Chorus 1

I promise you not to cry

Or: I promise I won't cry

To wait for you and not forget

Give me one last kiss that makes me dream

Or: Give me one last kiss that would make me dream. 'Regalar' is to give something as a gift (regalo).

And this scream of pain

Will never silence this love

I prefer to live waiting than to accept that you're not here

Or: I'd rather live waiting to accept that you're not here

I love you so much, love

You don't know how much, love

Why are you leaving?

Verse 1

Why did you forget the reasons for being here?

Why did you leave the words that I wanted to tell you?

They already told me to forget you

That time heals you and continues, but you're still here

They've already told me that love doesn't kill

But yes it hurts, and it hurts so much

Or: But it does hurt, and it hurts so much

That inside you die

Nothing matters to me if you don't love me

And even though you already left, I want you to stay

And even though you're gone, I want you to stay

Chorus 2

I promise you not to cry

Or: I promise I won't cry

To wait for you and not forget

Give me one last kiss that makes me dream

Or: Give me one last kiss that would make me dream. 'Regalar' is to give something as a gift (regalo).

And this scream of pain

Will never silence this love

I prefer to live waiting than to accept that you're not here

Or: I'd rather live waiting to accept that you're not here

I love you so much, love

You don't know how much, love

Why are you leaving? Why are you leaving?

Tell me, why are you leaving?

Or: Tell me why you're leaving

Why are you leaving? Why are you leaving?

Tell me, why are you leaving?

Verse 2

A huge void remained when you left

Or: There was such a big void when you left

False promises and dreams that don't exist anymore

Or: False promises and dreams that no longer exist

Eternal summer, springs in winter

I neglected the flame of love and it became hell

Or: I neglected the flame of love and it became an inferno

I can't stop you and still I try

Or: I can't stop you and even so I still try it

It wasn't my fault and still I say I'm sorry

Or: It wasn't my fault and even so I say I'm sorry

I'm sorry I'm not enough, I'm sorry that among so many people

Even though 'siento' could be translated as 'I feel', it seems that the singer is saying 'I am sorry for not being enough'. In Spanish, 'sentir' also has the meaning of 'feeling regret' over something.

I chose to fall in love with the one that today goes with the wind

'Se lleva el viento' could mean 'someone who is not stable', although it's not very clear what the exact meaning of the expression is in this context, but I think something like 'gone with the wind' fits the theme of song: leaving.

Chorus 3

I promise you not to cry

Or: I promise I won't cry

To wait for you and not forget

Give me one last kiss that makes me dream

Or: Give me one last kiss that would make me dream. 'Regalar' is to give something as a gift (regalo).

And this scream of pain

Will never silence this love

I prefer to live waiting than to accept that you're not here

Or: I'd rather live waiting to accept that you're not here

I love you so much, love

You don't know how much, love

Why are you leaving? Why are you leaving?

Tell me, why are you leaving?

Why are you leaving? Why are you leaving?

Tell me, why are you leaving?

Chorus 4

I promise you not to cry

To wait for you and not forget

Give me one last kiss that makes me dream

And this scream of pain

Will never silence this love

I prefer to live waiting than to accept that you're not here

I love you so much, love

You don't know how much, love

Why are you leaving?

SONG MEANING

“Por Qué Te Vas” teams Argentine pop powerhouse TINI with Colombian hit-makers Cali Y El Dandee, and the result is a sparkling heartbreak anthem you can both dance and cry to. Over catchy beats, the singers play the role of a lover who just got abandoned without explanation. They promise “no llorar” (not to cry) yet beg for one last kiss, admitting they would rather wait forever than accept the painful truth. Each chorus circles back to the burning question “¿Por qué te vas?”—why are you leaving?—capturing that universal moment when love ends but feelings refuse to disappear.

The lyrics swing between hope and despair: friends say time heals everything, but the emptiness is huge; summer memories turn to winter inside the heart; guilt and regret mix with stubborn devotion. Even as the beat stays upbeat, the song’s core emotion is raw longing. It reminds listeners that breakups can feel like living in two worlds at once—one where the party goes on, and another where the only thing that matters is the answer to “why did you go?”
