Lyrics & Translation

[Spanish]

[English]

Ya no hay reconciliación, hoy es punto y aparte

There is no reconciliation, today is a clean break

Para siempre se marchó y no cumplió su parte

She left forever and didn't do her part

Sí

Yes

Me duele su partida, me dejó mil heridas

Her departure hurts, she left me a thousand wounds

Y, qué le voy a hacer

And, what am I going to do?

Si no quiere volver

If she doesn't want to come back

Ya

Now

Se fue a la basura

It went to the trash

Nuestras travesuras

Our mischief

Las historias de amor

The love stories

En el pasado quedó

Remained in the past

Y ahora, cómo le hago yo

And now, what do I do?

Si mis planes a su lado son mejor

If my plans by her side are better

En las noches la sueño

At night I dream of her

Y todavía no entiendo

And I still don't understand

Me hizo volar tan alto

She made me fly so high

Me dejó sin alas

She left me without wings

Luego me soltó

Then she let me go

Yo me veía con ella

I saw myself with her

Para mí era una estrella

For me she was a star

Y la presumí tanto

And I showed her off so much

Se puso celoso, el sol me la quitó

The sun got jealous, took her away from me

Le gustaba mi sonrisa

She liked my smile

Por eso se la llevó

That's why she took it away

Me dejó el corazón

She left me the heart

Pero partido en dos

But broken in two

...

Por las noches la sueño

At night I dream of her

Me dejo sin alas

She left me without wings

Luego me soltó

Then she let me go

Yo me veía con ella

I saw myself with her

Para mí era una estrella

For me she was a star

Y la presumí tanto

And I showed her off so much

Se puso celoso, el sol me la quitó

The sun got jealous, took her away from me

Le gustaba mi sonrisa

She liked my smile

Por eso se la llevó

That's why she took it away

Me dejó el corazón

She left me the heart

Pero partido en dos

But broken in two

Y hoy

And today

Yo sigo mi camino

I continue my path

Ya no está conmigo

She's no longer with me

Porque le valió

Because she didn't care

Ya de plano se acabó

It's definitely over

Se fue sin decir adiós

She left without saying goodbye

Se acabó

It's over

Key Grammar Structures

• Ya no hay reconciliación, hoy es punto y aparte

  ➔ Impersonal 'hay'

  ➔ 'Hay' indicates existence or that something exists, but doesn't refer to a specific subject. In this case, it means 'There is no reconciliation'.

• Para siempre se marchó y no cumplió su parte

  ➔ Use of 'se' as reflexive/passive pronoun

  ➔ Here, 'se marchó' means 'she left/went away'. 'Se' is used reflexively, indicating that the action of leaving is done to herself (she is the one who leaves).

• Me duele su partida, me dejó mil heridas

  ➔ Use of 'doler' with indirect object pronoun

  ➔ 'Me duele' translates to 'it hurts me'. 'Me' is the indirect object pronoun, indicating who is experiencing the pain. The subject is 'su partida' (her departure), which causes the pain.

• Y, qué le voy a hacer

  ➔ Future simple tense using 'ir a' + infinitive for expressing plans/intentions

  ➔ 'Voy a hacer' is a way to express the near future or an intention. Here, it is used rhetorically, meaning 'What am I going to do?'.

• Se fue a la basura

  ➔ Preterite tense of 'ir' with 'a' + location

  ➔ 'Se fue a la basura' literally means 'it went to the trash'. In this context, it means that something was thrown away or ruined.

• En las noches la sueño

  ➔ Object pronouns placed before the verb.

  ➔ 'La sueño' means 'I dream of her'. The object pronoun 'la' (her) is placed before the verb 'sueño' (I dream).

• Me hizo volar tan alto, Me dejó sin alas

  ➔ Causative 'hacer' + infinitive and use of 'sin'

  ➔ 'Me hizo volar' means 'She made me fly' (causative). 'Sin alas' means 'without wings'. This construction with 'sin' indicates the lack of something.

• Y hoy, Yo sigo mi camino, Ya no está conmigo

  ➔ Use of personal pronoun for emphasis and the contrast between present continuous and simple present

  ➔ The 'Yo' is often omitted in Spanish, but here it is included for emphasis ('I' specifically am continuing on my path). 'Sigo' is simple present, indicating a general truth or habit. 'Ya no está conmigo' emphasizes that she is not with him anymore
