Si El Destino Quiso Lyrics in English by Regulo Caro
This song is a really honest look at trying to move on from someone you still love. The singer talks about trying to live without this person, to forget them and be happy, even though they admit, "aunque siempre digo que ya no te quiero, la verdad que quiero y más de lo que quiero" [even though I always say I don't love you anymore, the truth is I do, and more than I want to]. It's that classic struggle of your head saying one thing and your heart saying another.
They feel like fate wanted them to love this person, asking, "dime quién soy yo para no hacerle caso" [tell me, who am I not to listen to it?]. But following their heart is leading them "camino al fracaso" [down the road to failure]. The singer even talks about how hard it is to lie to themselves, saying "no me preguntes qué es lo que se siente mentirme a mí mismo si beso su frente para no llorar, hay que ser valiente y muy especial cuando te tengo enfrente" [don't ask me what it feels like to lie to myself if I kiss your forehead not to cry, you have to be brave and very special when I have you in front of me]. It's a powerful picture of trying to hold it together when you're right there with the person you're trying to get over.
