to me

why did you leave happy and returned

crying

it seems that another

has done you no good

the sadness on your face is noticeable

distressed, so that you would return

it's lost

you wanted to dominate me when you saw I was very

yours, what did you do so that out of pride you

would reach the clouds

now, now he who has them can fly alone

I'm going to tell you now, you have the one who rises

you who were walking on the clouds, who

gave your wings, that today you go on the ground

your arrogance came down and here you'll see

what's bad and what's good

how hard was the forgetting, what emptiness in my

chest

you thought that only I was losing

you're already realizing

there's scorn

your leaving

this is so you see that I'm not a

toy

even if I bet my life, the most

beautiful thing

but your vanity

led you to lose yourself, it was said that I always am

so necessary to my wife, you who were walking

for giving us, who gave your wings, that today

is on the ground

your eyes dropped and here you'll see

what's bad and what's good

humos — airs / pride

Humos literally means "smokes" or "fumes." However, in the context of this song and common Spanish idioms, "se te bajaron los humos" is a colloquial expression meaning "your airs came down" or "you've been brought down a peg."

It refers to someone who was once arrogant or full of themselves, but has now faced a humbling experience. The song uses this phrase to tell a person who left proudly but returned defeated that their arrogance has vanished, and they are now seeing reality.

Darío Gómez's "Se Te Bajaron Los Humos" is a powerful song about a person who once thought they were better than everyone else, but now they're facing the consequences of their arrogance. The singer is blunt, asking, "por qué saliste alegre y volviste llorando?" [why did you leave happy and come back crying?]. It's clear that the person who left with such confidence has returned defeated, and the singer isn't holding back on saying, "se nota la tristeza de tu rostro angustiado" [the sadness on your anguished face is noticeable].

This song is a real wake-up call for someone who tried to dominate the singer, believing they were too good for them. The lyrics, "quisiste dominar me al ver que era muy tuyo que hiciste que por orgullo te llevará las nubes" [you wanted to dominate me, seeing that I was very much yours, you made pride carry you to the clouds], really hit home. Now, the tables have turned, and the singer delivers the ultimate truth: "tú que andabas por las nubes quien y dios tus alas que hoy vas por el suelo se te bajaron los humos" [you who walked among the clouds, who gave you your wings, today you walk on the ground, your arrogance has come down]. It's a satisfying moment of karma, showing that humility is a lesson learned the hard way.
