The talented artist decided to stay in Mexico while visiting the country along with the Cuban Modern Music Orquestra. In 1992, Luis Miguel recorded his songs "Pensar En Ti," featured on his album Aries, and "Que Tu Te Vas," on Nada Es Igual, which were good enough to captivate the attention of Warner Music.

Que Tú Te Vas
Francisco Céspedes Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Cantando voy, cantando todo
Cantando lo que da la vida
Pero hoy al intentar, no tuve que contar
Anda de desamor el alma mía

Amando voy, amando todo
Y eso consuela esta tristeza mía
Después de tanto andar

Me llega otro final
Y mas allá que otro fracaso
Me duele imaginar

Que tú te vas, que tú te vas
Y qué hago con mis sueños
Mientras yo pueda olvidar
Ya sé que es sabio el tiempo
Y todo pasará
Pero me duele tanto
Ahora que no estás

Sintiendo estoy sintiendo todo
Dolor, tristeza, soledad y lágrimas
Y trato de ocultar me muerte en la ciudad
Pero no escapo de este instante
De amarte y tú no estás

Que tú te vas, que tú te vas
Y qué hago con mis sueños
Mientras yo pueda olvidar
Ya sé que es sabio el tiempo
Y todo pasará

Pero me duele tanto
Ahora que no estás

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of the song "Que Tu Te Vas" by Francisco Cespedes describe the rollercoaster of emotions one goes through when facing heartbreak. The lyrics start with the artist describing how he usually sings about life, but today he can't to do so because his heart is filled with sorrow. He then reveals that he is trying to cope with the sadness by loving everything around him, but it only offers limited help. Throughout the song, he acknowledges the inevitability of time passing and things eventually getting better, but he still laments the loss and pain of his loved one's departure. The mood of the song is extremely emotional and heartfelt, and its melody and lyrics truly capture the rawness of heartbreak.

The first verse describes how the artist is normally able to express himself through music and singing. But, on this particular day, he is unable to vocalize his emotions because all he feels is sadness due to the departure of his lover. In the second verse, the lyrics describe how the artist's attempt to find solace in loving everything around him does not alleviate his feelings of sorrow. He recognizes that everything is temporary and eventually all pain will pass with time, but it is hard to accept that he is now alone. The chorus is a melancholy sweet spot of the song, where he acknowledges the reality that his loved one is leaving but he is aware that everything will pass and, in time, he will be able to forget and move on. The final verse describes his feelings of pain, with no escape from emotion even if he tries to hide and mask it.
