Cuando te vallas

Rocío Durcal's song 'Cuando te vallas' is a poignant exploration of love, loss, and the emotional turmoil that accompanies the departure of a loved one. The lyrics convey a deep sense of despair and confusion as the singer grapples with the impending absence of their beloved. The repeated question, 'Amor que voy a hacer que voy a hacer si ti cuando te vallas,' underscores the singer's desperation and inability to envision a life without their partner. This line sets the tone for the entire song, highlighting the emotional dependency and the fear of loneliness that the singer feels.

The song delves into the reasons behind the departure, with the singer expressing bewilderment and a sense of betrayal. The line 'Me dices que te vas y yo no se porque tu me abandonas' reflects the singer's confusion and hurt, as they cannot comprehend why their partner is leaving. This sentiment is further emphasized by the plea for forgiveness and understanding, 'que culpa tengo yo de amarte tanto asi amor perdona,' suggesting that the singer's intense love might be the reason for the departure, yet they seek absolution for loving so deeply.

In a desperate attempt to prevent the departure, the singer makes a heartfelt plea, 'Espera por favor porque te vas a ir precisamente ahora que empiezo a ser feliz.' This line captures the tragic irony of the situation, as the singer has just begun to find happiness, only to face the prospect of losing it. The song concludes with a promise to change, 'Si amarte es mi herror entonces desde hoy ya no te amare tan solo te querre,' indicating the singer's willingness to alter their behavior in a bid to keep their loved one from leaving. This final plea encapsulates the theme of sacrifice and the lengths one is willing to go to preserve a cherished relationship.
