Tú No Quieres Lyrics in English by Adolescent's Orquesta
Atormentarte means “to torment you” or “to cause you anguish.” It combines atormentar (“to torment”) with te (“you”), and in the song it describes how dwelling on the past can continue to hurt and trouble someone emotionally.
Adolescent's Orquesta's “Tú No Quieres” is a plea from someone who still wants closeness: “en mis brazos, besarte, llamarte” [in my arms, to kiss you, to call you]. The singer asks this person to stop letting old mistakes control the present. “Lo que pasó, pasó” [what happened, happened] is wonderfully blunt: the past should be finished, not carried into every new moment. Still, the other person keeps looking back, and the singer feels the cost of that distance: “cuando no estás a mi lado, siento un vacío” [when you are not by my side, I feel an emptiness].
The title, “Tú No Quieres,” means “You Don’t Want To.” In the song, those words point to the other person’s refusal to forgive, forget, or move forward. The singer says that love and hate both live in this painful situation, while loneliness makes life unbearable: “no puedo vivir si no estás conmigo” [I can’t live if you are not with me]. The central request is simple, even if the relationship is not: leave the past behind, accept forgiveness, and allow happiness back into the heart. It is romantic, pleading, and a little impatient, especially when the singer keeps repeating that remembering the past only makes both people suffer.
