TE FUISTE – Bilingual Lyrics Spanish/English
Lyrics & Translation
When a memory is beautiful, it's hard to erase
Tell me about it, no matter how hard I try, I can't avoid it
When I go out on the street, I see your face
At night, the memories kill me
When the cold comes and I know you're far away
I don't know the reason for this situation (I don't know)
Why did we have that argument? (I don't know, I don't know)
Why did you leave without saying goodbye?
Tell me why you left
I listen to this song and I get sadder
Because even though you left, I swore to recover
I can't take it anymore, you broke my heart
Tell me why you left
I listen to this song and I get sadder
Because even though you left, I swore to recover
I can't take it anymore, you broke my heart
Uh, yeah
Whenever I think of you, my mood changes
At least give a valid excuse
I'm the one who keeps calling anonymously
I know she imagined it inside herself
All the romantic songs remind me of you
Those are things about love, I'm still here
Maybe she already has someone and isn't for me anymore
Nights are sleepless, I can't live like this
Everything was sex and love, her heart closed
I miss the euphoria it gave us both
You were my escape, if what we had ended, everything turned into nothing
You made me feel like a traitor
Why did you leave?
I listen to this song and I get sadder
Because even though you left, I swore to recover
I can't take it anymore, you broke my heart
Tell me why you left
I listen to this song and I get sadder
Because even though you left, I swore to recover
I can't take it anymore, you broke my heart (uh, yeah)
I miss you, why delude myself?
I don't know how to overcome the pain
No matter how much I try, I can't forget you
No matter how much I try, I can't erase you
How I miss you, why deny it?
Without you, I don't know how to breathe, no
No matter how much I try, I can't forget you (I can't forget you)
Tell me why you left
I listen to this song and I get sadder
Because even though you left, I swore to recover
I can't take it anymore, you broke my heart
O-O-Ovy On The Drums
Tell me why you left

Key Grammar Structures
-
Dime por qué te fuiste
➔ Imperative form, Interrogative 'por qué', Preterite tense.
➔ The phrase "Dime" is the informal (tú) imperative form of "decir" (to say/tell). It's used to give a direct command or make a request. "Por qué" is used to ask for a reason. "Te fuiste" is the preterite tense of the reflexive verb "irse" (to leave), indicating a completed action in the past.
-
Cuando un recuerdo es bonito, es difícil de borrarlo
➔ 'Cuando' (conditional clause), impersonal expression 'es difícil de + infinitive'.
➔ "Cuando" introduces a temporal or conditional clause, meaning "when" or "whenever". "Es difícil de + infinitive" is an impersonal construction used to express that something is difficult to do. "Borrarlo" combines the infinitive "borrar" (to erase) with the direct object pronoun "lo" (it), referring to "el recuerdo".
-
Por la noche me matan los recuerdos
➔ Inverted subject-verb order (similar to 'gustar' verbs), Indirect Object Pronoun.
➔ In Spanish, verbs like "matar" (to kill/hurt deeply) can function similarly to "gustar" (to like), where the grammatical subject is what causes the feeling, and the person experiencing it is the indirect object. Here, "los recuerdos" (the memories) are the subject causing the pain, and "me" indicates that the speaker is the one affected.
-
¿Por qué te fuiste sin decir adiós?
➔ 'Sin + infinitive'.
➔ The structure "sin + infinitive" is used to express that an action is performed without doing another action, or to indicate the absence of a parallel action. It translates to "without [doing something]".
-
Porque aunque te fuiste, juré reponerme
➔ 'Aunque + indicative', Reflexive verb ('reponerse').
➔ "Aunque" introduces a concessive clause, meaning "although" or "even though". When followed by the indicative, it states a fact. "Reponerme" is the infinitive form of the reflexive verb "reponerse" (to recover, to get over something), indicating that the action of recovering is performed by and affects the subject itself.
-
Todavía sigo aquí
➔ 'Seguir + gerund' (implied).
➔ The construction "seguir + gerund" (e.g., "seguir haciendo", "seguir viviendo") is used to express the continuation of an action or state. While "aquí" is a place, "seguir aquí" implies "still being here" or "still remaining here", indicating a continuous state. The missing gerund here is implied (e.g., "seguir estando aquí").
-
Yo sé que dentro de ella se lo imaginó
➔ Double object pronouns 'se lo', Preterite tense.
➔ This sentence features the combination of two object pronouns: "se" (an indirect object pronoun, replacing "le" or "les" when followed by a direct object pronoun beginning with 'l') and "lo" (a direct object pronoun, referring to "it" or "that"). The order is always Indirect Object + Direct Object. "Imaginó" is the preterite tense of "imaginar" (to imagine), indicating a completed action in the past.
-
Por mucho que lo intento, no puedo olvidarte
➔ 'Por mucho que + indicative', negative capability.
➔ "Por mucho que" is a concessive phrase meaning "no matter how much" or "however much". It introduces a clause that expresses an action or state that is contrasted with the main clause. The indicative mood ("intento") is used because the action is presented as a fact. "No puedo olvidarte" expresses an inability to perform the action of forgetting.
-
Yo sin ti no sé respirar, no
➔ 'Sin + noun/pronoun', 'Saber + infinitive' (knowing how to do something).
➔ "Sin + noun/pronoun" means "without [someone/something]". "No sé + infinitive" is a common construction to express "I don't know how to [do something]" or "I can't [do something]" in the sense of lacking the knowledge or ability. Here, it implies a complete inability to function without the other person.
