit single “Tequila” by Juanes.
