El Beso De Judas
Los Traileros Del Norte Lyrics

The lyrics of Los Traileros del Norte's song "El Beso De Judas" express the pain and bitterness of being betrayed by someone who pretended to love you. The song speaks to the feeling of being deceived and lied to, and the impact this has on one's life. The opening line, "Te va a pesar, hasta el haber nacido" ("It will weigh on you, even to have been born"), sets a tone of sadness and regret, implying that the pain of betrayal is so great that it taints everything in one's life, even the act of existence itself.

The song continues by describing the taste of true betrayal, "Cuando sientas de pena, Cuando pruebas de veras El sabor del olvido" ("when you feel pain, when you taste the real flavor of forgetfulness"). The "sabor del olvido" is a powerful metaphor for the bitterness of betrayal, suggesting that the taste is not only unpleasant, but also lingers and refuses to be forgotten. The song then compares the pain of betrayal to the "beso de Judas" ("kiss of Judas"), a reference to the biblical story of Judas Iscariot betraying Jesus with a kiss. This betrayal is described as being more bitter than tears, and well-deserved for the one who betrayed in the first place.

The song then addresses the person who has been betrayed, offering empathy and understanding. The lyrics suggest that the singer has been through similar pain and knows the feeling of having someone you love deceive you. The line "Te di mi amor, pero jamás mi olvido" ("I gave you my love, but never my forgetfulness") suggests that even though the love is gone, the memory of it will remain. Finally, the song warns the betrayer that they will someday realize the depth of their mistake and try to apologize, but it will be too late, and their apologies will be "como el beso de Judas" ("like the kiss of Judas") - insincere and pointless.
