Adiós Lyrics in English by Sebastian Yatra

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Adiós by Sebastian Yatra from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

Look, if life were easy I'd have a thousand more loves

And you, for sure, would have another that makes you sigh

Look, if the days didn't count I wouldn't have to leave you behind

But it's late, it's already too late and this hurts

I must go

I don't want to go

I have to go

I don't want to leave

I must move away

I have to change

I have to dream, you have to dream, and we must arrive

Chorus 1

And although we said goodbye

We never said goodbye

Chorus 1

When you ask me for forgiveness

I ask you for forgiveness

Chorus 1

So much light

That went out

Chorus 1

And I'm sure that two

Don't survive with only one heart

Chorus 1

To hug each other

Chorus 2

To look at each other

To lose each other

So much, life hurts so much without you

It hurts so much, what can I tell you

It hurts so much that I don't want to live

Could it be that it's wrong to say it?

I think that maybe I'm not for you

I think that perhaps you forgot about me

And it's easy like that, when you dream again

People are shouting in the street

People are saying don't stop

Don't stop

If you hear noise, don't stop

And although we said goodbye

Let's never say goodbye

When you ask me for forgiveness

I ask you for forgiveness

So much light that went out

And I'm sure that two

Don't survive with only one heart

To hug each other, to look at each other

To lose each other

Look, if life were easy I'd have a thousand more loves

And you for sure would have another

That makes you sigh

suspirar — to sigh

Suspirar literally means "to sigh". It's a beautifully evocative word you'll often hear in romantic songs and poetry to express deep emotion.

In the lyrics, Sebastián Yatra mentions finding someone "que te haga suspirar" (who makes you sigh). This phrase describes a person who inspires such powerful feelings of love, longing, or passion that they quite literally take your breath away. It perfectly captures the tender, heartfelt emotion of this ballad.

This song is about a breakup that feels completely wrong, but also completely necessary. Sebastian Yatra starts by imagining an easier world: "Mira si la vida fuera fácil yo tendría mil amores más" (Look, if life were easy I'd have a thousand more loves). But life isn't easy, and he has to leave someone he loves. The song is full of this painful conflict, repeating the lines "Me debo ir / No me quiero ir" (I must go / I don't want to go). It's a goodbye that doesn't feel like a real goodbye, because the love is still there.

So why are they breaking up? He gives a powerful reason: "estoy seguro que dos / No sobreviven con solo un corazón" (I'm sure that two people / can't survive with only one heart). He feels they've become so close that they've lost themselves. The separation is a painful step towards individual growth, so they can both pursue their own dreams. It's a mature, but heartbreaking, look at a relationship where love alone isn't enough to make it work.
