Yo me acerco tu te alejas
Café Quijano Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

He tratado siempre de amoldarme a lo que pidas
he querido siempre escucharte y entender
he cambiado tanto que cambié hasta mi vida
hasta aquí he llegado porque así no puede ser
Puedo consentirte mil caprichos y además
puedo hacerme el tonto y ver las cosas al revés
quise despistarme para no desconfiar
quise ser creyente y no creer
Como quieres que te quiera
como quieres que me acerque
si te fallan las maneras
si continuamente mientes
si una vez me acerco un poco
otro poco tu me alejas
Tuve una paciencia que no tiene nadie mas
todo por buscarle un porque a mi querer
hice tantas cosas que es mejor no recordar
nadas mas que hice pude hacer
Cómo quieres que te quiera
cómo quieres que me acerque
si te fallan las maneras
si continuamente mientes
si una vez me acerco un poco
otro poco tu me alejas
no tiene razón de ser cuando te quejas
Cómo quieres que te quiera
si te fallan las maneras
yo me acerco tu te alejas
sin razón cuando te quejas
Cómo quieres que te quiera
cómo quieres que me acerque
si te fallan las maneras
si continuamente mientes
si una vez me acerco un poco




otro poco tu me alejas
no tiene razón de ser cuando te quejas

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Café Quijano's song Yo me acerco tu te alejas describe a someone who has been trying to adapt and listen to their partner's needs, but has reached a point where they can no longer tolerate the constant lies and contradictory behavior. The singer expresses their frustration in trying to love someone who continues to push them away while also expecting them to make concessions and tolerate their whims. The lyrics convey a sense of resignation and a realization that the relationship cannot continue in this manner.


The song showcases the theme of conflicting emotions and the complexity of human relationships. It highlights how partners can become disconnected and unable to communicate effectively if they don't make a conscious effort to be truthful and empathetic towards each other. The lyrics emphasize how people can only give so much before reaching a breaking point and how trying to hold on to a relationship that is not healthy or fulfilling can ultimately lead to more pain than happiness.
