Verse 1
They both sighed the same
And today they're part of a distant rain
Don't get confused, resentment is not useful
They are spasms after goodbye
Chorus 1
You play sad songs to feel better
Your essence is more visible
From the same pain
A new dawn will come
Verse 2
Maybe they fulfilled the need
But there are voids that they cannot fulfill
They didn't know the depth
Until one day, it couldn't take more
Chorus 2
You were left waiting for echoes that won't return
Floating among rejections
From the same pain
A new dawn will come
Outro
To separate from the species
For something superior
It's not arrogance, it's love
It's not arrogance, it's love
Being able to say goodbye
It's to grow

SONG MEANING

“Adiós” is Cerati’s poetic take on the moment when love dissolves and two people must accept that the storm has rolled past them. The song opens with shared sighs that evaporate into una lluvia lejos, setting a wistful mood while reminding us that resentment is useless. Instead, Cerati urges listeners to acknowledge the pain, put on those melancholic tracks, and watch how a new dawn quietly waits behind every heartbreak.

What could feel like pride in saying farewell is actually an act of amor for both sides. By floating through rejection and confronting the voids no partner can fill, we realize that to say goodbye is to grow. “Adiós” turns a breakup anthem into a rock-tinged life lesson: closure is less about endings and more about the courage to evolve.
