Para Decir Adiós
José Feliciano Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tengo algo que decirte que tu debes saber
Es cierto que te amaba, no me arrepiento
Pero el amor escapa y ya no ha de volver
No quiero que te afanes pensando que tal vez
Tu logres que me quede a tu lado
Prefiero no mentirte, ya nada puedo hacer
Para decir adiós vida mía
Y te estaré por siempre agradecido
Me acordaré de ti algún día
Para decir adiós solo tienes que decirlo
Comprendo por mi parte, tu triste decisión
Y aunque el corazón lo tengo herido
Si no puedo tenerte, entonces pues adiós
No podemos fingir, cuando el amor se ha ido
No quiero que te afanes, pensando que tal vez
Yo en ti logre que me quede a tu lado
Guardemos el recuerdo de la primera vez
Del amor que ambos hemos dado
Para decir adiós vida mía
Y te estaré por siempre agradecido
Me acordaré de ti algún día
Para decir adiós solo tienes que decirlo
The song "Para Decir Adiós" by José Feliciano is a heart-wrenching plea of a man to his lover to sit down with him, so he can tell her that their love has ended. He tells her that he loved her deeply, but love, like a bird, escapes and cannot be caught. He does not want her to worry that she can change his mind, as he has already made up his decision. He wishes to remember the love that they shared, but he must bid goodbye now, and she only has to say it.
The man acknowledges the woman's decision to end the relationship, and though he is heartbroken, he cannot pretend that everything will be okay. He tells her not to worry about making him stay, as he cannot be with her if she does not want to be with him. Instead, they should cherish the memories of their love and the intimacy they shared.
