Por Si Te Vas Lyrics in English María Peláe

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Por Si Te Vas by María Peláe from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

If I could know the truth just by looking at you

If I could know the truth for just an instant

Your complicity would be enough for me, a wink of your eyes

I wouldn't hesitate and maybe your words would sink into me

If I could know the truth for just one second

I'd back down and make the effort to see you, nothing more

Chorus 1

If I could know the truth

I'd risk feeling the torment of seeing you stare

Because now I don't know, I don't know, I can't trust

Because you trap me, you convince me and that's already over

Like ice, your words melt away

And it's just that I already drank from you

And going back again isn't good enough for me

Because I'm already so tired of not having courage

Of losing my self-love with you

With you it went the same way it came

Verse 2

If I could know the truth the moment I saw your walk

If I could know the truth and not let you pierce me

I'd prepare all my arsenal of whys and hows

I wouldn't let you walk out of here without war or peace

Bridge

I could understand everything you say

I'd know how to digest all those nuances

I'd dispel this cloud of doubts that's going to kill me

I could get ahead to the end of your jokes

Put your bridge under construction, feel impassive

I'd manage to stand my ground and be firm to my will

Chorus 2

If I could know the truth

I'd risk feeling the torment of seeing you stare

Because now I don't know, I don't know, I can't trust

Because you trap me, you convince me and that's already over

Like ice, your words melt away

And it's that I already drank from you and going back again isn't good enough for me

Because I'm already so tired of not having courage

Of losing my self-love with you

With you it went the same way it came

Outro

In case you leave, you leave, you leave, you leave, you leave

In case you leave

In case you leave, you leave, you leave, you leave, you leave

In case you leave

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Por si te vas spins the tense moment just before someone finally cuts loose from a toxic love. With her usual flamenco-pop spark, María Peláe voices a narrator who craves absolute honesty – if only she could read it in a glance or in a single second. She imagines stocking up on questions, sharpening her wit, and dismantling every excuse, yet deep down she knows the real battle is with her own doubts. Each icy word from the other person melts away, and every time she’s tempted to return, she remembers how much self-respect she’s already lost.

The repeated chorus “Por si te vas” is half warning, half liberation. It is the soundtrack of someone packing emotional armor just in case you leave while also daring you to do so. By the end, the song becomes an anthem of tired courage, where the speaker chooses self-worth over endless persuasion. Expect bold rhythms, clever wordplay, and a relatable message: sometimes the bravest move is to stop asking for the truth and start walking toward it yourself.
