Yo Me Voy Lyrics in English Selena

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Yo Me Voy by Selena from Spanish to English.
I know that you
had something to tell me
and you can't figure out how to do it
maybe because you feel scared
since you sure know how to hurt me
I know that you
you can't figure out how to say goodbye to me
so don't feel sorry for me
I'll solve your problem
that my pride is very firm
I'm leaving
I'm leaving if you don't love me anymore
before you say it to me, no, no
I'd rather leave
stay calm
because I'm already going
I'm leaving if you don't love me anymore
may you enjoy the pleasures
that the loves grant you
from your most recent love
I know that you
had something to tell me
and you can't figure out how to do it
maybe because you feel scared
since you sure know how to hurt me
I know that you
you can't figure out how to say goodbye to me
so don't feel sorry for me
I'll solve your problem
that my pride is very firm
I'm leaving
I'm leaving if you don't love me anymore
before you say it to me, no, no
I'd rather leave
stay calm
because I'm already going
I'm leaving if you don't love me anymore
may you enjoy the pleasures
that the loves grant you
from your most recent love, from your most recent love, from your most recent love

SONG MEANING

“Yo Me Voy” is Selena’s vibrant farewell anthem that turns heartbreak into a moment of empowered self-respect. Realizing her partner is too scared to admit he no longer loves her, the singer beats him to the punch: she packs her pride, wishes him well with his “más reciente amor,” and walks away on her own terms. Rather than wallow in sorrow, she delivers a confident message—I’m leaving before you hurt me—and invites listeners to feel the rush of reclaiming their dignity.

The song blends bittersweet emotion with a catchy, upbeat groove that makes you want to dance while waving goodbye. By choosing action over tears, Selena paints break-ups as opportunities for growth and self-love. It’s a musical reminder that sometimes the strongest move is simply to say “thanks for the memories” and step boldly into whatever adventure comes next.
