Qué Ironía Lyrics in English Alejandra Guzmán
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Qué Ironía by Alejandra Guzmán from Spanish to English.
Cuántas mentiras supiste vestir con sonrisas
How many lies you knew how to dress with smiles
Cuántas caricias vacías pues más de un millón
How many empty caresses, more than a million
Sin salida
No way out
Qué ironía
What irony
Extrañar tu olor
To miss your smell
Y sin medida te di la vida
And immeasurably I gave you my life
Melancolía de tu voz
Melancholy of your voice
Una agonía fue tu partida
Your leaving was an agony
Quedó la sombra de los dos, de los dos
The shadow of the two of us remained, of the two of us
Siempre soñando despierta con algo mejor
Always daydreaming of something better
Miles de rostros ausentes a mi alrededor
Thousands of absent faces around me
Pasa el tiempo y no encuentro donde está el error
Time passes and I don't find where the mistake is
Y sin medida te di la vida
And immeasurably I gave you my life
Melancolía de tu voz
Melancholy of your voice
Una agonía fue tu partida
Your leaving was an agony
Quedo la sombra de los dos
The shadow of the two of us remained
Y sería mejor si me alejo
And it'd be better if I leave
Pero quiero envolverme en tus besos
But I want to wrap myself in your kisses
Una noche tan sólo robarnos amor
Just one night to steal our love
Y sin medida darte la vida melancolía de tu voz
And immeasurably to give you my life, melancholy of your voice
Una agonía fue tu partida
Your leaving was an agony
Se quedó la sombra de los dos
The shadow of the two of us remained
De los dos
Of the two of us

ironía — irony
Ironía translates directly to "irony". It's a compelling word that immediately hints at a deeper, more complex emotional narrative within the song.
In "Qué Ironía," Alejandra Guzmán uses this word to express the bitter paradox of her feelings. She sings, "Qué ironía / Extrañar tu olor," highlighting the ironic pain of missing someone who caused her so much suffering. This word perfectly encapsulates the song's theme of conflicting emotions and lingering attachment despite a painful past.
