Bye Bye Amor
Los Rancheros Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Caminando calle abajo,
Cara a cara la encontré.
Nunca supe bien su nombre,
Tampoco le pregunté.

Pasamos la noche juntos
En la casa del francés.
Y le dije que la amaba,
Se rió de mí y se fue.

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye amor.
Bye, bye, bye amor.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye amor.
Bye, bye, bye amor.

No recuerdo si me dijo
Trabajar en un café.
La busqué por todos lados,
Caminé por Santa Fe.

Confundido, abrumado
Me metí en un cabaret.
Y rodé por la escalera,
Nunca supe bien porqué.

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye amor.
Bye, bye, bye amor.
Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye amor.
Bye, bye, bye amor.

Tus blancas piernas vi
Correr por el jardín.
Tus labios tan azules,
Están puestos en mí.

Y ahora dónde iré,
Qué pasos seguiré.
Desaparecer para parecer.

Es un juego nada más,
Sé ganar, sé perder.
Sólo quiero no volver
A encontrar a esa mujer.

Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye amor.
Bye, bye, bye amor.




Bye, bye, bye, bye, bye amor.
Bye, bye, bye amor.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Rancheros's song Bye-Bye Amor tell the story of a lost love, a woman who the singer met by chance on the street and spent a night with. He admits that he never knew her name and didn't ask for it. After spending the night together at a friend's house, the singer confesses his love for her, but she laughs and leaves him. The chorus repeats "bye, bye amor" four times, emphasizing the idea that she is gone forever.


The singer then spends a long time searching for the woman, even going so far as to walk around the city and visit a cabaret, where he falls down a staircase for unclear reasons. He reminisces about her white legs and blue lips before concluding that he wants to forget about her entirely - even though he can't seem to get her out of his head. The final lines of the song suggest that he sees this as a game and that he knows how to win and lose, but ultimately, he just wants to move on and avoid finding her again.


Overall, the lyrics of Bye-Bye Amor capture the sense of loss and confusion that can come with ending a brief, intense relationship, as well as the desire to forget and move on despite lingering feelings.
