if you come to look if I give it all to you

puritita my life and a little more than

both once I with my heart neither

you even gave him a little bit of

breathing

every child it's too late to try

fix what is already dead

and it's too late because it has a name

name is tradition it's too late

because I believed you the love of my life and I

I was wrong to cry in just one

I'll get up for a while and it's already too late

try to fix what already died

although it is too late because it has a name

his name is very late english tradition

because I believed you the love of my life and I

I was wrong well crying is just a

little while and get up to get up

and

so once they are with a heart

I didn't even tell him this one bit

breathing

And it's too late to try to fix what

He already died, it's too late because he has

name his name is tradition is already very

late because I believed you the love of my life

and I would be wrong we will last in the

adventure i will rise and rise

and there are people there and never hit

further

I changed the course of my life

I don't belong in this place, let alone

if you are there and here there is life and not

never come back I change the course of

my life not for having exposed the threshold

it's too late to try to fix it

that he already died and it's too late because he has

name his name is treason and it is already very

late because I believed you in death my

life and I was wrong wants to cry is

just a little while and it has lifted me up in

neglecting to try to fix it

that already died

It's too late because it has a name

name is treason and it's too late

because I believed you the love of my life and I

burning

crying is only raising the new

audience

of life

traición — betrayal

Traición translates to "betrayal". It's a strong, emotionally charged word that immediately conveys a sense of deep hurt and disappointment.

In "Ya Es Muy Tarde," Olga Tañón repeatedly uses this word to describe the core reason for the relationship's demise. She sings, "porque tiene nombre, su nombre es traición" (because it has a name, its name is betrayal), emphasizing that the pain she feels is a direct result of being betrayed. This makes it a central and impactful word in the song's narrative.

Olga Tañón's "Ya Es Muy Tarde" is a powerful anthem of moving on after a broken heart. Our singer is telling an ex-lover that it's too late for them to come back and try to fix things. She's blunt, saying, "si vienes a buscar si todo te lo entrego puritita mi vida y un poquito más de tanto una vez yo con mi corazón ni siquiera le diste un poquito de respiración" [if you come looking for me, if I gave you my whole life and a little more, so many times I gave you my heart, you didn't even give it a little bit of air].

She makes it clear that what they had is dead, and there's no bringing it back. "Ya es muy tarde tratar de arreglar lo que ya murió" [It's too late to try to fix what already died]. The reason? "Su nombre es traición" [Its name is betrayal]. She admits she thought he was the love of her life, but she was wrong. The good news is, she's not staying down for long! "Llorar es solamente un ratito y me levantaré" [Crying is only for a little while, and I will get up]. She's changed her path and won't go back to a place where he is. This song is all about reclaiming your life and saying goodbye to what no longer serves you.
