Lo Que No Fue No Será Lyrics in English Cristian Castro

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lo Que No Fue No Será by Cristian Castro from Spanish to English.
In your hands I learned to drink water
I was a sparrow that stayed trapped in your cage
Because I cut my wings
And the birdseed that you gave me
Was so little and yet I loved you
My song for you was always complete
Without you I couldn't fly in another sky
But you left me alone
Confused and forgotten
And another hand offered me the longed-for fruit
Chorus 1
What one day was won't be
Don't come looking for me again
I have nothing to give you
I got tired of your birdseed
Go fly in another sky
And leave your cage open
Maybe another sparrow will fall
But give it something to drink
Verse 1
Let me turn on the light, I don't want anything
If this had been yesterday, I'd take it
The first time that you offer
So that I stay here
But without loving you, what would I gain
Chorus 2
What one day was won't be
Don't come looking for me again
I have nothing to give you
I got tired of your birdseed
Go fly in another sky
And leave your cage open
Maybe another sparrow will fall
But give it something to drink

SONG MEANING

In this emotional Latin pop classic, Cristian Castro slips into the feathers of a small sparrow that once surrendered its wings for love. Drinking from his partner’s hand and living off sparse birdseed, he sings of a devotion so complete that he forgot how to fly. The cage imagery captures a relationship where one lover held all the power, feeding out tiny doses of affection while the other gave everything, his song, his freedom, his heart.

The chorus transforms the sadness into an anthem of self-respect: Lo que un día fue, no será (What once was will not be). Realizing he deserves more, the singer turns down a late offer of love, urges his former captor to leave the door open for another unsuspecting bird, and sets his sights on a wider sky. The result is a bittersweet goodbye that celebrates reclaimed freedom, dignity, and the promise of a love that lets him truly soar.
