Verse 1
The last one that turns off the light
That closes the door slowly
That throws the keys to the bottom of the sea
I know that I'll miss your words
The moist poison of your lips
I will accept that nothing is forever
That what we always did was say goodbye
Chorus 1
To tell each other goodbye
To turn everything black
Like the mouth of a wolf
Or: Like a wolf's mouth
Like the moonless night
To tell each other goodbye
To turn everything black
Like a bottomless pit
Like the moonless night
To tell each other goodbye
Verse 2
I will package my kisses into emptiness
I will dance my last tango, now without you
What before was sweet shouts of excitement
Now they're just the past
Pieces of cardboard
I will accept that nothing is forever
That what we always did was say goodbye
Chorus 2
To tell each other goodbye
To turn everything black
Like the mouth of a wolf
Like the moonless night
To tell each other goodbye
To turn everything black
Like a bottomless pit
Like the moonless night
To tell each other goodbye
Verse 3
But how it hurts to stop seeing you
To breathe, to live with you in mind
With your laughter, your summer, and my bad luck
I will accept my life in this bad death
Chorus 3
To tell each other goodbye
To turn everything black
Like the mouth of a wolf
Like the moonless night
To tell each other goodbye
To turn everything black
Like a bottomless pit
Like the moonless night
Like the mouth of a wolf
Like the moonless night
To tell each other goodbye

SONG MEANING

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.
