Quise Quererte Lyrics in English Joaquina

Home / Lyrics Translation / Joaquina / Quise Quererte

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quise Quererte by Joaquina from Spanish to English.

It seems that you enjoy it

Believing that you ruined my life with that innocent little face

When I least expected it

You drove a knife into my back while you hugged me

What happened to you?

I told you all my secrets

I let you in

Into my house and you set it on fire

With such pretty words so full of poison

It's fine if you swallow the story

That the world turns and you are the center

I knew how to love you, time will tell you that

It's fine if you lie to yourself

Maybe that takes away your remorse

I wanted to love you and I don't regret it

We were inseparable

How strange that things change

The girls that played in the park

I pictured you in my plans

But in your future I was always a corpse

I saw you fall

I gave you my hand

And you threw me to the ground

I let you in

Into my house and you set it on fire

With such pretty words so full of poison

It's fine if you swallow the story

That the world turns and you are the center

I knew how to love you, time will tell you that

It's fine if you lie to yourself

Maybe that takes away your remorse

I wanted to love you and I don't regret it

I'll still choose

The best photos

When I tell the story of us

I'll keep your laughter

And after all the damage

The version of you that I do know

I wanted to love you, time will tell you that

It's fine

I expect nothing from you, nothing is the same

And it doesn't have to be

I wanted

To love you

And I don't regret it

SONG MEANING

Quise Quererte paints a vivid picture of a friendship transformed into heartbreak. Joaquina reflects on a once inseparable bond with someone who, behind a mask of innocence, betrayed her deepest trust. The lyrics describe friendly hugs that hid sharp knives, sweet words laced with poison, and a home figuratively set on fire. Even so, the singer owns her past kindness, repeating, "Yo quise quererte y no me arrepiento" – she tried to love and does not regret it.

Rather than wallow in bitterness, the song turns betrayal into self-affirmation. Joaquina calls out her ex-friend’s self-centered illusions, yet she chooses to remember the laughter, to keep the good photos, and to move forward lighter and wiser. Quise Quererte is both a lament and a declaration of strength: it reminds us that caring is never a mistake, the passing of time will reveal the truth, and healing begins by refusing to carry someone else’s guilt.
