CRUZ DE OLVIDO Lyrics in English Becky G

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song CRUZ DE OLVIDO by Becky G from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
With the sunset
I'll leave from here
I'll leave without you
I'll move away from you
With a pain inside me
I swear to you, babe
that it's not lack of love
But it's better this way
One day you'll understand
that I did it for your good
that everything was for you
The boat I'll leave in
carries a cross of oblivion
carries a cross of love
And on that cross without you
I'll die of weariness
I won't be guilty
that you might cry because of me
It'll be better to leave
I'd rather this than hurt you
I know that I'll suffer
My ship will cross a sea of loneliness
Goodbye, goodbye, my love
Remember that I loved you
that I'll always love you
The boat I'll leave in
carries a cross of oblivion
carries a cross of love
And on that cross without you
I'll die of weariness

SONG MEANING

Cruz de Olvido paints the bittersweet picture of a love so deep that the singer is willing to walk away in order to protect the one she adores. As the sun sets, she boards a symbolic boat marked with a “cross of oblivion” and a “cross of love,” knowing that distancing herself is kinder than staying and causing pain. This dramatic farewell is not a denial of love; it is a sacrifice, a promise that her feelings will remain even while she sails into loneliness.

In these heartfelt verses, Becky G blends her Mexican-American roots with a classic ranchera theme: love mixed with honor and resignation. The steady rhythm feels like oars dipping into water, and every line shows the tug-of-war between passion and duty. By choosing departure over damage, the narrator transforms heartbreak into an act of devotion, reminding listeners that sometimes the greatest proof of love is letting go.
