Mientes
Carlos Cuevas Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Mientes, te engañas cuando dices que lo quieres,
Si yo fui tu maestro en los placeres,
tu amante en el que hallaste la pasión
Porque mientes, conmigo el sabor es diferente,
Y eso que por el dices que sientes,
llámale como quieras no es amor

Porque mientes, yo fui dueño total de tus desvelos

Y juntos compartimos otros cielos, todo esto, no lo puedes olvidar
Porque mientes, te engañas cuando dices que lo quieres
Si cuando, sientes hambre de placeres,
quisieras que yo estuviera en su lugar

Porque mientes, yo fui dueño total de tus desvelos
Y juntos compartimos otros cielos, todo esto, no lo puedes olvidar
Porque mientes, te engañas cuando dices que lo quieres

Si cuando, sientes hambre de placeres,
quisieras que yo estuviera en su lugar

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Carlos Cuevas's song "Mientes" tell the story of a man who knows that his lover is lying to herself and to him about her feelings towards him. He confronts her, saying that she deceives herself when she claims to love another man. The singer tells her that he was her teacher in pleasure and her lover in whom she found passion. He knows that when she is with him, the taste is different, and she feels more fulfilled. The singer goes further to explain that he and his lover have shared a lot together, and she cannot forget all of those experiences they shared. The man accuses his lover of pretending to love someone else while all she craves is pleasure, and the only person that can give her that pleasure is him, not the man she claims to love.

The lyrics of the song capture the emotions of someone who has felt used and discarded, and the bitterness that comes with that feeling. The chorus of the song repeatedly accuses the lover of pretending to love someone else while deep down, she craves the person she had previously been with. The lyrics tell a story that is relatable to many, especially those who have had their heart broken or felt used by someone they trusted.
