Si Te Vas
Chema Lara Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
sangrado queda el corazón.
Después de algún respiro
sin aire pienso en la razón.
Si te vas, cierra puertas por fuera.
Si te vas, dime que en breve volverás,
o dime que te eché yo.
Si no hay más, quédate y mírame llorar
luego te podrás marchar.
Con tanto aun por darnos
tu rumbo va hacia otro lugar.
Con tanto ya pasado
reniegas de lo que pasó.
Si te vas, cierra puertas por fuera.
Si te vas, dime que en breve volverás,
o dime que te eché yo.
Si te vas, si te vas no te vayas.
Si no hay más, quédate y mírame llorar
luego te podrás marchar.
The lyrics of Chema Lara's song "Si te Vas" deal with the aftermath of a breakup, where the singer is struggling to come to terms with the fact that their partner is leaving. The first stanza talks about how the heart feels after experiencing loss and how difficult it is to find a reason to breathe when the air seems to have run out. These lines paint a picture of an emotionally exhausted individual who is trying to cope with the pain of a broken heart.
The second stanza refers to the actual act of leaving and how it affects both parties. The singer requests their partner to leave properly by closing the door behind them, indicating the finality of the decision. However, they are also given two options – either to promise that they will return soon or to take the blame for the split. This showcases the desperation and confusion that comes with a sudden departure of a lover.
The last stanza questions the motive behind the separation, suggesting that there was still so much to give and that the decision to leave stems from a desire to escape and not deal with the past. The song ends with the singer once again pleading with their partner to stay and watch them cry before leaving. Overall, "Si te Vas" is a poignant and emotional ballad that captures the complexity of a relationship's end.
