Verse 1

The last one out, turn off the light

Close the door slowly

Throw the keys to the bottom of the sea

I know that I'll miss your words

The damp venom of your lips

I will accept that nothing is forever

That all we ever did was say goodbye

Chorus 1

To tell each other goodbye

To make everything go black

Like the mouth of a wolf

Or: Like a wolf's mouth

Like a moonless night

To tell each other goodbye

To make everything go black

Like a bottomless pit

Like a moonless night

To tell each other goodbye

Verse 2

I'll vacuum-seal my kisses

I will dance my last tango, now without you

What were once sweet cries of hope

Now they're just the past

Pieces of cardboard

I will accept that nothing is forever

That all we ever did was say goodbye

Chorus 2

To tell each other goodbye

To make everything go black

Like the mouth of a wolf

Like a moonless night

To tell each other goodbye

To make everything go black

Like a bottomless pit

Like a moonless night

To tell each other goodbye

Verse 3

But how much it hurts to stop seeing you

To breathe, to live with you on my mind

With your laughter, your summer, and my bad luck

I'll accept my life in this lousy death

Chorus 3

To tell each other goodbye

To make everything go black

Like the mouth of a wolf

Like a moonless night

To tell each other goodbye

To make everything go black

Like a bottomless pit

Like a moonless night

Like the mouth of a wolf

Like a moonless night

To tell each other goodbye

Envasaré — I will pack / I will bottle

Envasaré is the future tense of the verb envasar, which means 'to pack,' 'to bottle,' or 'to can,' usually in the context of preserving food.

In this song, Miguel Bosé creates a striking and unusual image by singing, "Envasaré mis besos al vacío" (I will vacuum-pack my kisses). This is a poignant metaphor for the end of a relationship, suggesting he is sealing his kisses away forever. It powerfully conveys a sense of finality and the preservation of a love that is now in the past.

Decirnos Adiós paints the bittersweet moment when two lovers realize that their story has always been a long goodbye. Miguel Bosé and Penélope Cruz trade verses that drip with vivid images: tossing keys into the sea, vacuum-sealing kisses, dancing one last tango. Every metaphor turns the page toward darkness, comparing the breakup to a wolf’s mouth, a moonless night, a bottomless well. The message is clear: some relationships are built on constant farewells, and accepting that truth is as painful as it is freeing.

Despite the melancholy, the song glows with elegance. Bosé’s velvety voice mixes with Cruz’s soft, unexpected cameo, giving the sorrow a cinematic flair that keeps listeners hooked. “Decirnos Adiós” reminds us that endings can be poetic, that love sometimes survives only as memory, and that even the darkest nights eventually teach us something about light.
