Veneno
Kiko Veneno Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

En un cuartito los dos
Veneno que tú tomaras
Veneno tomaba yo.

Qué tiene tu amor
dime qué tiene tu amor
me está dejando desnudo
como me trajo Dios
desnudo me trajo Dios. Desnudito

Tú me decías y me jurabas
que me esperarías
y me quedé toda la noche al relente

Tú le echabas la culpa al reloj
pero el reloj era muy buena gente
el reloj es mejor que tú

Tú me estás queriendo a mí
un 15% menos no me lo niegues
Con el coste de la vida lo nuestro
se está quedando en ná.

En un cuartito los dos




Veneno que tú tomaras
Veneno tomaba yo.

Overall Meaning

Kiko Veneno's song "Veneno" is a melancholic love song that portrays the feeling of betrayal and disappointment in a relationship. The song opens with two lovers in a room, drinking poison while reflecting on their love. The phrase "Veneno que tú tomaras, Veneno tomaba yo" means that whatever the lover drinks, the other will do the same, symbolizing their commitment to each other. The singer then questions the love that they once had, and how it has left him feeling exposed and vulnerable. The repetition of "Que tiene tu amor" accentuates the desperation in the singer's voice, as he can't comprehend how he ended up in this situation.


The second part of the song delves into the singer's feelings of betrayal. He recalls a promise made by his lover, which she failed to keep, forcing him to wait outside all night, exposed to the elements. Here, the blame is shifted by the singer, as he notes that his lover gave excuses blaming "the clock" instead of admitting her own mistake. In fact, he says "el reloj es mejor que tú" (the clock is better than you), implying that he would have preferred his lover to be honest with him, even if it meant admitting fault.


In the last part of the song, the singer acknowledges the decreasing love in their relationship, noting that with the cost of living, their love is no longer the same. He begs for clarity, as he feels that he is receiving less love than before. The song, as a whole, is a poignant reflection on love, commitment, and feelings of betrayal in a relationship.
