Necesito Tomar Lyrics in English Gerardo Coronel

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Necesito Tomar by Gerardo Coronel from Spanish to English.
I need to drink
That alcohol helps me out with its effect
To forget sip by sip about her kisses
It's ok if the excesses relapse
I need to drink
Maybe a tequila
Because not even with therapy have I gotten over her leaving
I need to drink
To reset my memory
So that when they ask about her, I tell them
"Who's that girl?"
I need to drink
To get out what I feel
Like Vicente said
"Cry and cry," to cleanse the chest
I need to drink
To forget how much I love her
I need to drink
To reset my memory
So that when they ask about her, I tell them
"Who's that girl?"
I need to drink
To get out what I feel
Like Vicente said
"Cry and cry," to cleanse the chest
I need to drink
To forget how much I love her

SONG MEANING

Gerardo Coronel turns heartbreak into a cantina confession in Necesito Tomar. The singer is reeling from a breakup, and every line is a toast to forgetting. Therapists have failed him, so he calls on tequila to do the heavy lifting: shot after shot, he hopes the buzz will “reset his memory” until he can answer, ¿Quién es esa morra? When the liquor stings, he quotes the legendary Vicente Fernández’s advice to “llorar y llorar” – cry and cry – because sometimes tears and mezcal are the only cleaners strong enough for a wounded chest.

The song captures that bittersweet Mexican tradition of curing sorrow with música de banda, alcohol, and raw emotion. It is a candid look at how excess becomes a temporary refuge: each drink is both medicine and poison, numbing love’s ache for a night while hinting at tomorrow’s inevitable relapse. Listeners are invited to raise a glass, sing along, and feel the catharsis of admitting, “I just need to drink.”
