“Borracha Y Cansada” (Drunk and Tired) is Carmen DeLeon’s raw confession of heartbreak. Waking up alone at dawn, the Cuban singer imagines her partner slipping into someone else’s arms while she waits with empty glasses and even emptier answers. Each lyric drips with unanswered phone calls, lingering jealousy, and the stabbing thought that the other woman might be “más bella.” Over a bittersweet beat, Carmen turns her pain into poetry, admitting that her heart has morphed into a bottle—filled to the brim with tears, liquor, and unanswered questions.
In the chorus she proclaims she is “borracha” and “cansada de ser la buena,” meaning she is drunk and exhausted from always being the nice one. No matter how much she drinks, the silence burns, and the memories still sting. Yet beneath the sorrow there is a spark of strength: by calling out the betrayal, she takes the first step toward healing. The song is both a late-night lament and an empowering reminder that even shattered hearts can find their own rhythm again.
