Selena Gomez opens up about singing in Spanish

By Sam Prance

The meaning behind Selena Gomez's Adiós lyrics explained.

Selena Gomez is giving Selenators everything we want with her Revelación EP but what do her Spanish 'Adiós' lyrics mean?

'Adiós' is Track 6 on Revelación, it's a kiss-off bop in which Selena Gomez calls out an ex who won't accept that she doesn't want anything to do with them anymore and still calls her at "three in the morning" even though they've split. 'Adiós' literally means 'Goodbye' in Spanish and the song sees Selena remind her ex that she's already said "goodbye" to them.

In the chorus, Selena sings: "Adiós, esto no es pa' tí / La foto que subí, te lo quería decir 'Adiós'." In English, this translates to: "Bye, this isn't for you / The picture I posted, I wanted to tell you 'Bye'." She later adds: "No quiero drama / Quiero ir a la cama, con quién me dé la gana," which means: "I don't want drama / I want to go to be with whoever I desire."

Selena Gomez - 'Adiós' lyrics

INTRO
La-la-la, la-ah, ah-ah-ah, la-ah
La-la-la, la-ah, ah-ah-ah, ah-ah-ah

VERSE 1
Your friends already told me
That you don't want to know about me
You don't miss that routine anymore
That your life is going better without me

PRE-CHORUS
But then, why do you claim me?
Asking me how and with whom
If you call me at three in the morning
When I've already forgotten you

CHORUS
Bye, this isn't for you
The picture I posted, I wanted to tell you "Bye"
It's fine, it's not ill-intentioned
This isn't personal, there's nothing to explain, bye
If they say that they saw me with someone else
It's probably true, yeah
Calm down, calm down, bye
I already said bye, bye

VERSE 2
Because there's nothing left here
You have me all wrong
Don't drown me with words
If I leave you on read, why do you call me?
No, no, don't play dumb
If I have you cray-cray
It's because I don't, I don't want drama
I want to go to bed with whoever I want

PRE-CHORUS
But then, why do you claim me?
Asking me how and with whom
If you call me at three in the morning
I already forgot you

CHORUS
Bye, this isn't for you
The picture I posted, I wanted to tell you "Bye"
It's fine, it's not ill-intentioned
This isn't personal, there's nothing to explain, bye
If they say that they saw me with someone else
It's probably true, yeah
Calm down, calm down, bye
I already said bye, bye

OUTRO
Yeah
Yeah
Bye (Yeah)
La-la-la, la-ah, ah-ah-ah, la-ah
La-la-la, la-ah, ah-ah-ah, la-ah
Bye
