Hasta Aquí Llegué Lyrics in English by Nanpa Básico, Beele
Noqueas is the verb noquear (to knock out), adapted from the English boxing term. It's a powerful and visual word that you won't find in a standard textbook.
In the song, Nanpa Básico sings, "No solo hieres, tú noquea'" (You don't just hurt, you knock out). He's using this intense metaphor to describe how the emotional pain his partner causes is so strong it feels like a knockout blow, leaving him completely overwhelmed.
This song is the perfect anthem for when you know you have to walk away from someone, even if it hurts. Nanpa Básico starts by painting a scene of total frustration, feeling like he's "hablando con la pared" [talking to the wall] and trying to forget his ex by going out. But he admits, "aunque no lloro / Juro que te añoro" [although I don't cry / I swear I miss you]. It's that tough moment of knowing a relationship is over, but the feelings are definitely still there.
The chorus is where he really draws the line. He says, "Fuiste lo mejor que ha habido / Pero, baby, hasta aquí llegué" [You were the best there has been / But, baby, this is as far as I go]. It’s a powerful way of acknowledging the good times while firmly ending things. Then he drops a bombshell, asking for forgiveness for "siempre haber sabido / Que no eras para mí" [having always known / that you weren't for me]. Beele's verse adds to this, pointing out the imbalance: "Que dar más de lo que uno recibe en sí / Daña lo que sea" [Giving more than what one receives / damages anything]. The song ends with the repeated line "De amor... Nadie se muere" [From love... Nobody dies], a final, tough-love reminder to himself and to us that you can and will survive a broken heart.
