Vuelve Por Favor (Come Back, Please)
Sabes que te quiero
Y estar sin ti no puedo
Me muero sin ti
Si no estás aquí
you know I love you
and I can't be without you
I die without you
if you're not here

Get ready for a song packed with emotion! "Vuelve Por Favor" (which means "Come Back, Please") is a powerful and direct plea from someone who is heartbroken. The singer makes his feelings crystal clear from the very beginning: "sabes que te quiero y estar sin ti no puedo" (You know that I love you and I can't be without you). He feels like he's dying without his loved one and describes their absence as an unbearable "punishment."

Throughout the song, the singer is haunted by memories, constantly thinking of his lost love's kisses and feeling their presence. He repeats his desperate request for them to return, promising that he is still waiting. In a powerful twist, he declares that if his love isn't with him, then "El amor es mi enemigo" (Love is my enemy). For him, love isn't a beautiful thing anymore; it's the source of all his pain.

Adiós Adiós (Goodbye Goodbye)
El de Mañana comienza a hacer otro no
Vale la pena que sufra por ti pues me
Desprecias Cada vez te quieres y De nada
Vale lo que yo te di me de negar que

It is worth suffering for you because I
despise Every time you love yourself and You're welcome
Worth what I gave you to deny that

"Adiós Adiós" is a powerful song about making a difficult but necessary decision: ending a painful relationship. The singer feels completely unappreciated by his partner, saying, "it's not worth suffering for you because you despise me." He realizes that everything he has given has meant nothing and that staying will only lead to more pain.

Although he knows it will be incredibly hard to get the person out of his *"soul and heart,"

He's clearly hurt, saying his feelings are "abandonados como tú en el viaje" [abandoned like you on the journey]. He remembers a time when "todo era perfecto" [everything was perfect] when they were together, but now he feels betrayed.

He's done with the games, telling her directly, "yo ya no te quiero, te amo, riesgo y lárgate de aquí" [I don't want you anymore, I love you, risk and get out of here]. It's a blunt dismissal, showing he's ready to move on. He even thanks God that his "corazón era de vientos" [heart was of winds], implying it can't be held down forever, and that this pain won't last. He's clear that he wouldn't have done what she did, and now, a part of him is "muriendo" [dying] because of it.

Vagabundo (Vagabond)
Hace tiempo nadie sabe de mí depende me
Desaparecí sin ganas de nada me pierdo
En las madrugadas sin saber a dónde ir

I disappeared without wanting anything I get lost
in the early mornings not knowing where to go
you left me he was my disaster that

He describes her leaving as "él fue mi desastre" [that was my disaster], waking up one morning and she wasn't there.

He's trying to cope by drinking, saying "pierdo en el alcohol porque te quiero" [I get lost in alcohol because I love you]. He feels like a "corazón sin sangre" [heart without blood] and is overcome with sadness and depression. He even calls himself a "vagabundo" [vagabond], someone she rejected. It's a really raw look at how heartbreak can make you feel completely abandoned and without a purpose.

A Traves Del Vaso (Through the Glass)
Quisiera morirme de una buena peda
Porque esto de amarte me trajo problemas
A través del vaso ya miro tu cara

He's at the cantina, staring into his drink, and guess what? "A través del vaso ya miro tu cara" [Through the glass, I already see your face] – he just can't get her out of his head! He's torn between wanting to run to her and then remembering the pain, saying, "Fue la decepción más grande que he tenido" [It was the biggest disappointment I've ever had]. He even asks the bartender, "¿A los cuántos tragos me olvido de ella?" [After how many drinks do I forget her?]. Ouch! It's a powerful look at how hard it is to move on when someone you loved deeply betrays you, especially when they "me cambió por unas monedas" [changed me for some coins] and now wants to come back. But he's firm: "Hoy quiere volver, mejor que no vuelva" [Today she wants to come back, better that she doesn't].

Y yo te vi yo te vi no me dije

The singer confronts someone who hurt them deeply, repeating, "y yo te vi yo te vi no me dije miedo yo lo que me hiciste" [and I saw you, I saw you, I didn't say fear, what you did to me]. It's clear this person's actions caused significant pain, and the singer is still reeling from it.

Despite the hurt, there's a strong sense of defiance and a refusal to forgive. The singer declares, "pero yo no creo que te perdone puedo ser muy no de locura" [but I don't think I'll forgive you, I can be very not crazy]. They are certain that the person who caused them suffering will eventually pay for it, saying, "sé que vas a llorar a mi sufrimiento algún regalo pagarás mismo premiando algún día lo pagará" [I know you're going to cry for my suffering, some gift you'll pay for, rewarding it someday you'll pay for it]. It's a raw and honest look at the desire for justice after being wronged.

De tanto amarte me olvidé de mi
De tanto amarte me perdí
