Translation: "So that you stay happy" or "In order for you to remain content."

This line explains the reason for the action in the preceding line, "Contengo todo adentro" (I hold everything inside).

- **Para que**: This is a key phrase that means "so that" or "in order that." It introduces a purpose or a goal and requires the following verb to be in the subjunctive mood.
- **te**: The informal pronoun for "you."
- **quedes**: From the verb "quedar" (to stay, to remain). It's in the subjunctive form ("quedes" instead of the indicative "quedas") because the phrase "para que" expresses a desired outcome, not a certainty. So, "te quedes" translates to "you stay."
- **contento**: An adjective meaning "happy," "pleased," or "content."

Contextually, this line is emotionally charged. The speaker is explaining that they are suppressing their own difficult feelings—their "desire to cry"—for the specific purpose of keeping another person happy. It implies a personal sacrifice to maintain peace or contentment in a relationship.
