Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Sin embargo, te deseo lo mejor
Si en mí no encontraste felicidad
Tal vez alguien más te la dará
Como la flor (como la flor)
Con tanto amor (con tanto amor)
Me diste tú
Me marcho hoy
Yo sé perder
Pero ah-ah-ay, cómo me duele
Ah-ah-ay, cómo me duele
Si vieras cómo duele perder tu amor
Con tu adiós, te llevas mi corazón
No sé si pueda volver a amar
Porque te di todo el amor que pude dar
Como la flor (como la flor)
Con tanto amor (con tanto amor)
Me diste tú
Se marchitó
Me marcho hoy
Yo sé perder
Pero, ah-ah-ay, cómo me duele
Ah-ah-ay, cómo me duele
Como la flor (como la flor)
Con tanto amor (con tanto amor)
Me diste tú
Se marchitó
Me marcho hoy
Yo sé perder
Pero ah-ah-ay, cómo me duele
Ah-ah-ay, cómo me duele
Ah-ah-ay, cómo me duele
The song "Como La Flor" by Selena is a heart-wrenching ballad about the pain of losing a love. In the first verse, Selena acknowledges that her former lover has moved on with someone else, but she still wishes him the best. She also implies that she was not able to give him the happiness that he sought, and suggests that someone else may be able to fulfill that role. The chorus serves as a metaphor, where Selena compares her former love to a flower that was given to her with so much love, but has now withered and died. The metaphor represents the journey of love, where it started out with passion and care, but eventually lost its vitality and died away.
In the second verse, Selena expresses the pain and heartbreak of losing her lover. She tells him that he has taken her heart with him through his departure, and she is unsure if she will be able to love again. She also notes that she gave him all the love she had to give, but it was not enough to sustain the relationship. The chorus repeats, emphasizing the metaphor of the flower that has wilted away.
Overall, the song serves as a reminder of the fragility of love and the pain that comes with losing it. Selena’s powerful voice and emotional delivery of the lyrics make it an unforgettable piece of music.

This is a very unpoetic almost word for word translation:
I know you have a new love
Even so, I wish you the best
If you never found happiness with me
Maybe someone else might be able to give it to you
Chorus
*Like a flower, given with so much love,
Like you gave me, it also wilts
I'll leave now, I know how to lose
But oh, how it hurts
Oh, how it hurts*
If you only knew how much
It hurts to lose your love
And with your goodbye
You take my heart with you
I don't know if I'll ever
Be able to love again
Because I gave you
All the love I had in me
Repeat Chorus
