Verse 1
Why didn't you know how to understand my heart?
Or: Why didn't you understand my heart?
What was in it
Why didn't you have the courage to see who I am?
Why don't you listen to what's so close to you?
Only the noise from outside and me
Because I'm on one side, I disappear for you
Prechorus 1

Because I know
That something better awaits me
Someone who knows how to give me love

Today I understood that there's not enough for both of us

SONG MEANING

“Me Voy” is a bright, accordion-driven pop tune where Mexican-American artist Julieta Venegas turns heartbreak into a victory dance. The lyrics show her speaking directly to a partner who never really saw her; he ignored her feelings, failed to recognize her worth, and left her fading into the background. Instead of wallowing, she realizes, “Maybe I deserve this… but I don’t want it.” With those words she packs her bags, says a polite yet definitive “Qué lástima, pero adiós” (“What a pity, but goodbye”), and heads toward a future that promises someone who can “endulza la sal” – sweeten even the salty moments.

Beneath its catchy melody, the song delivers an empowering message of self-respect: know when to walk away, believe that something better is waiting, and never settle for love that makes you feel small. It’s a bittersweet farewell wrapped in upbeat rhythms that invite you to sing along while reclaiming your own happiness.
