Qué Fuimos Meaning & Lyrics (Grupo Firme | Hernan Sepulveda)

The songwriter asks the central question, ‘If friends don’t kiss each other, then what were we?’ He uses the contrast between friendship and romance to explore a relationship that never found its place. The poet describes a love that was real but ill-timed.

¿Qué digo cuando me pregunten qué fuimos?What do I say when they ask what we were?
Porque lo que tú y yo vivimosBecause what you and I lived through,
No sé si fue realI don’t know if it was real.
No puedo olvidarte y la verdad no quieroI can’t forget you, and to be honest, I don’t want to.
Y aunque no me basta el recuerdoAnd even though a memory isn’t enough,
Sí me ayuda a asimilarit does help me come to terms with it.
Que el destino no nos quiso juntosThat destiny didn’t want us together,
Que aunque fui tu lugar segurothat even though I was your safe place,
Llegar a tiempo no se pudothe timing just wasn’t right.
Dime, ¿qué fue lo que nos hizo falta?Tell me, what was it that we were missing?
Si me sabía a verdad cada beso que tu boquita me dabaIf every kiss from your sweet lips felt so true to me,
Ay, no entiendo, ¿por qué fue que nos perdimos?oh, I don’t understand, why did we lose each other?
Fuimos todo sin ser nada, y se sabe, te mirabas mejor conmigoWe were everything without being anything, and it’s well known, you looked better with me.
Si los amigos no se besan, entonces ¿qué fuimos?If friends don’t kiss each other, then what were we?
Si los amigos no se besan, entoncesIf friends don’t kiss each other, then,
¿Qué fuimos?what were we?
Dime, ¿qué fue lo que nos hizo falta?Tell me, what was it that we were missing?
Si me sabía a verdad cada beso que tu boquita me dabaIf every kiss from your sweet lips felt so true to me,
Ay, no entiendo, ¿por qué fue que nos perdimos?oh, I don’t understand, why did we lose each other?
Fuimos todo sin ser nada, y se sabe, te mirabas mejor conmigoWe were everything without being anything, and it’s well known, you looked better with me.
Si los amigos no se besan, entonces ¿qué fuimos?If friends don’t kiss each other, then what were we?
Si los amigos no se besan, entoncesIf friends don’t kiss each other, then,
¿Qué fuimos?what were we?
