Que Te Vaya Bonito Lyrics in English José Alfredo Jiménez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Que Te Vaya Bonito by José Alfredo Jiménez from Spanish to English.
Ojalá que te vaya bonito
I hope you do well
Ojalá que se acaben tus penas
I hope your sorrows end
Que te digan que yo ya no existo
That they tell you I no longer exist
Y conozcas personas más buenas
And you meet better people
Que te den lo que no pude darte
That they give you what I couldn't give you
Aunque yo te haya dado de todo
Even though I gave you everything
Nunca más volveré a molestarte
I'll never bother you again
Te adoré, te perdí, ya ni modo
I adored you, I lost you, oh well
Cuántas cosas quedaron prendidas
How many things remained burning
Hasta dentro del fondo de mi alma
Even deep within my soul
Cuántas luces dejaste encendidas
How many lights you left on
Yo no sé cómo voy a apagarlas
I don't know how I'm going to turn them off
Amor, que te vaya bonito amor
My love, I hope you do well, my love
Ojalá que mi amor no te duela
I hope my love doesn't hurt you
Y te olvides de mí para siempre
And you forget about me forever
Que se llenen de sangre tus venas
May your veins be full of life
Y te vista la vida de suerte
And life dresses you in luck
Yo no sé si tu ausencia me mate
I don't know if your absence kills me
Aunque tengo mi pecho de acero
Even though I have a chest of steel
Pero nadie me llame cobarde
But nobody calls me a coward
Sin saber hasta donde la quiero
Without knowing how much I love her
Cuántas cosas quedaron prendidas
How many things remained burning
Hasta dentro del fondo de mi alma
Even deep within my soul
Cuántas luces dejaste encendidas
How many lights you left on
Yo no sé cómo voy a apagarlas
I don't know how I'm going to turn them off
Ojalá que te vaya bonito
I hope you do well

prendidas — lit / ignited / burning
Prendidas comes from the verb prender, which means to light, ignite, or turn on. While it can refer to physically lighting something, it often carries a more metaphorical meaning in songs.
In "Que Te Vaya Bonito," José Alfredo Jiménez uses prendidas to describe how memories and emotions remain 'lit' or 'burning' within his soul: "Cuántas cosas quedaron prendidas hasta dentro del fondo de mi alma" (How many things remained lit deep within my soul). It beautifully conveys the lasting impact of a past love, making it a poignant and memorable word.
