It's been two years and a day that I've lived without him

It's been two years and a day that I haven't seen him again

And even though I haven't been happy, I learned to live without his love

But while I was forgetting, suddenly one night he came back

Who is it?

What are you coming to look for?

It's already late

Because now I'm the one that wants to be without you

So go, forget my name, my face, my house

And turn around

Go, forget my eyes, my hands, my lips

that don't want you

Go, forget that I exist, that you met me

And don't be surprised

Forget everything, because you're the one that has experience at that

In search of emotions one day I left

From a world of sensations that I didn't find

And when I discovered that it was all a big fantasy, I came back

Because I understood that I wanted the things that live in you

Goodbye

There's nothing else to talk about

Goodbye

Because now I'm the one that wants to be without you

So go, forget my name, my face, my house

And turn around

Go, forget my eyes, my hands, my lips

that don't want you

Go, forget that I exist, that you met me

And don't be surprised

Forget everything, because you're the one that has experience at that

So go, forget my name, my face, my house

And turn around

Go, forget my eyes, my hands, my lips

that don't want you

Go, forget that I exist, that you met me

And don't be surprised

Forget everything, because you for that

have experience

pega la vuelta — turn around and leave

Pega la vuelta is a dramatic and forceful Spanish idiom. While it literally translates to something like "hit the turn" or "stick the turn," it's a powerful command that means "turn around and leave," or more strongly, "get out and don't come back."

In this iconic break-up anthem, the singer uses this phrase to emphatically reject her ex-lover who has returned after a long absence. It's the core message of the song, packing a punch of finality and telling him to go back exactly the way he came.

This song is a full-on soap opera scene set to music! A man shows up at his ex-girlfriend's door after being gone for "Hace dos años y un día" [Two years and a day]. He explains he left "En busca de emociones" [In search of emotions] but discovered it was all "una gran fantasía" [a great fantasy]. Now he's back, realizing he wants the things he left behind with her.

She is not having it. At all. Instead of a happy reunion, he gets the door slammed in his face. She tells him it's too late because "ahora soy yo la que quiere estar sin ti" [now I'm the one who wants to be without you]. The chorus is a powerful list of commands for him to get lost: "vete, olvida mi nombre, mi cara, mi casa / Y pega la vuelta" [go, forget my name, my face, my house / And turn around]. She ends with a final, savage burn, telling him to forget everything, because "tú para eso tienes experiencia" [you have experience with that].
