Si Tú Te Vas Lyrics in English Leo Mattioli
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Si Tú Te Vas by Leo Mattioli from Spanish to English.
Sentí de pronto
I suddenly felt
Que tu cariño se iba muriendo
That your love was dying
Como las aves
Like the birds
Que por los mares se van perdiendo
That get lost over the seas
Sentí muy dentro
I felt deep inside
Pero muy dentro, que ya te ibas
But very deep inside, that you were already leaving
Pero no quise
But I didn't want
Decirte nada, tú decidías
To tell you anything, you decided
Si tú te vas lejos de mí, será mi suerte
If you leave far from me, it will be my fate
Ningún rencor yo sentiré, solo la muerte
I'll feel no resentment, only death
Si tú te vas, mi alma será solo despojos
If you leave, my soul will be only ruins
Si tú te vas, van a llorar mis tristes ojos
If you leave, my sad eyes will cry
Si tú te vas lejos de mí, será mi suerte
If you leave far from me, it will be my fate
Ningún rencor yo sentiré, solo la muerte
I'll feel no resentment, only death
Si tú te vas, mi alma será solo despojos
If you leave, my soul will be only ruins
Si tú te vas, van a llorar mis tristes ojos
If you leave, my sad eyes will cry
Did you like this lyrics translation?
despojos — remains / spoils
Despojos literally translates to "remains" or "spoils," often referring to what is left after something has been destroyed or taken away. It's a strong, somewhat dramatic word not commonly found in everyday conversation.
In "Si Tú Te Vas," Leo Mattioli uses despojos to express the profound emptiness and devastation he would feel if his beloved left him. He sings, "Si tú te vas, mi alma será solo despojos" (If you leave, my soul will be only remains), conveying a sense of utter ruin and loss, as if his very essence would be stripped away.
