Ya Lo Sé Que Tú Te Vas Lyrics in English by Juan Gabriel

Hasta nunca is a highly dramatic phrase that literally translates to 'until never', serving as a permanent and heartbreaking farewell.

While beginners quickly learn common everyday greetings like hasta mañana (see you tomorrow), Juan Gabriel twists this familiar phrase at the end of the song to emphasize that his relationship is completely over. It is a beautifully tragic expression that perfectly captures the finality of a painful breakup.

This is a classic song from the great Mexican artist Juan Gabriel, and it gets straight to the point. The singer wakes up with a heavy heart, telling us, "Hoy me he despertado / Con mucha tristeza / Sabiendo que mañana / Ya te vas de mí" (Today I woke up / with great sadness / knowing that tomorrow / you are leaving me). He's spent the whole night awake, thinking about the end of his relationship, and now the dreaded day has arrived.

There's a feeling of finality throughout the song. He accepts what's happening, repeating, "Ya lo sé que tú te vas / Que quizás no volverás" (I already know you're leaving / that maybe you won't come back). He doesn't know when, or if, he'll ever see this person again. The song ends with a very direct and dramatic farewell: "Te deseo buena suerte / Hasta nunca / Mi amor" (I wish you good luck / Until never / My love). It's a simple but powerful expression of heartbreak.
