No Es Justo Lyrics (English Translation) – Xavibo
So that in another life it would go well
In this one it had to go wrong for us
We didn’t know how to be together
We didn’t know how to be apart
Your dad died, I went to his funeral
I promised your mom I’d take care of you
And I always keep my promises
But I can’t if you leave me incomplete
And I haven’t been the same since
Your presence haunts me at night
And your absence leaves me with a huge void
So much so that I think of you and hear your name echoing
And it’s not fair
that moving forward feels like betraying you
I swear it’s not fair
that meeting someone feels like letting you down
I swear it’s not fair
that your gaze pushes me into a corner
That you always wrap your heart in cotton wool
That I distance myself from what makes me better
And I don’t commit for fear of being abandoned
How do I remove this Laura Zadig from my clothes
From my head the work of Marina Abramovic
The kisses I didn’t give you
That black skirt with The one I died when I saw you C I avoided your street in Madrid
Of my songs, the one you liked
I guess so, that all I have to do is admit
That the one who made me cry the worst
Was the one who made me laugh the best
And it’s not fair
That moving forward feels like betraying you
I swear it’s not fair
That meeting someone feels like failing you
I swear it’s not fair
That your gaze corners me
That I always carry my heart wrapped in cotton wool
That I distance myself from what makes me better
And I don’t commit for fear of being abandoned
I always crash into what’s ahead
By looking back
If this sky isn’t going to clear up
Why do I keep going out to wait?
I accidentally said that you were leaving
It hurt me not having had to give
If you’re blowing everything up
Why is my head still the same? It’s not fair that moving forward feels like betraying you, I swear it’s not fair
That meeting someone feels like letting you down
I swear it’s not fair
That your gaze corners me
That you always wrap your heart in cotton wool
That I distance myself from what makes me better
And I don’t commit for fear of you abandoning me
It’s not fair

✍️ Step-by-Step Breakdown
🎭 First Verse
“Para que en otra vida salga bien / En esta tuvo que salirnos mal…”
- The song starts with a bittersweet acceptance: maybe failure in this life is necessary for success in another.
- Their love couldn’t survive — not together, not apart.
- The death of the loved one’s father intensifies the connection, but also the burden: he promised to care for her but feels unable to fulfill it after the breakup.
“No he vuelto a ser el mismo desde entonces…”
- After separation, the speaker is haunted by her presence and hollowed by her absence.
- The pain is so profound that even her name echoes in his mind.
⚡ First Chorus
“Y no es justo / que tirar hacia adelante lo vea como traicionarte…”
- Moving on feels like a betrayal.
- Meeting someone new feels like he’s failing his past love.
- Guilt consumes him for even thinking about healing.
🎨 Second Verse
“Como quito de mi ropa este Laura Zadig…”
- Metaphors of memory: designer clothes (Laura Zadig), art installations (Marina Abramovic), personal places (Madrid streets), and songs — everything reminds him of her.
- He avoids streets, songs, and memories, but her presence is woven into the fabric of his life.
“Que quien peor me hizo llorar / Fue quien mejor me hizo reír…”
- A powerful confession: the one who hurt him most was also the one who made him happiest.
- Love and pain are inseparably linked.
⚡ Second Chorus (repeats)
- The chorus repeats, emphasizing frustration and helplessness.
- No matter how much time passes, the conflict remains inside him.
💥 Final Bridge
“Siempre me estrello con lo que hay delante / por andar mirando para atrás…”
- He can’t move forward because he’s always looking backward — trapped in nostalgia.
- Even though the “sky” (future) is hopelessly cloudy, he still goes out hoping.
“Dije sin querer lo de que te marchases…”
- He accidentally pushed her away — and now bears the regret.
- The final lines show emotional stasis: everything outside is falling apart, but inside, he hasn’t changed.
