Historia Repetida Lyrics (English Translation) – Kany García

[Verse 1]
You with that desire you had to run away
And I already smelled that this was close to the end
What we built so much has already been blown away by the wind
The very thing I was most afraid of has happened to me again.

[Chorus]
And I already told me, that you would become a necessary evil
I already warned me, that it would hurt me to sleep on your lips
I already repeated myself, and I did exactly the opposite
Not you, not me, not you, not me

[Verse 2]
We are to blame for what has happened
You wanted to love me and I already loved you
I had you badly accustomed to your crumbs satisfying me
You looking for strength to love me, but so close to the exit
So many people have experienced this, we are a repeated story

[Chorus]
I already told me, that you would become a necessary evil
I already warned myself, that it would hurt me to sleep on your lips
I was already repeating myself, and I was doing exactly the opposite
Neither you, nor me, nor you, nor me

[Chorus]
If I already told me, you would become a necessary evil
I already warned me, that it would hurt me to sleep on your lips
I was already repeating myself, and I was doing exactly the opposite
Neither you, nor me, nor you, nor me

[Outro]
Neither you, nor me, nor you, nor me

“Historia Repetida (English Translation)” by Kany García narrates the cycle of repeating mistakes in a relationship. The lyrics express a sense of inevitability as the protagonist predicts and experiences the pain of the relationship’s demise. Despite knowing the outcome, they find themselves unable to break free from the pattern of hurt and disappointment. The song reflects on the blame shared by both parties and the realization that they are trapped in a familiar, yet destructive, cycle of love and loss.

[Verse 1]
The verse reflects on the recognition of impending doom in a relationship. The protagonist senses their partner’s desire to leave, symbolized by a metaphorical “smell.” Despite investing much into the relationship, it feels as if everything they’ve built has vanished, echoing a familiar fear of abandonment.

[Chorus]
Here, the protagonist acknowledges their own warnings and intuition about the relationship’s negative trajectory. Despite knowing the potential harm and repeating their concerns to themselves, they find themselves unable to break the pattern of destructive behavior, resulting in mutual hurt and denial.

[Verse 2]
In this verse, the blame is internalized, with both partners accepting responsibility for the relationship’s downfall. The protagonist recognizes the mismatched levels of affection and effort, with one partner seeking love while the other settles for inadequate affection, creating a dynamic of dissatisfaction and eventual departure.

[Chorus]
Similar to the previous chorus, the protagonist reiterates their warnings and self-awareness about the toxic nature of the relationship. Despite recognizing the need for change, they continue to act contrary to their own best interests, leading to a cycle of pain and regret.

[Chorus]
This chorus emphasizes the inevitability of the situation, with the protagonist resigned to the repeated mistakes despite knowing the consequences. The use of repetition underscores the futile nature of their actions, ultimately resulting in mutual suffering and an inability to break free from the destructive cycle.

[Outro]
The outro echoes the sentiment of mutual responsibility and resignation, emphasizing the shared burden of the relationship’s failure. Despite the blame being shared between both partners, there’s a sense of acceptance and finality, symbolized by the repetition of “neither you, nor me,” signifying a stalemate in their shared narrative.
