pero asi van pasando las semanas
pasando sin lograr lo que yo quiero
traicionero porqueme condenan
y me llenan de desesperacion
Yo no se si me dice que mañana
si tu Dios, es mi Dios
para que son esos brazos traicioneros
The lyrics of Plazos Traicioneros by Celia Cruz and Willie Colón explore the theme of betrayal in a romantic relationship.

However, the following lines reveal that the weeks are passing without the singer achieving what they desire, hinting at frustration and unfulfilled expectations. The term "traicionero" (meaning "treacherous" or "deceitful") is used to describe the situation, highlighting the sense of betrayal felt by the singer. This feeling is further emphasized in the following lines where the singer questions if they're being told that tomorrow will be better, but the reality is that their partner has given their heart to someone else.
The lyrics also reference God, asking if the same faith is shared between them, why would their partner's arms be treacherous. This line suggests a confusion or struggle with reconciling the betrayal with their beliefs. Overall, the lyrics convey a sense of hurt and confusion in the face of betrayal.
