Spanish Lyrics Original Translation Bilingual
For all the times that you rained on my parade Por todas las veces que me aguaste la fiesta And all the clubs you get in using my name Y por todos los clubes a los que entraste usando mi nombre You think you broke my heart, oh, girl, for goodness' sake Crees que me rompiste el corazón, ay, chica, por favor You think I'm crying on my own, well, I ain't Crees que estoy llorando a solas, pues no es así And I didn't wanna write a song Y no quería escribir una canción 'Cause I didn't want anyone thinkin' I still care, I don't, but Porque no quería que nadie pensara que aún me importas; no es así, pero You still hit my phone up Sigues llamándome And baby, I'll be movin' on Y, cariño, yo voy a seguir adelante And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back Y creo que deberías ser algo que no quiero guardarme Maybe you should know that Quizá deberías saber que My mama don't like you and she likes everyone A mi mamá no le caes bien, y a ella le cae bien todo el mundo And I never like to admit that I was wrong Y nunca me gusta admitir que me equivoqué And I've been so caught up in my job Y he estado tan absorto en mi trabajo Didn't see what's going on, but now I know Que no vi lo que estaba pasando, pero ahora lo sé I'm better sleeping on my own Estoy mejor durmiendo solo 'Cause if you like the way you look that much Porque si te gusta tanto cómo te ves Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself Ay, cariño, deberías ir a quererte a ti misma And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin' Y si crees que todavía me aferro a algo You should go and love yourself Deberías ir a quererte a ti misma But when you told me that you hated my friends Pero cuando me dijiste que odiabas a mis amigos The only problem was with you and not them El único problema eras tú, no ellos And every time you told me my opinion was wrong Y cada vez que me decías que mi opinión estaba equivocada And tried to make me forget where I came from Y tratabas de hacerme olvidar de dónde venía And I didn't wanna write a song Y no quería escribir una canción 'Cause I didn't want anyone thinkin' I still care, I don't, but Porque no quería que nadie pensara que aún me importas; no es así, pero You still hit my phone up Sigues llamándome And baby, I'll be movin' on Y, cariño, yo voy a seguir adelante And I think you should be somethin' I don't wanna hold back Y creo que deberías ser algo que no quiero guardarme Maybe you should know that Quizá deberías saber que My mama don't like you and she likes everyone A mi mamá no le caes bien, y a ella le cae bien todo el mundo And I never like to admit that I was wrong Y nunca me gusta admitir que me equivoqué And I've been so caught up in my job Y he estado tan absorto en mi trabajo Didn't see what's going on, but now I know Que no vi lo que estaba pasando, pero ahora lo sé I'm better sleeping on my own Estoy mejor durmiendo solo 'Cause if you like the way you look that much Porque si te gusta tanto cómo te ves Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself Ay, cariño, deberías ir a quererte a ti misma And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin' Y si crees que todavía me aferro a algo You should go and love yourself Deberías ir a quererte a ti misma For all the times that you made me feel small Por todas las veces que me hiciste sentir insignificante I fell in love, now I feel nothin' at all Me enamoré y ahora no siento nada I never felt so low and I was vulnerable Nunca me había sentido tan hundido, y estaba vulnerable Was I a fool to let you break down my walls? ¿Fui un tonto por dejar que derribaras mis defensas? 'Cause if you like the way you look that much Porque si te gusta tanto cómo te ves Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself Ay, cariño, deberías ir a quererte a ti misma And if you think that I'm still holdin' on to somethin' Y si crees que todavía me aferro a algo You should go and love yourself Deberías ir a quererte a ti misma 'Cause if you like the way you look that much Porque si te gusta tanto cómo te ves Oh, baby, you should go and love yourself (yeah) Ay, cariño, deberías ir a quererte a ti misma (sí) And if you think (you think) that I'm (that I'm) Y si crees (crees) que yo (que yo) Still holdin' on to somethin' (holdin' on, no) Todavía me aferro a algo (me aferro, no) You should go and love yourself Deberías ir a quererte a ti misma
Lyrics meaning The speaker describes ending a relationship with someone who, in his view, was selfish and dismissive. At first he insists he is not hurt and does not still care, presenting himself as ready to move on. Later, he admits that the relationship once made him feel small and vulnerable. The shift suggests that his confident tone may cover real pain, even as he chooses independence.
Several images explain the conflict. “Rained on my parade” means spoiling someone’s happiness or plans. “Break down my walls” suggests becoming emotionally open and trusting someone, which made the speaker feel exposed. The repeated phrase “go and love yourself” sounds like advice to value oneself, but in this argument it is also a cutting way to tell the other person to leave and focus on themselves.
The speaker gives examples of controlling behavior: the partner criticized his friends and opinions and tried to make him forget where he came from. His mother’s dislike of the partner is presented as evidence, though it is still only his perspective. The song balances resentment with self-reflection: he recognizes that he did not notice the problems sooner and wonders whether trusting the person was foolish. His claim that he feels “nothing” sits uneasily beside these memories, leaving open whether he is fully over the relationship or still working through it.
