Tres Tragos

Ernes' song 'Tres Tragos' is a vibrant and playful exploration of desire, connection, and the intoxicating effects of attraction. The lyrics paint a picture of a night fueled by drinks and mutual attraction, where the protagonist uses the pretext of a casual greeting to express deeper intentions. The line 'Si te escribo hola no es pa saludarte' (If I write you hello, it's not to greet you) sets the tone for the song, revealing that the protagonist's true aim is to spend an intimate night with the object of his affection.

The recurring motif of drinks ('Un trago, dos tragos, tomamos tres y nos vamos pa el carajo') symbolizes the gradual loosening of inhibitions and the progression of their connection. Each drink represents a step closer to abandoning caution and embracing the moment. The protagonist acknowledges the woman's initial shyness but notes that she becomes more open and willing to take risks with him. This dynamic is captured in the line 'Ella es tímida, pero conmigo da el paso' (She is shy, but with me, she takes the step).

Cultural references enrich the song's narrative, such as the mention of 'Cien años de soledad' (One Hundred Years of Solitude), a nod to Gabriel García Márquez's famous novel, suggesting a desire to close a chapter of loneliness. The playful and romantic imagery, like comparing the woman's eyes to coffee and himself to a gin tonic in summer, adds a layer of charm and intimacy. Ernes' musical style, characterized by its catchy rhythms and relatable lyrics, makes 'Tres Tragos' a captivating anthem of modern romance and the thrill of new connections.
