Un Cumbión Dolido by Christian Nodal is a song about heartbreak and the pain that comes with it. The lyrics describe the singer drinking alone in a seedy bar, singing songs of heartbreak and loss. He reflects on the fact that he is not the only one who has experienced this kind of pain, as he sees another man next to him who has also lost everything due to blind love. The singer's grandmother warned him that love can be dangerous and even deadly, and he now seeks solace in dancing with a broken-hearted woman who can understand his pain. Despite the sadness and heartache, the song encourages listeners to keep going and find joy in life, even in the midst of difficult times.

Having drinks with strangers
In a rundown bar is where I am
Toasting to the memories that you've left
Singing heartbreak songs at the top of my lungs
Prechorus 1
And here I'm not the only one to whom it has happened
The friend by my side also lost everything
Because of loving blindly he became deaf
And from that stumble he never got up
Chorus 1
Because that's how it is, son, that's how it goes
My grandma was saying, love can kill
That's why I'm only looking for a little devil to dance
Who also is broken to fit
Because that's how it is, son, that's how it goes
My grandma was saying, love can kill
And it almost killed me, but it wasn't the occasion
That's why I'm hurt, but dancing a cumbia
Verse 1
Today I've been drinking all night and surely I'll find the sun
In another place, someone else may want her, but it's the same pain
Who condemned me when she said 'goodbye', loving her is a bitch
I had hope, but it escaped when God abandoned me
Because he sends signals, but I always ignore them
I like the bad ones that I like, that's how it goes
I don't know how to give a little, I only know how to give everything
I give everything
Prechorus 2
And here I'm not the only one to whom it has happened
The friend by my side also lost everything
Because of loving blindly he became deaf
And from that stumble he never got up
Chorus 2
Because that's how it is, son, that's how it goes
My grandma was saying, love can kill
That's why I'm only looking for a little devil to dance
Who also is broken to fit
Because that's how it is, son, that's how it goes
My grandma was saying, love can kill
And it almost killed me, but it wasn't the occasion
That's why I'm hurt, but dancing a cumbia
Verse 2
And I want everyone with the drink up, so we toast
Cheers to all those sorrows that we never forget
Here we take pain out to dance
Life is short and the one who endures it, more
And with the drink up, that's how we toast
Cheers to all those sorrows that we never forget
Here we take pain out to dance
Life is short and the one who endures it, more
Chorus 3
Because that's how it is, son, that's how it goes
My grandma was saying, love can kill
That's why I'm only looking for a little devil to dance
Who also is broken to fit
Because that's how it is, son, that's how it goes
My grandma was saying, love can kill
And it almost killed me, but it wasn't the occasion
That's why I'm hurt, but dancing a cumbia
