Despídase Bien Lyrics in English by Carin Leon

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Despídase Bien by Carin Leon from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

Forgive me for being how I am, it's that you wouldn't unblock me

I left you a letter today where you always parked

I don't deserve your forgiveness, maybe this changes nothing

On your side it's over, but on mine it still isn't over

Chorus 1

I don't know what hurt more

Failing you or knowing that you won't come back

With you I felt what with nobody else

And it ended just like the rest

I'd like to love you

But it's that I don't know how to do it

Maybe in another life I have a heart that works

To find you and that this turns out well

I'd like to love you

But it's that I don't know how to do it

And if what happened that day was the goodbye

Then come and say goodbye properly

Verse 2

So that your memory won't follow me if I go out with another baby

I'm leaving, but I always come back, one comes back to where he was happy

I spend my time smoking weed to see if the smoke reaches my heart

And once and for all I forget you and what we had

The fridge full, but we always ate each other

Sex didn't end until we fell asleep

It's false what they say out there that I never loved you

And all the harm I did to you and to myself

Chorus 2

I don't know what hurt more

Failing you or knowing that you won't come back

With you I felt what with nobody else

And it ended just like the rest

I'd like to love you

But it's that I don't know how to do it

Maybe in another life I have a heart that works

To find you and that this turns out well

I'd like to love you

But it's that I don't know how to do it

And if what happened that day was the goodbye

Then come and say goodbye properly

Outro

It seems that way

My loyal heart

Once and again

Again and again

I saw that you tripped

With the same foot

With the same stone

And I know that that's how you are

despídase — say goodbye

Despídase is a formal command meaning "Say goodbye". It comes from the reflexive verb despedirse, which refers to the act of bidding farewell.

In the song, the singer makes a painful request: "si... fue la despedida, 'tonces venga y despídase bien" (if that was the goodbye, then come and say goodbye properly). Using the formal despídase (instead of the informal despídete) adds a layer of emotional distance and gravity to this desperate plea for closure.

This song is a messy, honest look at a breakup from someone who knows they messed up. Carin Leon isn't trying to be the good guy here. He admits he had to leave a letter for his ex because she blocked him: "Perdona por ser como soy, es que no me desbloqueabas" (Sorry for being who I am, you hadn't unblocked me). He knows the relationship is over for her, but for him, "aún no acaba" (it's not over yet).

He seems to think he's broken when it comes to love, wishing he could love her but admitting, "es que no lo sé hacer" (I just don't know how to do it). He even hopes that "Quizás en otra vida tenga un cora' que sirva" (Maybe in another life I'll have a heart that works). Since this might be the final goodbye, he asks for one last proper one: "'Tonces venga y despídase bien" (So come and say goodbye properly). It's a blunt, self-aware song about repeating the same mistakes and wanting one last moment before it's truly over.
