You leave because I want you to leave
At the time that I want I'll stop you
I know that you need my love
Because whether you want it or not
I am your owner
I want you to go around the world
And I want you to meet lots of people
I want that other lips kiss you
So that you compare me
Today, like always
If you find a love that understands you
And you feel that it loves you more than anybody
Then I'll turn around
And I'll leave with the sun
When the afternoon dies
Then I'll turn around
And I'll leave with the sun
When the afternoon dies
I want you to go around the world
And I want you to meet lots of people
I want that other lips kiss you
So that you compare me
Today, like always
If you find a love that understands you
And you feel that it loves you more than anybody
Then I'll turn around
And I'll leave with the sun
When the afternoon dies
Then I'll turn around
And I'll leave with the sun
When the afternoon dies
You leave because I want you to leave

SONG MEANING

La Media Vuelta (Spanish for “The Half Turn”) is a dramatic declaration of pride, love, and bittersweet freedom sung by Puerto Rican–Mexican superstar Luis Miguel. The narrator tells a lover to leave because he says so, boasting that his affection is irreplaceable and that, like it or not, he is still “your owner.” Yet in the same breath he urges the lover to travel, meet new people, and kiss other lips. Why? He wants the world to show her that no one will love her as deeply as he does.

The song revolves around a single daring promise: if she ever finds someone who understands and loves her more, he will simply turn on his heel (give “la media vuelta”) and walk away at sunset. Until that unlikely moment, his confidence reigns supreme. With its sweeping mariachi arrangement and playful mix of arrogance and vulnerability, the track captures the push-and-pull of passion—possessive yet magnanimous, proud yet hopeful. Listening, you can almost see the sun dipping below the horizon as he waits to see whether love will return or whether he will make that fateful half-turn and disappear with the fading light.
