What if the person you adore just can’t love you back? That bittersweet question fuels “Y Está Bien,” a tender folk-pop confession by Mexican singer-songwriter Kevin Kaarl. The narrator stands face to face with his crush, hoping their feelings match, yet sensing the painful truth: they don’t. As sunlight slips from a window and a borrowed song drifts through the air, he realizes that her smile carries no echo of his own overflowing emotions. Still, instead of anger or drama, he repeats a disarming mantra—“y está bien” (“and that’s okay”)—accepting the mismatch with courage and grace.
The lyrics trace a gentle tug-of-war between hope and resignation. He offers to wait, apologizes for being different, and admits he can’t shake the feeling even after hearing her boundaries loud and clear. Each chorus becomes a soft surrender: he knows the kiss lacks real spark, but he chooses understanding over bitterness. In just a few heartfelt verses, Kevin Kaarl captures the universal ache of unreturned love while celebrating the quiet strength it takes to let someone go… and be okay with it.
