Ya Te Olvidé Lyrics in English by Natanael Cano
Inhumano is a powerful adjective that literally means "inhuman." It's used to describe someone who is exceptionally cruel, brutal, or lacking any compassion, as if they are not even human.
In this song about heartbreak, the singer uses this word to describe his ex, singing "Me enseñaste lo inhumano... que puedes ser" (You showed me how inhuman you can be). This intense word choice reveals the depth of the pain and betrayal he experienced, making it a key part of his journey to finally forgetting her.
Natanael Cano takes on a classic breakup anthem, bringing his signature corridos tumbados energy to a dramatic declaration of freedom. The title says it all: "Ya Te Olvidé" ("I already forgot you"). He makes it clear that the toxic hold an ex had over him is completely broken. Instead of moping around, he celebrates getting his independence back with the line, "Vuelvo a ser libre, otra vez / Vuelvo a volar hacia mi vida" ("I am free again / I fly back toward my life"). The relationship was full of manipulation, and he calls it out directly: "Me atrapaste, me tuviste entre tus manos / Me enseñaste lo inhumano y lo infeliz que puedes ser" ("You trapped me, you held me in your hands / You showed me how inhumane and unhappy you can be").
The best part of the track is how blunt he gets when calling out his ex's oversized ego. She assumed he would come crawling back on his knees, telling him, "Que después iría a rogarte y a pedirte 'bésame'" ("That later I would come begging you and asking you to 'kiss me'"). Instead, he actively fought against his own lingering feelings: "Yo luché contra el amor que te tenía y se fue" ("I fought against the love I had for you and it went away"). If you've ever had the ultimate satisfaction of proving an arrogant ex wrong, this track speaks your language.
