Verse 1

I've nothing more left

In this context: I have no other choice now

Than lose myself in an abyss of sadness and tears

I've nothing more left

Than endure well my defeat and toast you happiness

Or: Than to bear my loss gracefully and wish you happiness

I've nothing more left

If your return today would be an impossibility

Or: If you returning today is impossible

And this that was not love

Or: And this (love) that (you say) was not love

That you deny today, what you say that never happened

Or: (Our love) that you deny, and say that it never happened

It's the sweetest memory of my life

Chorus 1

I had a hope

Deep in my soul

Lit: In the bottom of my soul. Similar to the English: from the bottom of my heart

That one day you'd stay with me

And I still had a hope

Or: And I was still keeping an illusion / dream / hope

That fed the heart

Or: Which was feeding my heart

My heart that today has to see you as only a friend

And although I lived in love

And totally mistaken

It doesn't matter to me

Or: I don't care / I don't mind

Because this yes was love

Or: Because this really was love

For my part, the most beautiful

Or: For me, the most beautiful

The greatest love

And although you always renounce it, for me

Or: And even if you'll always turn your back on it

It was the most beautiful

Chorus 2

I had a hope

Deep in my soul

That one day you'd stay with me

And I still had a hope

That fed the heart

My heart that today has to see you as only a friend

And although I lived in love

And totally mistaken

It doesn't matter to me

Because this yes was love

For my part, the most beautiful

The greatest love

And although you always renounce it, for me

It was the most beautiful

SONG MEANING

Selena’s classic Cumbia ballad "No Me Queda Más" dives head-first into the bittersweet moment when love slips away. The singer accepts that her dream of being with the person she adores is over, so she chooses the only paths left: tears, memories, and a brave smile for the one who broke her heart. Even though the other person denies the romance ever existed, the narrator treasures it as the sweetest chapter of her life. The upbeat Cumbia rhythm keeps listeners dancing, yet the lyrics unfold a story of quiet surrender and unshakable devotion.

At its core, the song celebrates unconditional love. Selena’s voice confesses that she was “totally mistaken” about the future of the relationship, but she still calls it the greatest love she has ever known. She lets go, wishes happiness to her former partner, and lowers her expectations from soul mate to just a friend, proving that real love sometimes means cheering from the sidelines. The mix of lively percussion and heartfelt words creates a soundtrack for anyone who has had to smile through goodbye while holding on to beautiful memories.
