Qué Pena Lyrics in English by Grupo 5
Inalcanzable means 'unreachable' or 'unattainable'. It's a poignant word that conveys a sense of longing for something just out of grasp.

Have you ever been completely head-over-heels for someone who barely notices you? Grupo 5's "Qué Pena" [What a Shame] perfectly captures that feeling of unrequited love, straight from the heart of Chiclayo, Peru. The singer is absolutely smitten, putting their "ojos en ti" [eyes on you] even though they know this person is "inalcanzable" [unreachable].
It's a really relatable song about giving your all to someone who doesn't reciprocate. The lyrics talk about how this dependency brought so much pain, and how the singer feels like a "esclavo por tu amor" [slave for your love] while the other person remains a "reina" [queen]. The repeated line, "Qué pena que tenga que ser todo para mí en cambio yo para ti no significó nada" [What a shame that you have to be everything to me, but I meant nothing to you], really hits hard. It's all about that bittersweet ache of loving someone so deeply when they don't feel the same way.
