Y Te Vas Lyrics in English MOTEL

Home / Lyrics translation / MOTEL / Y Te Vas

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Y Te Vas by MOTEL from Spanish to English.

And you slide into the chance to escape

Sometimes I feel that life is a thing that leaves us

It pushes us away, reflects us, and urges us on, nothing more

There are so many times that I wish to protect you and suddenly

You simply, slowly, turn around

And you slide into the chance

To split time in order to escape

Distance is an eternity and you can't stop to wait

I can tell you so many things that I wish you would tell me

That you'd ask me, that you could promise me something more

But the silence of my lips is the price that I owe you

Because I love you and I don't want to leave you

And you slide into the chance

To split time in order to escape

Distance is an eternity and you can't stop to wait

To wait

I understand that everything happened

Sometimes I don't believe in goodbye

I could tell you that I'm leaving

I could tell you where I'm going, and today

And you slide into the chance

To split time in order to escape

Distance is an eternity and you can't stop to wait

Let me take you once more

And from afar, walk beside you

Distance is just one thing and nothing more

And forever I'm going to wait for you

eternidad — eternity

Eternidad translates to "eternity" and is a beautiful, evocative word that stands out in the lyrics. While not extremely rare, its use here is particularly poignant.

In the song, the line "La distancia es una eternidad" (The distance is an eternity) powerfully conveys the feeling of endless separation and longing. It's a word that resonates with deep emotion and adds a dramatic flair to the theme of lost love and waiting.

Y Te Vas paints the emotional moment when someone you love quietly slips out of your life, almost as if time itself opens a hidden door for them to escape. The singer feels a tug-of-war between wanting to shield that person from pain and recognizing their need to leave. Distance grows into an eternity, words get trapped behind silent lips, and what remains is a mix of longing, resignation, and hope.

Despite the heartbreak, the song pulses with determination: even if good-bye wins today, love will keep pacing the same path, ready to reunite. It is a bittersweet anthem for anyone who has ever watched a relationship drift away, yet still believes in the power of patiently waiting for paths to cross again.
