Miel Con Veneno
Julieta Venegas Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

No se que esperaba vivir
La vida antes era maravillosa
Que tanto se puede elegir
El destino no es una de esas cosas
Tú y yo éramos como un mismo ser
Esta vez decidirás tu vida y yo también

No se que esperaba de ti
Al final no somos tan diferentes
De que crees que quieres huir
Tal vez sea la única que te entiende
Créeme solo te quería proteger
Pues tal vez la vida es veneno con miel

Quien te ha tendido una trampa tan dulce
Que ya no quieres regresar
Quien me ha robado el cariño
Que antes me dabas y no hiciste más
Deja el mundo vuelve ya
Deja todo vuelve ya

Miel con veneno

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Julieta Venegas's song "Miel Con Veneno" explore the complexities of relationships and the highs and lows of life. The singer is reflecting on their past experiences and struggles to understand what they expected to achieve in life. They recognize that life was once wonderful but that destiny isn't something that can be chosen. The singer is also questioning their expectations of another person, admitting that they are not so different from them after all. Perhaps the only thing they both understand is the notion that life can be like honey with poison.


The bridge of the song poses two important questions. The first asks who has laid a trap so sweet that the listener doesn't want to return. This could be interpreted as a metaphor for temptation: the lure of something that seems too good to be true but ultimately traps and hurts you that you don't want to leave. The second question asks who has stolen the affection that the listener used to offer without doing anything in return. Relationships can be like a give-and-take, and once one person becomes the taker instead of the giver, the whole dynamic can shift.

Y de la mía ❤️

Del soundtrack de "Quemar las naves". Maravillosa la analogía de la miel con veneno que le da a las hormigas... y a su hermano también. Sabina Berman fue una de las guionistas.
