Lejos Estamos Mejor Lyrics in English Motel

Home / Lyrics Translation / Motel / Lejos Estamos Mejor

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Lejos Estamos Mejor by Motel from Spanish to English.

Today I break into tears

Since I know that everything is decided

I love you so much

But feeling it isn't enough

We've tried to go on just to go on

Without acknowledging

that there's nothing else to do anymore

And we've agreed to suffer just to suffer

Without wanting to believe

Darling, after breaking up

Even though I can't stand losing you

Our separation is inevitable

And this isn't the time to understand

We just have to accept it

Because we're better apart

From that love

We have only the memory

Moon without sun

Garden that has been left deserted

At no time did I stop feeling, feeling you

We can survive

This breakup has to happen

Because we have to keep going

Darling, after leaving

Even though I can't stand losing you

Our separation is inevitable

And this isn't the time to understand

We just have to accept it because we're better apart

Even though I can't stand losing you

Our separation is inevitable

And this isn't the time to understand

We just have to accept it

Because we're better apart

We're better apart

SONG MEANING

Lejos Estamos Mejor is a bittersweet breakup anthem where the narrator comes to terms with a love that just cannot keep going. Through heartfelt confessions like “Te quiero tanto, pero no es suficiente sentirlo” he admits that affection alone is no longer enough. Both partners have been clinging to a fading romance, “suffering for the sake of suffering,” until the painful truth finally sinks in: staying together only deepens the hurt.

Despite the tears and the fear of losing each other, the song offers a mature, even hopeful message. Accepting distance—“lejos estamos mejor”—becomes the path to healing. Memories of their once-bright love (“luna sin sol,” “jardín desierto”) linger, but the chorus insists that separation is inevitable and necessary. Motel turns heartbreak into growth, reminding us that sometimes loving someone means letting go so both hearts can thrive apart.
