Despedida
Manu Chao & Fermin Muguruza Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ya me he olvidado de ti
Hoy me despido de tu ausencia
Ya estoy en paz
Ya no te espero, ya no te llamo
Ya no me engaño
Hoy te he borrado de mi paciencia
Desde aquel día en que te fuiste
Yo no sabía qué hacer de ti
Ya están domados mis sentimientos
Mejor así
Hoy me he burlado de la tristeza
Hoy me he librado de tu recuerdo
Ya no te extraño, ya me he arrancado
Ya estoy en paz
Se acabó, se acabó, se acabó
Oh, se acabó, oh, se acabó
Se acabó, se acabó, se acabó
Ya estoy curado, anestesiado
Ya me he olvidado
Oh, se acabó, oh, se acabó
Se acabó, se acabó, se acabó
Ya estoy curado, anestesiado
Ya me he olvidado
Oh, se acabó, oh, se acabó (te espero siempre, mi amor)
Se acabó, se acabó, se acabó
Oh, se acabó, oh, se acabó (cada hora, cada día)
Se acabó, se acabó, se acabó (te espero siempre, mi amor)
Oh, se acabó, oh, se acabó (cada minuto que yo viva)
Se acabó, se acabó, se acabó
Te espero siempre, mi amor
Sé que un día llegará
Te espero siempre, mi amor
Cada hora, cada día
Te espero siempre, mi amor
Cada minuto que yo viva
Te espero siempre, mi amor
No me olvido y te quiero
Te espero siempre, mi amor
Sé que un día, volverás
The opening lyrics of Manu Chao's La Despedida suggest that the singer has finally healed from a past relationship and is able to move on. The repetition of "ya estoy curado, anestesiado" roughly translates to "I am cured, anesthetized", suggesting that the pain of the breakup is no longer felt. The singer has forgotten about their past lover and is saying goodbye to their absence, finally at peace with the situation. The next line, "Ya no te espero, ya no te llamo" means "I no longer wait for you, I no longer call you." The singer has stopped deceiving themselves with false hope and is ready to move on.
The song continues to reflect on the past relationship, with the line "Desde aquel día en que te fuiste, yo no sabía qué hacer de ti" which translates to "Since the day you left, I didn't know what to make of you." But ultimately, the singer has tamed their feelings and is now free from the burden of longing for this person. This is most evident in the line "Hoy me he burlado de la tristeza, hoy me he librado de tu recuerdo" which means "Today I have mocked sadness, today I have freed myself from your memory."
Overall, La Despedida is a song about the process of healing from a relationship and moving on. While there are remnants of sadness and longing, the singer ultimately finds peace in letting go.
