Partir De Mí Lyrics in English Natalia Lafourcade

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Partir De Mí by Natalia Lafourcade from Spanish to English.
I know that you have to leave me
I know that you have to grow
I know that there's something beating in you
that now has to come out
I know that all those nights
that you spent by my side
will stay in your memories
and you carry me to the end
Even though the world
greets you with rainy days
those clear nights remain
with dawns so deep
and caresses of wandering winds
Those are the sighs
that took my sleep away
Now that you've left me
I feel that I was born again
Good morning
I know that you're not used
to feeling free like a bird
You have so many skies to fly, to fly
Good morning
I know that you're not used
But if you doubt anything, don't forget
that at the window I'll be waiting
in case you have something to say
and all those nights
that you spent by my side
will stay in your memories
and you carry me to the end
will stay in your memories
and you carry me to the end

SONG MEANING

Natalia Lafourcade, one of Mexico’s most beloved indie-folk voices, paints a tender moment of farewell in “Partir De Mí.” The singer speaks to someone she loves, fully aware that this person has to leave in order to grow. Rather than clinging, she wraps the goodbye in warmth: she recalls moonlit nights, deep dawns, and sleepy sighs that once stole their rest. Those shared memories become a soft suitcase the traveler carries, proof that love can be both a shelter and a launchpad.

The song is ultimately a gentle push toward freedom. Lafourcade reassures her companion that new skies await, that uncertainty is normal, and that her window will stay open should they ever return with fresh stories to tell. In letting the other go, she feels reborn herself, suggesting that true affection is circular—it sets both hearts free. Listeners walk away feeling the bittersweet glow of a sunrise: half goodbye, half brand-new beginning.
