Que Manera de Perder
Cuco Sánchez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
El vivir juntos los dos
Vete ya por el camino
Que la suerte te marcó
A mi lado no lo niegues
Fuiste mucho muy feliz
Pero eso no lo entiendes
Y no hay nada bueno en ti
Pero si yo ya sabía
Que todo esto pasaía,
¿como diablos fui a caer?
Me re lleva la tristeza
¡que desgracia!, ¡que torpeza!
¡que manera de perder!
Pero en fin ya nos quisimos
Tu te vas y yo me voy
Al perderte voy ganando
Anda vete a ver que encuentras
Y que te bendiga dios
The lyrics of Cuco Sánchez's song Qué Manera de Perder describe a person saying goodbye to their lover. The sentiment expressed in the lyrics is that it is now impossible for them to continue living together. The person tells their lover to leave because their luck has marked their fate. They acknowledge that they were once happy together, but the person they loved was inherently bad and there was nothing good in them. The person singing reflects that now they are left with sadness and regrets.
The singer then admits that they knew all along that this was bound to happen, so they question why they fell in love in the first place. They express their sadness and regret, saying that this is a terrible way to lose at love. In the end, they acknowledge that they both have to go their separate ways, hoping that their former lover has better luck in the future.
