Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es Carlos y Alejandra!
(Carlos)
Que no me miras igual,
No me siento tu galan,
Ya no hacemos el amor
Solo es sexo sin pasion
(Alejandra)
Tu sonrisa murió, ya no hablamos los dos,
¿Porque evitas mi calor?
Está claro, se acabo!
Let's get it .
And I know that you don't wanna hurt me
Pero verte fingir,
¡Ay! . Duele mucho más ...
I know that you no wanna hurt me
Pero es la realidad, no lo ocultemos más.
(Carlos)
¡Ay! . Mírame a la cara,
mira bien estos ojos,
mira como lloro,
el dolor no soporto.
(Alejandra)
Mira bien los sentimientos como gritan por ti,
mira como del suelo recojo pedazos de mi .
Mírame ésta herida, mira que estoy sangrando,
mira que causaste, por mentir tanto y tanto .
Mira tu conciencia si es que existe en ti,
mira como humillaste a la persona en mi .
¡En mi! ...
El duo perfecto, es Carlos y Alejandra ...
¡Aprietala!
...
¡She likes!
...
¡Ahora es que falta!
Extiende tus alas y vuela corazón
Quiero que seas feliz aunque no es junto a mi
Tus abrazos son falsos, y tus besos veneno, desintoxicarme de ti
Girl you gotta leave
And I know that you don't wanna hurt me
Pero es la realidad, no lo ocultemos más
¡Ay! . Mírame a la cara, mira bien estos ojos,
Mira como lloro, el dolor no soporto.
Mira bien los sentimientos como gritan por ti,
Mira como del suelo recojo pedazos de mi .
Mírame ésta herida,
Mira que estoy sangrando,
Mira que causaste, por mentir tanto y tanto .
Mira tu conciencia si es que existe en ti,
Mira como humillaste a la persona en mi .
¡En mi! ...
The song "Mirame" by Carlos y Alejandra is about the breakdown of a relationship and the pain that comes with realizing that it's over. The verses are sung by both Carlos and Alejandra, with each describing their own feelings of hurt and betrayal. Carlos feels that he's no longer seen as attractive by his partner and that their physical relationship has become disconnected from any emotional connection that they may have once shared. Alejandra sees the loss of communication and affection, as well as her partner's inability to provide her with warmth.
Both singers plead for their partner to look at them and see the pain they've caused, but also recognize that it's time to move on. They understand that the truth hurts, but it's better than living a lie. They hope that their ex-partner can find happiness, though they know it won't be with each other. The song is raw and emotional, with both singers expressing the pain and vulnerability that come with the end of a relationship.
Overall, "Mirame" is a cathartic love song that speaks to anyone who has ever gone through a breakup or dealt with the pain of unrequited love.
