‘Pero Yo Sí’ by Yami Safdie and Carín León: Meaning and English Lyrics

Share:

“Pero Yo Sí” is a powerful confrontation wrapped in a heartbreak anthem. In the song, Yami Safdie and Carín León speak directly to the person who hurt someone they care about. It could be a friend, a sister, someone they love, and call out the damage this person caused.

The track centers on a simple but powerful idea:
the person who broke her heart didn’t witness the aftermath.
He didn’t see the tears, the sleepless nights, or the constant self-doubt she was left with. He only shows up now that he regrets his actions, hoping to come back as if nothing happened.

Yami and Carín take on the role of protectors. They remind him that even if she chooses to forgive or forget, they won’t. They remember everything he did, and they’re not about to let him rewrite the story.

Carín’s verse adds another layer: he always knew the guy wasn’t good for her, and now that the relationship is over, he’s ready to introduce someone new into her life — someone who actually deserves her. Overall, “Pero Yo Sí” is about loyalty, heartbreak, and standing up for someone who went through more pain than the world ever saw.

Letra de ‘Pero Yo Sí’

[Verse 1: Yami Safdie]

Crazy, you better hope I don’t run into you
Any day while I’m walking down the street
It was just a couple rules that I gave you:
Take care of her and don’t you make her weep
Crazy, you’re really not the brightest one
How do you still have the nerve to call again?
Now you’re regretting it, just like I expected
Now suddenly you want to make amends

[Chorus: Carín León, Yami Safdie]

But you, you never saw her cry
Never heard her asking what she did wrong
You didn’t see the damage that you caused her
So don’t you dare come back trying to bring her home
’Cause you, you were never there
All those nights when she could barely sleep
And maybe she’ll forgive you someday
Maybe she won’t even remember what you did
But I will

[Verse 2: Carín León]

Crazy, I never really expected much from you
And even then, you still managed to let her down
She deserved a real-life fairy tale
But the prince turned out a little bit too coward now
I kept warning her you weren’t good for her
You see my radar never fails me with guys like you
But someone new is gonna take your place
And guess who’s gonna be the one to introduce them

[Chorus: Carín León & Yami Safdie, Carín León]

’Cause you, you never saw her cry
Never heard her asking what she did wrong
You didn’t see the damage that you caused her
So don’t you dare come back trying to bring her home
You, you were never there
All those nights when she could barely sleep
And maybe she’ll forgive you someday
Maybe she won’t even remember what you did
But I will.
