You were my life, you were my passion, you were my dream
My best song, all that you were, but you lost
You were my pride, you were my truth
And you were also my happiness
All that you were, but you lost
Suddenly one morning when I woke up
I told myself that everything is a lie
It was my fault to fall in love with your immaturity
Believing that you would change for me
I have no more time left to beg
Crumbs of your stupid affection
I take a stand and I say enough, enough for me
Because I am out of love with you
You were my life, you were my passion, you were my dream
My best song, all that you were, but you lost
You were my pride, you were my truth
And you were also my happiness
All that you were, but you lost
You were
You lost
Suddenly one morning when I woke up
I told myself that everything is a lie
It was my fault to fall in love with your immaturity
Believing that you would change for me
I have no more time left to beg
Crumbs of your stupid affection
I take a stand and I say enough, enough for me
Because I am out of love with you
You were my life, you were my passion, you were my dream
My best song, all that you were, but you lost
You were my pride, you were my truth
And you were also my happiness
All that you were, but you lost
You were

SONG MEANING

“Fuiste” is Gilda’s fiery break-up anthem where cumbia beats meet fearless self-love. At first she looks back with nostalgia: “Fuiste mi vida, fuiste mi pasión…” You were everything — her life, her song, even her truth. Yet that glowing list is always followed by a blunt reminder: “pero perdiste” (but you lost). Right from the start the chorus hints that this is not a song of regret, but of realization.

As the verses unfold, the narrator wakes up one morning and calls the whole relationship “una mentira”. She owns her mistake — falling for someone too immature — and refuses to keep begging for “migajas” (crumbs) of affection. The turning point is her bold declaration “yo me planto y digo basta”: she plants her feet, says enough, and walks away “desenamorada” (un-in-love). In just a few minutes, Gilda transforms heartbreak into empowerment, reminding listeners that valuing yourself is the most danceable decision you can make.
