Me atormenta el recuerdo feliz
Cerca de ti
No puedo ni mirarte
Se que perdi
Porque tu te has marchado
Porque tu me has olvidado
Porque tu ya no me quiere
Me enseñasta a olvidar
Y por eso te olvido
Me enseñaste a querer
Y por eso te quise
Me enseñaste a llorar
Y por eso he llorado por ti
Porque fuiste tu
Quien me hizo sufrir
Quien me hizo llorar
Niegalo di que te he mentido
Que no te he querido
Anda y dilo asi
Niegalo di que te he mentido
Que no te he querido
Anda y dilo asi
Me enseñaste a olvidar
Y por eso te olvido
Me enseñaste a querer
Y por eso te quise
Me enseñaste a llorar
Y por eso he llorado por ti
Porque fuite tu
Quien me hizo sufri
Quien me hizo llorar
Niegalo di que te he mentido
Que no te he querido
Anda y dilo asi
Niegalo di que te he mentido
Que no te he querido
Anda y dilo asi
Anda y dilo asi
The lyrics of Claudia de Colombia’s “Niegalo” depict the agony of separation and heartbreak, as the singer struggles with the memories of a happy past they shared with their former lover. The first two lines set the tone of the song, where the singer confesses that they are tormented by happy memories of being with the person they have lost. They go on to say that being close to their former lover while knowing that they have already left them, hurts them deeply. The singer understands that they have lost their love, and the person they once knew has now forgotten them. They mourn the loss of their love, aware that their love is not reciprocated anymore.
The following lines describe the bittersweet lessons that the singer learnt from their former lover. Their lover taught them how to forget and how to love, yet they still mourn the loss of the person who taught them these lessons. They cry for the pain their lover inflicted upon them, and the tears they shed for a love that never returned. The chorus of the song serves as a desperate plea to the former lover to deny the depth of their emotions towards the singer, to tell them that they have lied about their feelings for them. The final lines are a repetition of the chorus, showing how the singer is unable to give up on their love and holding on to hope, even if it is false.
