Cuando Tú Vas Lyrics in English Chenoa

Home / Lyrics Translation / Chenoa / Cuando Tú Vas

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuando Tú Vas by Chenoa from Spanish to English.

Bragging that he knows it all

He tells me things that don't sound quite right

He's trying to seduce me

In the party there's so much noise, I can't hear him well

Hair slicked back, twisted smile

He'll try to hit on me for the second time

He doesn't realize that I'm not interested

That what he says or what he does I know well

Chorus 1

And don't talk to me about safe sex

Or plastic-wrap my heart

I'm already tired of hard bodies

And soft minds that don't know about love

When you go, I come from there

When I go, you're still here

And you think that you can confuse me

And what're you doing looking back at me?

Oh, what nerve!

Now I like you more

Chorus 1

And it's that I don't trust you because I know that you'll cheat on me

Verse 1

I saw an almost frozen grimace on him

What I said about him is reflected on his face

And like lightning he just turned around

He won me over when he told me that I was mistaken

At last you ask what my name was

Truth is, you'd have started off on the right foot

You'll understand that I don't know you

But I'm dying to kiss his skin

Chorus 2

And don't talk to me about safe sex

Or plastic-wrap my heart

I'm already tired of hard bodies

And soft minds that don't know about love

When you go, I come from there

When I go, you're still here

And you think that you can confuse me

And what're you doing looking back at me?

Oh, what nerve!

Now I like you more

Chorus 2

And it's that I don't trust you because I know that you'll cheat on me

When you go, I come from there

When I go, you're still here

And you think that you can confuse me

And what're you doing looking back at me?

Oh, what nerve!

Now I like you more

Chorus 2

And it's that I don't trust you because I know that you'll chea-

I know that you'll cheat on me

SONG MEANING

Picture a crowded dance floor, neon lights flashing, and a self-assured guy strutting toward Chenoa with his best pickup lines. Cuando Tú Vas is Chenoa’s witty comeback: she tells this overconfident flirt that every trick he tries, she already knows. The catchy chorus — “Cuando tú vas, yo vengo de allí” — translates to When you go, I’m already coming back, a playful way of saying, “Nice try, but I’m always one step ahead.”

Beyond the club banter, the song celebrates self-respect and sharp intuition. Chenoa is tired of “cuerpos duros y mentes blandas” — hard bodies with soft minds — and refuses to let anyone “plastifique” her heart with hollow talk about “sexo seguro.” Still, she admits his boldness is entertaining, even attractive. This blend of sass, skepticism, and flirtation turns the track into an anthem of empowered flirtation: enjoy the game, but never lose control of your own rhythm.
