Ya no jalaba – Bilingual Lyrics Spanish/English

• By: PANDA
• Album: La Revancha Del Príncipe Charro

Lyrics & Translation

Thinking about learning Spanish? Let the energetic pop-punk of PANDA's 'Ya no jalaba' be your fun and catchy entry point! This song is a great way to pick up informal Mexican-Spanish phrases about relationships, all wrapped in a classic early 2000s rock sound. What makes it special is its honest and direct take on a universal experience – the breakup.

[English]

Maybe this is for the best

Because what we had didn't work out

I spent all day thinking

That this won't be the same

It had to end

After all, it didn't make sense

I no longer saw you the same way

I let time pass by

To see if one day you would realize

But that never happened

Until one fine day it came

Don't ask me "why"

I don't want to know anymore"

Things change

Things change

Maybe the best

Was to say "goodbye"

It didn't work out, it didn't work out, no, no

...

I think you didn't understand well

You don't like it, I know

What you want will never happen

Try to accept it and stop bothering me

Don't ask me "why"

I don't want to know anymore"

Things change

Things change

Maybe the best

Was to say "goodbye"

It didn't work out, it didn't work out, no, no

...

Don't ask me "why"

I don't want to know anymore"

Things change

Things change

Maybe the best

Was to say goodbye

It didn't work out, it didn't work out, no, no

Don't ask me "why"

I don't want to know anymore"

Things change

Things change

Maybe the best

Was to say goodbye

It didn't work out, it didn't work out, no, no

...

[Spanish]

Tal vez esto es lo mejor

Pues lo nuestro no jaló

Me pasaba todo el día pensando

Que esto no va a ser igual

Ya tenía que terminar

Al fin y al cabo no tenía caso

Ya no te veía igual

Dejaba el tiempo pasar

A ver si algún día tú te dabas cuenta

Pero eso no pasó

Hasta que un buen día llegó

No me preguntes "por qué

Ya no quiero saber"

Las cosas cambian

Las cosas cambian

Tal vez lo mejor

Era decir "adiós"

Ya no jalaba, ya no jalaba, no, no

Creo que no entendiste bien

No te gusta, ya lo sé

Eso que quieres nunca podrá suceder

Trátalo de aceptar y déjame de molestar

No me preguntes "por qué

Ya no quiero saber"

Las cosas cambian

Las cosas cambian

Tal vez lo mejor

Era decir "adiós"

Ya no jalaba, ya no jalaba, no, no

No me preguntes "por qué

Ya no quiero saber"

Las cosas cambian

Las cosas cambian

Tal vez lo mejor

Era decir adiós

Ya no jalaba, ya no jalaba, no, no

No me preguntes "por qué

Ya no quiero saber"

Las cosas cambian

Las cosas cambian

Tal vez lo mejor

Era decir adiós

Ya no jalaba, ya no jalaba no, no
