Qué He Sacado Con Quererte Lyrics in English Natalia Lafourcade , Los Macorinos

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Qué He Sacado Con Quererte by Natalia Lafourcade from Spanish to English.
What have I gained with the moon
that we both looked at together?
What have I gained with the names
stamped on the wall?
As the calendar changes
everything in this world changes
What have I gained with the lily
that we planted in the yard?
It wasn't one who planted
it was two lovers
Gardener, your planting
hasn't changed with time
What have I gained with the shadow
of the acacia as witness
and the four feet marked
on the edge of the road?
What have I gained by loving you
little blooming carnation?
Here's the same moon
in the yard the white lily
the two names on the wall
and your trail on the road
but you, ungrateful dove
no longer coo in my nest

SONG MEANING

“Qué He Sacado Con Quererte” feels like opening an old memory box. Natalia Lafourcade’s velvety voice, backed by the gentle guitars of Los Macorinos, walks us through a garden of souvenirs: the shared moon, names scratched on a wall, a white lily that once grew for two. Each image is a keepsake of a love that seemed eternal, yet the singer now stands alone, asking the heartbreaking question: What did I gain by loving you?

The song turns everyday objects into emotional landmarks. The moon still shines, the flower still blooms, even the footprints on the path remain, but their magic has faded because the “palomo ingrato” has flown away. In just a few verses, Lafourcade reminds us how love can leave the world looking exactly the same while feeling completely different. The melody is sweet, the lyrics are bittersweet, and together they create a poetic lesson on how time can preserve memories but not always the people who made them sparkle.
