Papeles
Enrique Guzman Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Tan solo papeles
Nos mantienen unidos
En la falsa brutal
Papeles
K' ante dios y el divino amor
Ya no tienen ningun valor
Papeles
Tan solo papeles
Papeles tan frios
K' son ley nada mas
Cobardes
Manteniendo una cituacion
De mentiras y de dolor
X pensar en el k' dira
Somos actores
K' fingen kerers¡ y anars'
En una comedia de todos los dias
Comedia k' ostiga
K' no tien' fin ni realidad
Papeles ...
Papeles
Tan solo papeles
K' mostramos al mundo
Enpeñado en fingir
Papeles
K' ante dios y el divino amor
Ya no tienen ningun valor
Son papeles
Se murio nuestro amor
Son papeles papeles
The lyrics of Enrique Guzman's song "Papeles" talk about the idea that the only things keeping two people together are just papers, and when love dies, these papers become worthless. What they're trying to portray here is how sometimes people stay in relationships for the sake of appearances, because they're afraid of what other people might think. The song criticizes this mentality and encourages people to be honest with themselves and others, rather than living a lie just to satisfy society's expectations.
Enrique Guzman touches upon the theme of deception by characterizing their relationship as nothing but a play where couples pretend to love each other. He calls them "actores que fingen quererse y añorarse" (actors that pretend to love and miss each other) in this never-ending comedy that is life. The lyrics suggest that people should stop living a lie and come clean to themselves and each other. They encourage people to be truthful about how they feel and stop pretending to keep up appearances that only lead to sadness and misery.
