Como Te He Querido Yo Lyrics in English by Noel Schajris
Cicatrices translates to "scars." It's a poignant and evocative word that goes beyond typical romantic vocabulary, making it stand out.
In the song, Noel Schajris sings, "Y yo sé que hoy me maldices, pues te quedan cicatrices" (And I know today you curse me, because you are left with scars). He uses this word metaphorically to describe the emotional wounds and lasting pain his actions have caused, highlighting the deep impact of a broken relationship.
Noel Schajris opens this ballad already past the point of fighting for the relationship — "Es muy tarde, ya lo sé" ("It's too late, I know it") — and takes the blame outright: "Fue mi culpa, yo fallé" ("It was my fault, I failed"). Instead of asking for another chance, he steps back and wishes her well, admitting the love between them is gone: "Te deseo lo mejor" ("I wish you the best").
The song then turns from apology to a quiet, confident claim. He tells her the scars will heal with time, and that one day she'll realize what she had. The hook says it plainly: "Como yo, como te he querido yo, nadie en el mundo jamás te amará" ("Like me, how I've loved you, nobody in the world will ever love you"). It reads less like a threat than a private conviction — he doesn't expect her back, he just doesn't believe anyone else will love her the way he did.
