Por Que Te Vas Lyrics in English Christian Daniel

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Por Que Te Vas by Christian Daniel from Spanish to English.
Today I wake up with my soul in pieces
Today I say goodbye without wanting to say goodbye
Leave slowly so I won't feel your steps
Leave in silence so I won't hear your voice
I don't deny that I'm afraid
Of facing life without you
And now that you're leaving
Take my whole life with you
I don't know where you'll go
But I understand that you'll have to leave
And now that you're leaving
Remember that love waits
And even if you don't come back anymore
I promise not to forget you
How could I forget you
I don't sleep, only your picture keeps me company
And in the mornings I usually complain to God
Asking that He stop tearing you from my arms
I couldn't stand so much pain anymore
I don't deny that I'm afraid
Of facing life without you
And now that you're leaving
Take my whole life with you
I don't know where you'll go
But I understand that you'll have to leave
And now that you're leaving
Remember that love waits
And even if you don't come back anymore
I promise not to forget you
I know you're running out of air
And in minutes you'll leave me
The helplessness of losing you
Is already eating my soul
I know you're running out of air
And in minutes you'll leave me
I know it's your last breath
Since tomorrow you won't be here
And now that you're leaving
Take my whole life with you
I don't know where you'll go
But I understand that you'll have to leave
And now that you're leaving
Remember that love waits
And even if you don't come back anymore
I promise not to forget you
How could I forget you

SONG MEANING

Imagine waking up and feeling the world collapse in slow motion. That is exactly where Swedish singer Christian Daniel places us in Por Que Te Vas. From the very first line, the narrator’s heart is already in pieces, and each verse walks us through a farewell he never wanted. Instead of loud drama, he begs for a quiet exit—“vete despacio… vete en silencio”—so the physical and emotional footprints of his loved one hurt a little less. The chorus turns that pain up another notch: he pleads for this departing partner to “take my entire life with you,” admitting he is terrified of facing the future alone. It sounds like a classic breakup, but hints such as “sé que te está faltando el aire… es tu último suspiro” suggest something even heavier: the possibility that the loved one is taking their final breath.

Yet beneath the sorrow, there’s a spark of hope and loyalty. Christian Daniel reminds us that true love “waits,” and even if the person never returns, the promise is to keep their memory alive. The song becomes a bittersweet anthem of eternal devotion—painful yet uplifting, fragile yet resolute. Whether you interpret it as the end of a relationship or the edge of mortality, Por Que Te Vas delivers a heartfelt lesson: real love can outlive distance, time, and even goodbye itself.
