Dejarte ir
QBO Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Por un instante
vi mi sangre recorrer
todo mi cuerpo en un segundo
y no lo pude detener

No pude evitar
dejarte ir
es lo mejor
por ti

Pude callarme
pero es muy tarde ya
mi alma puede que se calme
pero no puedo mas

Con esta inmensa soledad que asfixia

No pude evitar
dejarte ir
es tarde ya
por mi

Con esta inmensa soledad que asfixia

No puedo evitar
dejarte ir
es lo mejor
por ti

no pude evitar
dejarte ir
es tarde ya




tarde ya
por mi

Overall Meaning

The song "Dejarte ir" by QBO describes the painful experience of letting go of a loved one. The lyrics speak of a moment of overwhelming emotion where the singer feels his blood coursing through his veins, but ultimately recognizes that he must let go for the other person's benefit. This decision was not made lightly, but rather out of concern for the other person's well-being. In that moment, the singer realizes that he cannot continue to hold on and must instead accept the pain of separation.


The following verse speaks of the aftermath of the separation. Although the singer may have wanted to keep the relationship alive, it's now too late. The soul may eventually find peace, but the singer cannot hold on any longer. The emotion here is one of resignation and acceptance. The final verse reiterates this point, that letting go is the best course of action for the other person and that the singer must accept the situation for what it is.
