La Que Se Fue Lyrics in English by Vicente Fernández
Maldito translates to "cursed" or "damned." It's a strong, evocative word that immediately grabs attention and suggests a deeper, more dramatic narrative.
In "La Que Se Fue," Vicente Fernández uses "dinero maldito" (cursed money) to express the bitterness and emptiness he feels despite having wealth. He implies that his money is a source of sorrow rather than happiness because it cannot bring back the woman he loves, making it a powerful symbol of his emotional pain.
Vicente Fernández's "La Que Se Fue" is a powerful song about a man who has everything—money, pleasure, and a life of luxury—but feels completely empty without the woman he loves. He sings, "Tengo dinero en el mundo, Dinero maldito que nada vale" [I have money in the world, Cursed money that is worth nothing], making it clear that his wealth means nothing when his soul is lost and without faith. He remembers a time when he was poor and never cried, but now, despite his riches, he suffers a deep sorrow that "ni Dios la sabe" [not even God knows].
He can buy a thousand women and a life of great pleasure, but he knows that "el cariño comprado, Ni sabe querernos ni puede ser fiel" [bought affection, Neither knows how to love us nor can be faithful]. All he truly wants is for the woman who left him to return: "Yo lo que quiero es que vuelva, Que vuelva conmigo la que se fue" [All I want is for her to come back, For the one who left to come back with me]. He's even willing to cry for her for his entire life if necessary. It's a raw and honest look at how love can be more valuable than any material possession.
