I never expected that great love
Would end like this
Letting the fire that was
Heat just for the two of us
Really you're foolish even to think
That we let so much time to love escape
Really it's hard to believe
That what was ours yesterday has stayed so far behind
What a shame, the joy and happiness are over
That were in our lives
And now in a single goodbye, out of ego and vanity
They end
What a shame it is to see a whole great dream die
In the longing
Now it's better to leave, I hope that you're happy
Really, what a shame
What a shame, the joy and happiness are over
That were in our lives
And now in a single goodbye, out of ego and vanity
They end
What a shame it is to see a whole great dream die
In the longing
Now it's better to leave, I hope that you're happy
Really, what a shame

SONG MEANING

"Qué Lástima" invites us into a vibrant telenovela of emotions, where the once red-hot romance has cooled into ashes of regret. With Marco Antonio Solís’s heartfelt vocals, Los Bukis paint a picture of two lovers who let their pride snuff out a love that felt destined to last forever. The lyrics recall blazing memories—“el fuego que fue calor solo de los dos”—only to reveal how ego and vanity pushed that warmth into the past. Listeners can almost see the couple standing face to face, realizing too late that their greatest mistake was wasting time when they could have been loving each other.

The chorus’s repeated cry of “¡Qué lástima!” (“What a pity!”) captures the bittersweet mix of sorrow, nostalgia, and reluctant goodwill. While mourning the death of a “grande ilusión,” the narrator still wishes the other happiness, recognizing that sometimes the healthiest choice is to part ways. This song is a melodic lesson on how unchecked pride can steal joy—and a reminder to cherish love fiercely before it slips away.
