Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴a cuantas veces me an sacado del tenampa
ya bien borracho y con un nudo en la garganta
voy por la calle cantando mis canciones
y los mariachis van pisando mis talones

les pedi 20, 30 Ò 5, 000 canciones
y me cantaron me cai de la nuve
me revolque grite y cante de sentimiento

me recordaron a un amor que yo antes tuve

en el tenampa se recuerdan muchas cosas
y los mariachis son los amos y seÑores
te tomas 4, 5, 20 Ò 30 copas
y las canciones te recuerdan tus amores

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song Me Sacaron del Tenampa by Cornelio Reyná describe a familiar scenario where the singer finds himself drunk and emotional, walking down the street singing his own songs while being followed by a group of Mariachis. The Tenampa is a reference to a famous bar in Mexico City, known for its traditional Mexican music and Mariachi performances. The singer talks about how he has been drawn to this bar many times before, and how the Mariachis hold a special place in his heart and are the true masters of the Tenampa. He talks about asking them to play 20, 30 or even 5,000 songs, and how their music transcends him to a state of nostalgia and longing, where he remembers past loves.


The song reflects a deep sense of nostalgia for the singer and the memories of the Titampa make him feel good about himself. The Mariachis’ music takes the singer on a journey to the past, making him recall his past loves and connecting him to his emotions. The song has a narrative quality with a lyrical style similar to the traditional Mexican ballads that tell emotional stories.
