Me tengo que ir Meaning and English lirycs translated

★ Me tengo que ir - I have to go sing by Los Adolecentes

The story tells of a young girl, who comes from a wealthy family, who falls in love with a man who, on the other hand, does not have much money. When the girl's parents discover the affair, they decide to send her away and send her to Europe to be separated from her boyfriend. The lovers' parting is what the chorus is really about.

However, the story takes an unexpected turn, as no one knew that the girl was pregnant, and when she was about to give birth, the delivery was complicated. So she has to choose between her life and that of her child.

★ The story was also confirmed by Baloa himself, who composed the song. In 2014, the media 'La Voz Salsa' of Medellín conducted an interview where he explained that: "She gets pregnant and in the park she tells her lover 'I have to go, and it's not for you, my heart is with you'. She leaves for Europe and while there her pregnancy becomes complicated and in the midst of this difficulty she writes letters to her lover telling him that she has to choose between the baby and her life".
