Diez Mil Porqués Lyrics in English Beret

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Diez Mil Porqués by Beret from Spanish to English.
Chorus 1
The point isn't seeing you again, but seeing how you come back
Whether it's worth losing myself now or not losing you, I don't know
If the stories are written by those that always win
We that have lost, what will we say
About that which killed but made us stronger
Like missing each other and then, to the face, ten thousand 'whys'
The best puzzles are the ones that don't fit but with time do
That's why my arms suit you well
And 'I don't know' was destiny's favorite answer
To kill us and not do us good
Since there is no worse path than not even knowing where to run
Nor worse breath than looking at you and seeing
That nothing is going to change
That you have to do what you must out of need
Even though what you want leaves
That you've spent half your life searching for your other half
To spend the other half trying to forget it
And everything goes, and comes, but much more goes away
That the things that stay forever aren't the material ones
That love isn't just doing it, it's just making us so we can love
That it's not depending on you, it's giving you my happiness
And of course I miss you, that's why I consider myself surplus
Of course fears kill me if you can't save me
Now I understand the 'forever' that you swore you would achieve
'Forever' was the memory, not the reality
If everything sums up in you I don't know if I want to write more
I'm still waiting for the day that makes up for all the harm
I prefer you say 'no' to 'I don't know, that'll be seen'
Because I don't know anything anymore, I only know that you'll fly
Chorus 2
The point isn't seeing you again, but seeing how you come back
Whether it's worth losing myself now or not losing you, I don't know
If the stories are written by those that always win
We that have lost, what will we say
About that which killed but made us stronger
Like missing each other and then, to the face, 'ten thousand whys'
The best puzzles are the ones that don't fit but with time do
That's why my arms suit you well
And I know that will make you freer
I know that I can't lock you up
I, who came into your cage to stay and live
Have started to hate your freedom
And I know that I'm lost but not losing
That's why I stay with myself a while longer
I'd call you luck but I believe in you
I don't want to know your plans, I just want to plan
Enough to shout silence down
The future will be drowning ourselves in everything we don't do
We don't think about what we are but about what the f*ck we will be
That's where the routine of shutting up with a thousand buts began
Because of the rain in my eyes I understand calling you sky
And because of the fury in your eyes I understand your calling me fear
If your curves don't help me make the path straight
Guide me with your silence
That way we do understand each other

SONG MEANING

“Diez Mil Porqués” is Beret’s heartfelt conversation with an ex-lover, but it doubles as a pep-talk we secretly give ourselves after a breakup. The Spanish singer twists the typical Will we get back together? storyline into an avalanche of ten thousand whys: Why did it hurt? Why did it make us stronger? Why does freedom feel like a prison when you walk away? As he puzzles over these questions, Beret reminds us that the greatest jigsaws are the ones that don’t fit at first; given time, lost pieces slide perfectly into place and the arms that once held you still feel like home.

Behind the catchy melody lies a survival guide to heartbreak. Beret learns that love is not about owning someone, but about offering them your happiness—even if that means watching them fly. He admits the future can drown us in everything we never say or do, yet insists that memories, not material things, are what last “para siempre.” In the end, the song is an invitation to embrace every contradiction of love: to miss someone while valuing your own company, to feel lost without actually losing, and to turn every lingering por qué into fuel for personal freedom.
