Quiero Pero No Lyrics in English Amaia , Rojuu

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quiero Pero No by Amaia from Spanish to English.
Today I'm going to tidy my room
I'm going to hide my heart
In a corner of the room and nobody will be able to find it
No, your opinion doesn't interest me
I'm going to bury every emotion
In a secret place where you don't have access
Chorus 1
I want to see you but I can't
It mustn't happen
I want to see you but I can't
It mustn't happen
No! I want to see you but I can't, I can't
It mustn't happen
I want to see you but I can't
Verse 1
Thinking about you is leaving me tired
It weakens me and I can't anymore
What sh*t that I can't forget you
I don't want to know what has become of you or when you'll get here
I've tried everything, it was useless
I'm seeing people with your face everywhere
I'm going to the psychiatrist so that he leaves me numb
Or I'm going to go completely crazy
I want to ask you a favor
That you ignore me and I
Buy myself a plane ticket
Finally leave
Far from here
What's going to become of me?
Chorus 2
I want to see you but I can't
It mustn't happen
I want to see you but I can't
It mustn't happen
I want to see you but I can't
It mustn't happen
I want to see you but I can't
Today I'm going to tidy my room
I'm going to hide my heart
In a corner of the room and nobody will be able to find it
No, your opinion doesn't interest me
I'm going to bury every emotion
In a secret place where you don't have access
I can't
I want to see you but I can't

SONG MEANING

“Quiero Pero No” is a bittersweet confession wrapped in indie-pop melancholy. Amaia and Rojuu trade lines like two friends stuck in the same heartbreak spiral: they desperately want to see the person who broke their hearts, yet they know that giving in would only reopen the wound. The song paints vivid scenes of emotional self-defense — tidying a bedroom to hide the heart in a dark corner, digging a secret hole for every lingering feeling, even daydreaming about a plane ticket that flies the pain far away. Every chorus repeats the tug-of-war between desire and reason: “Quiero verte, pero no puedo… no debe pasar.”

Under the catchy melody, the lyrics capture the exhausting loop of obsession. Thinking about the ex drains all energy, familiar faces morph into painful reminders, and the only escape seems to be therapy or total geographic distance. It is a raw, relatable snapshot of how messy love can turn everyday life upside down, even as we resolve to move on. In short, this track is the soundtrack to that moment when you slam the emotional door shut, then keep peeking through the keyhole hoping you do not actually see anyone on the other side.
