La Mentira
Cecilia Dale Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me quieres
A pesar
De lo que dices
Pues llevamos
En el alma
Cicatrices
Imposibles
Se te olvida
Que hasta puedo
Hacerte mal
Si me decido
Pues tu amor
Lo tengo
Muy comprometido
Pero a fuerza
No sera
Y hoy resulta
Que no soy
De la estatura
De tu vida
Que al
Dejarme casi
Casi se te olvida
Que hay un pacto
Entre los dos
Por mi parte
Te devuelvo
Tu promesa
De adorarte
Ni siquiera
Sientas pena
Por dejarme
Que este pacto
No йs con Dios
Y hoy resulta
Que no soy
De la estatura
De tu vida
Que al
Dejarme casi
Casi se te olvida
Que hay un pacto
Entre los dos
Por mi parte
Te devuelvo
Tu promesa
De adorarte
Ni siquiera
Sientas pena
Por dejarme
Que este pacto
No йs con Dios
The lyrics of La Mentira by Cecilia Dale explore the theme of a failing relationship plagued by lies and unfulfilled promises. The singer addresses their lover, reminding them that despite their words, they still love them deeply and carry scars from their past experiences that cannot be erased. The lines "Se te olvida / Que me quieres / A pesar / De lo que dices" translate to "You forget / That you love me / Despite / What you say," highlighting the tension between what is being said and what is being felt.
The singer goes on to explain that they have the power to hurt their lover if they choose to act on their feelings, and that their love is deeply committed despite any obstacles. However, they also acknowledge that they are not of the same stature in their lover's life and that there is a pact between them, which the singer intends to honor. The final lines "Por mi parte / Te devuelvo / Tu promesa / De adorarte" meaning "On my part / I return to you / Your promise / To adore you," suggest that the singer is choosing to let go of the relationship, not with resentment, but with an understanding that they cannot force their way into their lover's life.
Overall, La Mentira is a poignant and honest song about the complexity of love and relationships, and the often unspoken agreements that exist between two people.
