Ojalá
Thalia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Las cosas pasan porque tienen que pasar
¿Cómo le explicas eso a un corazón herido?
Que no ha dejado ni un segundo de extrañar
Que se niega a verlo todo tan vacío

Me fui acostumbrando a la miel de tu mirar
A tu querer, tu respirar
Me diste el cielo y ahora me lo vienes a quitar

Dime por que, ¿Por qué te vas?

Quiera Dios que en tu camino
Encuentres otra mujer
Que te quiera como yo
Ojala te vaya bien!
Quiera Dios tu nueva reina
También se rinda a tus pies
Que te cuide, que te entienda
Ojala te vaya bien.
Ojala! Ojala! Ojala! Te vaya bien
Ojala! Ojala! Ojala! Te vaya bien

Las cosas pasan por que tienen que pasar
Que fácil es decirlo por consuelo
Dime porque si me llevabas a volar
Hoy me dejas con las alas en el suelo

Me fui acostumbrando a la miel de tu mirar
A tu querer, tu respirar
Me diste el cielo y ahora me lo vienes a quitar
Dime por que, ¿Por qué te vas?

Quiera Dios que en tu camino
Encuentres otra mujer
Que te quiera como yo
Ojala te vaya bien!
Quiera Dios tu nueva reina
También se rinda a tus pies
Que te cuide, que te entienda
Ojala te vaya bien.
Ojala! Ojala! Ojala! Te vaya bien
Ojala! Ojala! Ojala! Te vaya bien

Ojala te vaya bonito
Ojala te vaya bien
Y que encuentre en tu camino
Quien te sepa comprender
Ojala tu nueva reina
También se rinda a tus pies
Que te quiera, que te entienda
Ojala te vaya bien

Ojala! Ojala! Ojala! Te vaya bien
Ojala! Ojala! Ojala! Te vaya bien

Overall Meaning

In Thalia's song Ojalá, the lyrics speak about the pain and heartbreak of losing a loved one. The first verse speaks about how things happen because they have to happen, but how do you explain that to a broken heart that can't stop missing what was lost? The singer has become accustomed to the sweetness of their loved one's gaze, their love, and even their breath. The loved one had given them heaven, and now they are taking it away, leaving the singer to ask why they have to go.

The chorus then transitions to a tinge of hope, as the singer wishes that the loved one finds someone who can love them as they did. They hope that the loved one's new partner will also understand them and take care of them, mirroring what the singer had given them. The second verse then talks about the difficulty of letting go, and how easy it is for others to say that things happen for a reason. The singer is left with their wings clipped, unable to fly to the heights they once did with their loved one.

The final chorus reiterates the hope that the loved one finds someone who can understand and love them like the singer did. They hope that their new partner also falls for them, takes care of them, and understands them. The repetition of the word 'Ojalá' implies a deeper prayer, hoping that the loved one finds happiness and peace in their life going forward. The song ultimately looks at the painful side of love, acknowledging how difficult it is to let go, but also holding onto hope that the loved one can find another person to love and be loved by.
