Miente
Bengala Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Ella me miró
Con los ojos mudos me miró
A siglos de distancia
Miente por favor
Con destreza dijiste sin valor
Que no me necesitas más

Mientete aunque sea un momento

Que si no te puedo ver
Es porque he buscado bien
Mientete aunque sea un momento
Que si no he buscado bien
Es porque no te quiero ver

Ella me miró
Con los ojos rotos se alejó
A siglos de distancia en un avión
Y me quedé sin hablar
Y me quedé sin hablar

Mientete aunque sea un momento
Que si no te puedo ver
Es porque he buscado nien
Mientete aunque sea un momento

Que si no he buscado bien
Es porque no te quiero ver

Overall Meaning

In Bengala's song, "Miente," the singer is being looked at by someone he loves. However, rather than being looked at with affection, he is assessed with a cold and distant gaze. The distance can be felt as if it has been centuries since they last saw each other. Eventually, the singer is asked to be lied to with proficiency. The significant other is asked to lie about no longer needing or wanting the singer's presence. The singer, knowing the truth, asks to be lied to for just a moment so that he can have a break from reality.

The song portrays a scenario in which one person is willing to endure pain to hold onto a relationship that has already ended. The line "miente por favor" translates to "lie, please." In this instance, the singer is not wanting to know the truth. He merely wants a moment of convenience to rest from his turmoil.

Overall, the song is a melancholic and realistic reflection on relationships, love, and lies. The lyrics pose a moral question about when it is better to know the truth and when it is easier to be lied to. The slow beat and the thoughtful melody match the mood and emotions of the lyrics, evoking a feeling of deep concern and yearning.
