Que Te Vaya Bien
Cuco Sánchez Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Y a mí me desprecies
No me improta que solo me dejes
Llorando tu amor
Eres libre de amar en la vida
Y yo no te culpo
Si tu alma no supo querer
Sé muy bien que es en vano pedirte
Que vuelvas conmigo
Porque sé que tú siempre has mentido
Jurándome amor
Y yo en cambio no quiero estorbarte
Ni dañar tu vida
Soy sincero y sabré perdonarte
Sin guardar rencor
No creas que siento despecho
Al ver que te alejas
Si me dejas por un nuevo amor
Te dejo también
Que al fin con el tiempo el olvido
Curará mi pena
Sigue feliz tu camino
Y que te vaya bien
Que al fin con el tiempo el olvido
Curará mi pena
Sigue feliz tu camino
Y que te vaya bien
Que te vaya bien
Que te vaya bien
In Cuco Sanchez's song "Que Te Vaya Bien," the singer expresses his deep affection for someone who does not return his feelings in the same way. He sings of his lack of concern for her love for someone else, although he admits to feeling hurt when she treats him with disdain. The singer gives her permission to continue on her journey of loving freely, despite not feeling the same way for him. He understands that not all hearts are created equal and that sometimes we are not able to love someone as much as they love us.
The singer acknowledges that it is pointless to ask her to come back to him. He believes that his former partner has told lies about her love for him, and he does not want to interfere with her life, so he is ready to forgive her sincerely. The singer does not feel any bitterness, but instead, he wishes her happiness even if it means with someone else. He accepts that time will heal his wounds, and he hopes that she will continue on a path that brings fulfillment and joy.
Through this song, Cuco Sanchez captures a human experience of loving without being loved in return. He conveys the message of selflessness, acceptance, and forgiveness, proving that love should not be forced upon anyone. True love, as Sanchez suggests, should allow the beloved to walk their path freely, even if it means denying our feelings.
