Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Te Queria by lido pimienta from Spanish to English.

I finally had everything

And I gave it all to you

You finally needed me and then you didn't take me into account

You never work for me, I came closer to be the first

If you never loved me

Why do I have to give you pearls

You never work for me, I came closer to be the first

If you never loved me

Why do I have to give you pearls

I was also watching, I guessed everything just fine

I was doing fine too, I imagined it all

I planted the seeds here and watered the ones that you planted

Without me you never found yourself

But today I feel relaxed

What you wanted you stole

You showed up, but by surprise

Leave me, you never loved me

Get away, you embarrass me

What you wanted you stole

You showed up, but by surprise

Leave me, you never loved me

Get away, you embarrass me

I was also watching, I guessed everything just fine

I was doing fine too, I imagined it all

I was also watching, I guessed everything just fine

I was doing fine too, I imagined it all

I loved you, I loved you too

As an instrument of what I could be

I adored you, I adored you too

From the moment of what I couldn't understand

I was watching you too

And I, I was watching too

I guessed everything, I know it

I could also see it, see

I loved you, I loved you too

As an instrument of what I could be

I adored you, I adored you too

From the moment of what I could understand

I loved you, I loved you too

As an instrument of what I could be

I adored you, I adored you too

From the moment of what I could understand

I dumped you, I dumped you

I dumped you, I dumped you-you

I dumped you, I dumped you

I dumped you, I dumped you-you

boté — I dumped / I threw away

Boté comes from the verb botar, which literally means "to throw away" or "to bounce" (like a ball). However, in a relationship context, especially in Latin American Spanish, it's a very direct and impactful way to say "I dumped" or "I broke up with" someone.

In this song, the repetition of "Yo te boté" (I dumped you) at the end is a powerful declaration of liberation and finality after a difficult relationship. It's a raw and memorable expression of taking back control.

“Te Quería” is Lido Pimienta’s fiery goodbye letter to someone who took her love for granted. The Colombian-Canadian artist sings from the perspective of a giver who “planted the seeds,” “watered what you planted,” and even handed over her pearls, only to discover the other person never truly cared. The lyrics swing between bittersweet nostalgia and blunt confrontation, capturing that startling moment when you realize you were investing in a one-sided relationship. Repetition of lines like “Yo te miraba” and “Yo te boté” mirrors the cycle of hope, doubt, and ultimate release, while the vibrant, spiraling vocals echo the emotional roller coaster.

At its heart, the song is about reclaiming power and self-worth. After cataloging all she sacrificed, Lido flips the script: “Déjame… Aléjate… Yo te boté.” Those commands become a triumphant mantra of liberation, turning heartbreak into a celebration of boundaries. Listeners are left with a punchy reminder that loving someone does not mean losing yourself— and that walking away can be the most loving act of all.
