No Discutamos Lyrics in English by Luis Miguel
Discutamos comes from the verb discutir, meaning "to argue" or "to discuss." In this song, Luis Miguel uses the subjunctive form "no discutamos" to express a plea or a suggestion: "let's not argue."
It's an interesting word because it immediately sets the tone for the song, which is about the aftermath of an argument and the end of a relationship. It's a common verb, but its use in this specific context, as a direct appeal to avoid conflict, makes it particularly poignant and memorable.
Luis Miguel's "No Discutamos" is a pretty blunt breakup song, and it's all about avoiding a big argument. The singer is basically saying, "Let's not fight, because after the first one, there are always more." He takes the blame, admitting, "Tuve la culpa, fue mi error / Por no decirte francamente que ya no te amo" [It was my fault, it was my mistake / For not telling you frankly that I no longer love you].
He's already asked for forgiveness, but since his ex isn't forgiving him, he's wondering what she wants him to do: "Qué quieres que yo haga / Que me quede o que me vaya" [What do you want me to do / Should I stay or should I go?]. The reason for his change of heart is pretty clear: he's found someone new. He even says, "Porque no puedes evitar / Que yo la quiera, es más lo amo" [Because you can't stop / Me from loving her, in fact, I love her]. When asked when this new love started, he's hilariously vague, claiming, "Porque por Dios por Dios / Que no, que no, que no me acuerdo" [Because by God, by God / I don't, I don't, I don't remember]. He just knows he found her, fell in love, and now he wants her, and even misses her. It's a very direct, no-frills explanation of why he's moving on.
