Intro

I just wanted to let you know that

Maybe it's not the best way but

That in the same way that I respected your first goodbye

I hope that you also respect that

That this time it's me who wants to leave

And that, I only hope that you can someday manage to find yourself

And that you recognize one single thing, that I'm the only one who has loved you, goodbye

Chorus 1

Goodbye, I went far from you

I swam what I cried, but I arrived

I just wanted before leaving

To tell you that someday I'll love again

And if until that day I have to cry

You won't hear from me, I can assure you

And if someday things go wrong

And you need a shoulder to cry on

You can call

Chorus 1

Maybe you'll want me to come back and it'll be too late already

Goodbye, I went far from you

I swam what I cried, but I arrived

I just wanted before leaving

To tell you that someday I'll love again

And if until that day I have to cry

You won't hear from me, I can assure you

And if someday things go wrong

And you need a shoulder to cry on

You can call

Chorus 1

Maybe you'll want me to come back and it'll be too late already

Outro

And I admit one thing, that

Maybe time will pass

And I don't find someone to share with

But I'll keep fighting

But to this war, yours and mine

I can't say yes anymore

Outro

I'll follow my path, follow yours, goodbye

It'll be too late already

Eliel

Goodbye

SONG MEANING

“Adiós” is Don Omar’s heartfelt farewell, wrapped in a vibrant reggaetón beat. From the very first lines he flips the script on the usual breakup tale: this time he is the one walking away. The Puerto Rican superstar speaks directly to his ex, asking for the same respect he once showed her and wishing that she will someday “meet herself” and realize he was the one who truly loved her. It is a bittersweet mix of strength and vulnerability—he swims through his own tears, reaches the shore of self-respect, and promises that although he will love again, she will no longer know his whereabouts.

Beneath the catchy rhythm lies a powerful message about moving on. Don Omar paints two possible futures: she may miss him and call when life gets rough, but if that moment comes it will already be “tarde ya” (too late). The song celebrates personal growth, the courage to end a “war” that hurts both sides, and the resolve to keep walking forward. In short, “Adiós” transforms a goodbye into an anthem of dignity, healing, and the hope of finding new love on the horizon.
