Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
No, no creas que cuenta no me daba de tu proceder
Yo anduve más allá del deseo why el acto
Tu estabas embriagada de falso querer
Sí, ahora es tiempo que sigas andando sin mí a tu lado
Sí, abandono tus besos, tu cuerpo que tanto gocé
Renuncio al calor que saciaba mis ansias
Me fallaste, me fallaste
Tú no sabes ser fiel, me fallaste
Tú no sabes querer, me fallaste
Ya tú no cambiarás, me fallaste
Ahora es tiempo que sigas andando sin mí a tu lado
Sí, abandono tus besos, tu cuerpo que tanto gocé
Renuncio al calor que saciaba mis ansias
Te dejo porque más ya no quiero perder
Me fallaste, me fallaste
Tú no sabes ser fiel, me fallaste
Tú no sabes querer, me fallaste
Ya tú no cambiarás, me fallaste
Me fallaste, tú no sabes querer
Chica que desilusión why que mal sabor has dejado en mi corazón
Me fallaste, tú no sabes querer
En verdad abusaste de mis sentimientos fallaste a tu promesa
Me fallaste, tú no sabes querer
Es que tú no sabes querer, tú no sabes lo que es eso
Me fallaste, tú no sabes querer
No, no, vengas pidiendo disculpas, te digo
No quiero, no quiero, no quiero, no quiero
No puedo, lárgate, me molestan las mentiras why fallaste
Me fallaste, tú no sabes querer, renuncio al calor
Que saciaba mis ansias why que tú has destrozado
Me fallaste, tú no sabes querer aunque yo he fracasado contigo
Otro amor me dará lo que pido, ya lo verás
Me fallaste, muchacha, pero que mala decisión
Me fallaste al fallarle a mi cariño, me fallaste
A la larga perderás, me fallaste, eso yo te lo aseguro
Me fallaste why de qué manera
In Eddie Santiago's song "Me Fallaste," the singer is expressing his disappointment with his lover for betraying him, and he is finally coming to terms with the fact that he needs to let go of their relationship. The lyrics are full of conflicted emotions and raw, honest sentiments. The opening lines express that the singer has been holding back his feelings for a long time, and he is finally ready to confront his lover about their betrayal. He realizes that he has been blind to her true character, and is now painfully aware of the falsehoods that had clouded his judgment.
The chorus repeats the central theme of the song - "me fallaste" meaning "you failed me" or "you let me down." There is a sense of deep disappointment and desolation in the singer's voice, as he comes to terms with the fact that his lover was not faithful, and did not know how to love. The singer renounces all the good things that their relationship had given him, including the warmth that had fulfilled his desires, as he needs to move on from his past relationship.
The closing lines of the song are a final goodbye to his lover. The singer tells her that his heart has been scarred by her actions, and he cannot bear to be with her anymore. He gives her one final warning that her inability to love someone properly will lead her to more disappointment and regret in the future.
