Que te pasó
Merche Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Fue bonito darte el corazón
Fue bonito mientras que duro
Y aunque pude imaginarme el fin
No hice caso y aposte por ti

Y ahora en frío pienso lo que fuimos
No se realmente que tuvimos
Nunca te dejaste conocer

Y jamás sabre por qué
Me tuve que marchar
Y tu me ibas a esperar
Tu me ibas a esperar

Qué te pasó
Todo se te olvidó
Solo nos dimos tiempo
Y ya tienes otro amo-o-o-o-or!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Y qué fui yo?
Solo una distracción
Tu amor no fue sincero
Solo te quise yo-o-o-o-o-o!
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Y por mas que lo pienso no se qué te pasó

Y yo quiero que te vaya bien
Vive la vida y cuídate.
Y si alguna vez piensas en mí
Que el recuerdo sea feliz.
Me tuve que marchar
Y tú me ibas a esperar
Tu me ibas a esperar

Qué te pasó
Todo se te olvidó
Solo nos dimos tiempo
Y ya tienes otro amo-o-o-o-or!
Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh oh
Y qué fui yo?
Solo una distracción
Tu amor no fue sincero
Solo te quise yo-o-o-o-o-o!
Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Y por mas que lo pienso no se qué te pasó

Oh oh oh oh oh
Oh oh oh
Y por mas que lo pienso no se qué te pasó

Qué te pasó
Todo se te olvido
Solo nos dimos tiempo
Y ya tienes otro amor
Y qué fui yo?
Solo una distracción
Tu amor no fue sincero
Solo te quise yo-o-o-o-o-o!

Oh oh oh oh oh

Oh oh oh
Y por mas que lo pienso no se qué te pasó

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Merche's song "Que te pasó" convey the emotional aftermath of a failed relationship. The opening stanza reflects on the initial euphoria of falling in love and giving one's heart to someone, despite knowing the relationship may not last. The singer reveals she took a chance and bet on her partner, but the relationship ultimately failed. As the singer reflects on their past together, she admits to never truly getting to know her partner, and now, she may never understand why their relationship failed.

The chorus of the song is the singer's lament, as she cannot comprehend why her partner forgot about their time together, moved on so quickly to another love, and never truly loved her. The singer is aware that she was merely a temporary distraction for her partner, and her love was not genuine, in contrast to the singer's unconditional love. The singer wishes her ex-partner well and hopes that their memories of their relationship will be happy ones. The song's melancholic melody and the emotive vocals of Merche provide a haunting backdrop to the song's sorrowful lyrics.
