Intro
I go without knowing
Without your love
How to deal with so much pain
Once more, turn off the lights
And sing with me so I forget the farewell
Verse 1
Now I go without knowing, without loving because I lost you
The blood runs in my hands with rage for being born
The wolf in me will take revenge
And sing with me so I forget the farewell
Stop feeding the beast
Broken piece of man on earth portrait
Cursed, drunk I scream it seems a lie
I get down from stars I beg you that you can forgive one day
I know that I can't continue like this anymore
Killing them is what I can do for you
And it's that in every cruel corner I cry for the farewell
My love has saved me
And the taste of being by your side
It's like the sea flowing inside
And it will never sing the pain of being who I am
Of being who I am
Chorus 2
I go without knowing
Without your love
How to deal with so much pain
Once more, turn off the lights
And sing with me so I forget the farewell
And sing with me so I forget the farewell
And sing with me so I forget the farewell
And sing with me so I forget the farewell
Chorus 3
I go without knowing
Without your love
How to deal with so much pain
Once more, turn off the lights
And sing with me so I forget the farewell
And sing with me so I forget the farewell
And sing with me so I forget the farewell

SONG MEANING

La Despedida plunges listeners into the raw moment right after a breakup, when the heart still staggers under fresh wounds. Alejandro Sanz paints that hurt with vivid images: blood rushing with anger, a wolf inside ready for revenge, and a desperate need to switch off the lights and sing just to forget the goodbye. The chorus becomes a coping ritual - every time he repeats "Y canta conmigo así me olvido de la despedida" he is begging music to drown out the echo of loss.

Yet beneath the rage and sorrow glimmers a stubborn hope. Sanz admits he feels “roto” - broken - but the memory of love, “el sabor de estar a tu lado,” flows through him like the sea and shows a path to forgiveness. The song balances darkness and light: the impulse to lash out versus the wish to be saved by love’s lingering warmth. In just a few minutes, Sanz turns a painful farewell into an anthem of catharsis, reminding us that even in the deepest hurt, singing together can help heal the soul.
