Home / Lyrics Translation / KAROL G / ME TENGO QUE IR

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song ME TENGO QUE IR by KAROL G from Spanish to English.

You might sleep with me

And we might be together, but I don't feel you, babe

And I already have to leave

It wasn't enough

And if another day I have you in front of me

I'll pretend that I don't feel

I've been seeing that this was coming for a while

I don't buy the story that you make up

I don't want, babe, for you to take me to heaven

We live acting like we know each other

It's been a while since we had good sex

Who's gonna pay me for all the f*cks we still owe?

We're grown, babe, do yourself a favor

It wasn't that we didn't try, it was that it didn't work out for us

From all the circles that we went in

One of the two of us got lost

One of the two of us lost

Your data ran out

I don't want you, not even to kill time

You even got sleazy with my friends

Babe, you're a dog and I'm out looking for a cat

Yeah, yeah

You might sleep with me

And we might be together, but I don't feel you, babe

And I already have to leave

It wasn't enough

And if another day I have you in front of me

I'll pretend that I don't feel

I've been seeing that this was coming for a while

I don't buy the story that you make up

I'm not leaving without saying goodbye

But you know that it's my turn to go

You know I could give you a good life

Make such a good wife

Turn that dream reality

Now, you don't wanna kill me

I'd feel the same if I were you

But something here isn't enough

You confuse past with present, yeah, yeah

And suddenly

You already realize that life is tough, tough

I live in your mind for free

Even though I never asked to be a resident

And suddenly

You already realize that life is tough, tough

I live in your mind for free

Even though I never asked to be a resident

You might sleep with me

That we're together, but I don't feel you, babe

And I already have to leave

It wasn't enough

And if another day I have you in front of me

I'll pretend that I don't feel

I've been seeing that this was coming for a while

I don't buy the story that you make up

La-ra-la-la-la

You know I, you know I, la-ra-la-la-la-la

(I've been seeing that this was coming for a while

I don't buy the story that you make up)

SONG MEANING

ME TENGO QUE IR pairs two Colombian powerhouses, KAROL G and Kali Uchis, in a breakup anthem that feels equal parts spicy and self-empowering. The chorus sets the scene: “Puede que conmigo duermas… pero no te siento” – they might still share a bed, yet the emotional signal is completely lost. Over a sensual reggaetón groove, the singers list the red flags: fake familiarity, unpaid “debts” of passion, even wasted mobile data. Instead of clinging to the illusion, they choose self-respect. The repeated line “ya yo me tengo que ir” is not just a goodbye, it’s a confident exit toward something better.

What makes the track so relatable is its mix of humor and honesty. KAROL G shrugs off the past with playful jabs (“Papi, tú eres un perro y ando en busca de gato”), while Kali Uchis slips into English to remind him of the good life he just lost. Together they deliver a clear message: when love stops feeling real, the bravest move is to walk away, head high and playlist loud.
