Franqueza
Lucrecia Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Perdona mi franqueza que tal vez,
Juzgues descaro,
Yo sé que voy a herirte por decirte
Lo que pienso.

Espero que comprendas, que es mejor
Que hablemos claro.
Debemos separarnos porque amor,

Ya no te tengo.

Tú, puedes encontrar lejos de mí
Quien te comprenda.
Yo sé que no te puedo hacer feliz
Aunque pretenda.

Tú, siempre me pediste la verdad,
Fuera cual fuera.
Hoy debes admitir la realidad
Aunque te duela.

No, no, no quiero darte más desilusiones
Es preferible así, el tiempo lo dirá.
Te ruego nuevamente me perdones
Y no quieras hacer aclaraciones.

Porque tú puedes encontrar lejos de mí
Quien te comprenda.

Yo sé que no te puedo hacer feliz
Aunque pretenda.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Lucrecia's song "Franqueza" talk about the pain and difficulty of being honest with someone you love, knowing that your words may hurt them. She asks for forgiveness for her frankness, acknowledging that the other person may see it as impudence. However, she believes that honesty is necessary for their relationship to end amicably. Lucrecia tells her partner that although they may be hurt by her honesty, they need to hear the truth if they are to separate. She admits that she no longer loves them and believes that they will be better off finding someone who truly understands and appreciates them. In essence, she is trying to let them know gently that their relationship has come to an end, but she still cares for them and wants the best for them.
