Por Qué Mi Amor Mentiste
Adrian y los Dados Negros Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Recuerdas que me juraste y me abrazaste hasta morir
Ahora te quieres ir de la mano de un amigo
Y todo lo prometido en el aire se espumo
Con que cara me tomaste crees que vivo dormido
Depues que te vi con el, yo muxo antes me entere
El vino a confesar que tu lo andabas buscando
Le dije que siga el juego
Porque mi amor mentiste, mentiste, mentiste
Porque mi amor me heriste, me heriste en el corazooooon
The lyrics of Adrián y Los Dados Negros's song Por Qué Mi Amor Mentiste speak of a broken promise from a lover who had sworn to never leave the singer's side. The song opens by reminding the lover of the promise made that morning, a promise that was sealed with an embrace. The lover has now chosen to walk away hand in hand with a friend, leaving everything promised between them to fade away into thin air. The singer asks the lover how they expected to get away with it and whether they thought he was blind to what was going on between them.
As the song progresses, the singer reveals that he had known about the lover's affair with the friend long before, and it was the friend who came and confessed to him. The singer challenged the friend to keep up the facade to see what the lover would say when confronted. The chorus of the song repeats the question "Porque mi amor mentiste?" ("Why, my love, did you lie?") and "Porque mi amor me heriste?" ("Why, my love, did you hurt me?") emphasizing the hurt and pain caused by the lover's actions.
Overall, the song speaks to the betrayal and emotional trauma that comes with being cheated on or lied to by a loved one. The lyrics portray a sense of disbelief mixed with hurt as the singer tries to come to terms with the broken promise and the loss of trust.
