Like wanting and not
It kept fading
Your affection slowly
Like wanting and not
Now your gaze
I found it very absent
I don't know what happened
But I'd like
That you'd say what you feel
I don't know what happened to me
I put my heart
But it went straight ahead
Like wanting and not, she left
Like wanting and not, I stayed
Like wanting and not, with intention
And death left me
Like wanting and not, she abandoned me
Like wanting and not, she split me in two
I hope that out there sometime
That you get good luck
Like wanting and not
It kept fading
Your affection slowly
I don't know what happened to me
I put my heart
But it went straight ahead
Like wanting and not, she left
Like wanting and not, I stayed
Like wanting and not, with intention
And death left me
Like wanting and not, she abandoned me
Like wanting and not, she split me in two
I hope that out there sometime
That you get good luck

SONG MEANING

Como Queriendo Y No tells the story of a love that dissolves little by little, almost as if both people were unsure whether they truly wanted to hold on or let go. Alex Fernández sings from the perspective of the person who stayed, watching affection fade from his partner’s eyes until she finally leaves. The repeated phrase “como queriendo y no” (roughly “as if wanting to and not”) paints a picture of hesitation: she seems to love him, yet her actions betray a quiet decision to walk away. Each verse echoes that slow drift—her gaze grows distant, his heart stays committed, and the gap between them widens until it breaks him “en dos” (in two).

Despite the heartbreak, the song carries a touch of graciousness. While he mourns the “death” of their relationship, he still wishes her “buena suerte” (good luck) wherever she goes. This bittersweet goodbye wrapped in tender ranchera-pop melodies makes the track feel both personal and universally relatable, reminding listeners that sometimes love ends not with a loud crash but with a soft, uncertain step toward the door.
