Intro 1

Tell me if you're leaving, so I can get drunk once and for all

To picture you with someone else, I'm dying of jealousy and you don't help

Such a criminal, because of you I discovered that men do cry

That telling lies became trendy, if you're gonna leave, come on, leave now

Intro 2

Tell me if you're leaving, so I can get drunk once and for all

Imagining you with someone else, I'm dying of jealousy and you don't help

Such a criminal, because of you I discovered that men do cry

That telling lies became trendy, if you're gonna leave, come on, leave now

Verse 1

I put life on pause

Whenever we fight, you want to end everything, stop

What do you gain by being indifferent?

It's you who messes up my mind

I know it

All those stories I already know

I know that you're going to ask me to come back again

And me, like an idiot, I say yes again

I know that you and I aren't anything serious

But I don't know why with you it feels like this

You're the same, girl, drop the mystery

I don't know what happened when I undressed you

And now, me, telling it to you straight

No babe compares with you

That flow sets you apart from the rest

Chorus 1

Tell me if you're leaving, so I can get drunk once and for all

Imagining you with someone else, I'm dying of jealousy and you don't help

Such a criminal, because of you I discovered that men do cry

That telling lies became trendy, if you're gonna leave, come on, leave now

Verse 2

And if you don't come back, I know that in the future I'm gonna be happy

I want to thank you for what I learned

I don't think about you anymore, I say it without resentment

I already have another one in my seat

I'm unfocused

Because of the two that fill that bra

You fight a lot

But either way I don't wanna lose you

Chorus 2

Tell me if you're leaving, so I can get drunk once and for all

Imagining you with someone else, I'm dying of jealousy and you don't help

Such a criminal, because of you I discovered that men do cry

That telling lies became trendy, if you're gonna leave, come on, leave now

End, end

It's over

A bolero there

So that you fall in love

Or fall out of love

Did you like this lyrics translation?

desenamores — you fall out of love

Desenamores comes from the verb desenamorarse, which means "to fall out of love". It's the direct opposite of the more common verb enamorarse (to fall in love), created simply by adding the prefix des-, which reverses the meaning.

In the song's outro, J Balvin says he made this ballad "pa' que te enamores o te desenamores" (so you can fall in love or fall out of love). This clever wordplay captures the bittersweet reality that a song can be the soundtrack for both the beginning and the end of a romance, making this a uniquely powerful and memorable word to learn.

“Si Te Vas” is like an emotional roller-coaster set to a smooth reggaetón beat. J Balvin and Jay Wheeler play the part of a guy who is half-begging, half-daring his lover to leave. One moment he swears he will drown his sorrows in tequila, the next he admits that the thought of her with someone else drives him mad with jealousy. The lyrics paint her as “toda una criminal” because she steals his peace of mind, making him discover that even tough men cry. It is a push-and-pull relationship: he knows their love is not “nada serio,” yet the chemistry is so intense that he keeps saying yes to her return.

Under the catchy chorus lies a bigger message about toxic love. The singer swings between heartbreak and bravado, between wanting her to stay and telling her to leave right now. He thanks her for the lessons, claims he will be happy in the future, then confesses he is still unfocused and doesn’t want to lose her. This clash of pride, desire, and insecurity is what makes the song relatable and addictive. In short, “Si Te Vas” captures the messy truth of modern relationships: sometimes letting go is harder than holding on, even when you sing it with a dance-floor smile.
