The song "Quince O Veinte Copas" by Joan Manuel Serrat & Joaquín Sabina tells the story of a drunken night and its aftermath. The lyrics describe the protagonist, who had consumed fifteen or twenty drinks, encountering a woman who hated drunkards like him. However, that night, the protagonist, who refers to himself as the king of cocaine, wanted to undress her, and she did not refuse. The lyrics further mention a situation where the protagonist had a drug-filled bag in his pocket, insinuating that the woman deserved better than someone like him. They lost control and found themselves in a car, babbling, while the protagonist forgave themselves at dawn. After this incident, the protagonist attempts to distract himself from the woman and his own feelings. They buy golf clubs, go back to yoga class, but even these distractions cannot free them from the memories of that night. The song suggests that the protagonist made the decision to grow old and confront their feelings rather than escaping from them through alcohol. However, even when they drink again, it no longer becomes as dark as before. The lyrics also mention the protagonist's usual reluctance to show vulnerability or emotions. However, seeing the woman in the arms of a drug dealer, with him kissing her neck, nearly drives the protagonist to madness. This event almost pushes them to lose control and confront their feelings for the woman. Overall, the song portrays a night of drunkenness and a tumultuous relationship, reflecting on the consequences and the narrator's decision to face their emotions and grow older. It is a reflection on the complexities of love, self-destructive behavior, and the passage of time.
