Vamos A Dejarlo Así
Azúcar Moreno Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vamos a dejarlo así
no ahondemos más
en la arena
que tú fuiste y que yo fui
vamos a dejarlo así
que no merece la pena

Vamos a dejarlo así

las cuentas son dolorosas
tú ganaste y yo perdí
Ay! vamos a dejarlo así
que así se mueren las rosas

Vamos a dejarlo así
sin aires de calentura
tú creías y yo creí
pues vamos a dejarlo así
no haya rencor ni amargura

Vamos a dejarlo así
sin aires de calentura
tú creías y yo creí
pues vamos a dejarlo así
no haya rencor ni amargura

Vamos a dejarlo así
que nadie advierta
el combate
ni me heriste ni yo te herí
Ay! vamos a dejarlo así
aunque la herida nos mate
Vamos a dejarlo así

Vamos a dejarlo así
Vamos a dejarlo aquí.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Azucar Moreno's song "Vamos A Dejarlo Así" can be interpreted as two people who have been through a painful and difficult relationship or breakup. They both know that continuing to dwell on their past and revisit their wounds will only cause them further pain, and so they have come to a mutual understanding that it's best to simply let things be as they are. The lines "no ahondemos más en la arena que tú fuiste y que yo fui" (let's not dig deeper into the sand that you were and I was) and "las cuentas son dolorosas, tú ganaste y yo perdí" (the accounts are painful, you won and I lost) both suggest that the relationship caused pain and hurt to both parties, and acknowledging that fact allows them to move on from it.

The repeated phrase "vamos a dejarlo así" (let's leave it like this) serves as a reminder that it's time to move on and stop dwelling on the past. The lines "que así se mueren las rosas" (that's how roses die) allude to the idea that holding onto past hurts and resentments will only lead to the death of something beautiful, just like how not letting go of a rose past its prime will eventually cause it to wither away.

Overall, the song presents an emotional journey of two people coming to terms with the end of their relationship and realizing that it's better to forgive and forget than hold onto grudges and pain.
