Me Parece Mentira
Manu Tenorio Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que ahora te miro y te noto
Tan distinta...
Y yo me alegro,
De que hayas madurado tan deprisa
De lejos te observo
Y con la gente eres fría y orgullosa
Te has vuelto más altiva y rencorosa
Parece mentira,
Que esa actitud
También la empleas conmigo
Y que me trates sin ningun tipo de cariño
Como si nada hubiese habido entre los dos
Me parece mentira
Y que de nada te ha servido
Lo vivido...
Que ni siquiera de recuerdo
Te he servido
Y que me anules sin ningún tipo de pudor
Y me parece mentira
Que no te duela de esta forma
Que me duele...
Que te pasees delante mía
Tan indiferente
Que me confundas
Con la multitud...
Cuanto tiempo
Un año más que decidimos
Ya no vernos
Y reconocidos es dificil cuando uno sigue herido
Parece mentira
Que exijo en tí
Algo de nuestro pasado
Pero yo siento como ya
Me has desterrado
Que no me reconoces
Cuando nos miramos
Me parece mentira
Y que de nada te ha servido
Lo vivido...
Que ni siquiera de recuerdo
Te he servido
Y que me anules
Sin ningún tipo de pudor
Y me parece mentira
Que no te duela de esta forma
En que me duele
Que te pasees delante mía
Tan indiferente
Que me confundas
Con la multitud..
Me parece....mentira...
(Gracias a Esther Aguilera por esta letra)
The song "Me Parece Mentira" by Manu Tenorio is a ballad about the pain and confusion of someone who sees their former lover has changed and become colder and more distant. The lyrics describe how the singer observes the changes in the behavior of their ex-partner, now distant, cold and proud, and how this also affects the way they treat the singer. The singer is hurt by the indifference of their ex-partner, who seems to have forgotten the past and everything they shared.
The lyrics convey a sense of disbelief at how quickly the ex-partner has changed, and how they have become someone completely different. The singer is torn between wanting to hold onto the memories of their past relationship and wanting to move on from the pain and the hurt. The repetition of the phrase "Me parece mentira" emphasizes the sense of disbelief and shock that the singer feels throughout the song.
Overall, the song is a powerful expression of the pain and confusion that can come with a breakup, and the struggle to come to terms with the changes in oneself and one's former partner.

Parece mentira
It seems incredible
Que ahora te miro y te noto
Tan distinta...
That now I look at you and notice
You're so different...
Y yo me alegro,
De que hayas madurado tan deprisa
And I'm glad
That you have matured so quickly
De lejos te observo
Y con la gente eres fría y orgullosa
From afar I observe you
And with people, you're cold and proud
Y es que con el tiempo
Te has vuelto más altiva y rencorosa
And with time
You have become more arrogant and resentful
Que esa actitud
También la empleas conmigo
That attitude
You also use it with me
Y que me trates sin ningun tipo de cariño
Como si nada hubiese habido entre los dos
And that you treat me with no affection
As if nothing had ever happened between us
Y que de nada te ha servido
Lo vivido...
And that nothing has served you
From what we experienced...
Que ni siquiera de recuerdo
Te he servido
That I haven't even served as a memory
For you
Y que me anules sin ningún tipo de pudor
And that you completely ignore me
Without any shame
Que no te duela de esta forma
Que me duele...
That it doesn't hurt you in the same way
That it hurts me...
Que te pasees delante mía
Tan indiferente
That you walk in front of me
So indifferent
Que me confundas
Con la multitud...
That you mistake me
For the crowd...
Cuanto tiempo
Un año más que decidimos
Ya no vernos
How long has it been
One more year since we decided
Not to see each other anymore
Y reconocidos es difícil cuando uno sigue herido
And it's hard to recognize each other
When one is still hurt
Que exijo en ti
Algo de nuestro pasado
That I demand from you
Something from our past
Pero yo siento como ya
Me has desterrado
But I feel like you have already
Banished me
Que no me reconoces
Cuando nos miramos
That you don't recognize me
When we look at each other
Me parece....mentira...
It seems... incredible...
