It's already late
There are doors that close and that never open
You left thinking that I couldn't forget you
If I remember you it's because you came looking for me
It's already late
Where will it go?
The love that I once had for you
Where will it go?
Where will it go?
The wind will take it away
The clouds like time will erase your love
And now it's me who says no
Don't call, don't come, don't you get that
I've already forgotten you
It feels good to look at you and not see yesterday's love
Every path you walk has an end
It's a shame that the same happened to this love
You taught me to love, I learned to forget
No matter how dark it is, it will always dawn
I who dreamed of dying with you
And my heart ended up wounded
But time gave it meaning
And now it's me who says no
Don't call, don't come, don't you get that
I've already forgotten you
It feels good to look at you and not see yesterday's love
It's already late
There are doors that close and that never open
You left thinking that I couldn't forget you
If I remember you it's because you came looking for me
It's already late
Where will it go?
The love that I once had for you
Where will it go?
Where will it go?
The wind will take it away
The clouds like time will erase your love
And now it's me who says no
Don't call, don't come, don't you get that
I've already forgotten you
It feels good to look at you and not see yesterday's love
The love, the love, yesterday's love
Where does it go, where did it go?
It's already late

SONG MEANING

Es Tarde captures the moment you finally realise a past love has lost its power over you. Juanes paints a vivid picture of closed doors and fading memories, showing how someone who once seemed unforgettable can become just another face in the crowd. The chorus’s repeated question “¿A dónde irá el amor?” feels like tossing an old photograph into the wind, trusting that time and distance will carry it away.

At its core, the song is a declaration of freedom. The narrator moves from heartbreak to self-assurance, proudly saying “Ya te olvidé” and relishing the peace that comes with letting go. The rainclouds of sorrow drift off, the sun rises, and what remains is a lesson: love can teach you to feel deeply, but it can also teach you to heal. "Es Tarde" reminds listeners that even the darkest nights end in dawn, and sometimes the best answer to a knock on the door of the past is simply, “no.”
