Clavo Que Saca Otro Clavo Lyrics in English PATY CANTU

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Clavo Que Saca Otro Clavo by PATY CANTU from Spanish to English.
I already knew it
Your broken soul, your biography of love
You warned me that there's no sync, it was my fault
The fantasy that you'd fall in love someday, me
I was only the consolation for the love you were losing
A nail that pulls out another nail, your medicine
I'm the one with whom you forgot the one you loved
And the one you'll love, I already knew it
I already knew it
That this war was lost
Sorry, it was my fault
I lied to myself, it was ironic
The fantasy that you'd fall in love someday, me
I was only the consolation for the love you were losing
A nail that pulls out another nail, your medicine
I'm the one with whom you forgot the one you loved
And the one you would love, I already knew it
And there's no remedy, I wasn't only the interlude, me
It hurts me and that's how I am to you
I was only the consolation for the love you were losing
A nail that pulls out another nail, your medicine
I was only the consolation for the love you were losing
A nail that pulls out another nail, your medicine
I'm the one with whom you forgot the one you loved
And the one you would love
I already knew it
I already knew it
I already knew it
I'm the one with whom you forgot the one you loved
And the one you'll love
I would never be

SONG MEANING

Clavo Que Saca Otro Clavo paints the bittersweet picture of being someone’s rebound. Paty Cantú’s narrator walks into the relationship with eyes wide open, aware that her partner’s heart is still shattered by a past love. The Spanish saying “un clavo saca otro clavo” literally means “one nail pulls out another nail” – as if a new crush could yank out the pain left by the old one. She hopes the fantasy of real love might blossom, yet deep down she already knows she is only the medicine that helps him forget “la que querías.”

By repeating “Ya lo sabía” (I already knew), the singer confesses both her complicity and her heartbreak. The song explores self-deception, the futility of fighting a “war already lost,” and the sting of realizing you were just the intermedio between his loves. With catchy pop hooks and honest lyrics, Paty Cantú turns the universal rebound experience into an anthem about recognizing your worth, learning from the hurt, and deciding you will never again settle for being “solo el consuelo del amor que perdías.”
