Verse 1
I've nothing more left
In this context: I have no other choice now
Than lose myself in an abyss of sadness and tears
I've nothing more left
Than endure well my defeat and toast you happiness
Or: Than to bear my loss gracefully and wish you happiness
I've nothing more left
If your return today would be an impossibility
Or: If you returning today is impossible
And this that was not love
Or: And this (love) that (you say) was not love
That you deny today, what you say that never happened
Or: (Our love) that you deny, and say that it never happened
It's the sweetest memory of my life
Chorus 1
I had a hope
Deep in my soul
Lit: In the bottom of my soul. Similar to the English: from the bottom of my heart
That one day you'd stay with me
And I still had a hope
Or: And I was still keeping an illusion / dream / hope
That fed the heart
Or: Which was feeding my heart
My heart that today has to see you as only a friend
And although I lived in love
And totally mistaken
It doesn't matter to me
Or: I don't care / I don't mind
Because this yes was love
Or: Because this really was love
For my part, the most beautiful
Or: For me, the most beautiful
The greatest love
And although you always renounce it, for me
Or: And even if you'll always turn your back on it
It was the most beautiful
Chorus 2
I had a hope
Deep in my soul
That one day you'd stay with me
And I still had a hope
That fed the heart
My heart that today has to see you as only a friend
And although I lived in love
And totally mistaken
It doesn't matter to me
Because this yes was love
For my part, the most beautiful
The greatest love
And although you always renounce it, for me
It was the most beautiful
It was the most beautiful

SONG MEANING

Selena’s classic Cumbia ballad "No Me Queda Más" dives head-first into the bittersweet moment when love slips away. The singer accepts that her dream of being with the person she adores is over, so she chooses the only paths left: tears, memories, and a brave smile for the one who broke her heart. Even though the other person denies the romance ever existed, the narrator treasures it as the sweetest chapter of her life. The upbeat Cumbia rhythm keeps listeners dancing, yet the lyrics unfold a story of quiet surrender and unshakable devotion.

At its core, the song celebrates unconditional love. Selena’s voice confesses that she was “totally mistaken” about the future of the relationship, but she still calls it the greatest love she has ever known. She lets go, wishes happiness to her former partner, and lowers her expectations from soul mate to just a friend, proving that real love sometimes means cheering from the sidelines. The mix of lively percussion and heartfelt words creates a soundtrack for anyone who has had to smile through goodbye while holding on to beautiful memories.
