Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Las apariencias engaÑanConmigo te equivocasteCreyendo que moririaEl dia que me dejastePero yo tuve corajePara luchar con la vidaSabiendo que estabas lejosSintiendo que te perdia
Las apariencias engaÑanConmigo te equivocastePorque fue pasando el tiempoY tu jamas me olvidastePorque al fin te has dado cuentaQue sigo estando en tu vidaY hoy quieres volver conmigoComo amante como amiga
Las apariencias engaÑanConmigo te equivocastePorque ya no se querertePorque me duele besartePorque el tiempo y la distanciaConfabularon conmigoPara poder olvidarteY no precisar tu abrigo
Las apariencias engaÑanConmigo te equivocaste




Overall Meaning

The song Las Apariencias Engañan, by Raphael, is a powerful ballad about the deceitful nature of appearances. The singer addresses a former lover who underestimated him, believing he would not be able to survive without her. However, the singer proves her wrong, showing that he had the courage and strength to fight for his life, even while feeling lost and alone.


Despite being apart from her, the singer still loved her deeply and missed her greatly. However, as time went on, the singer realized that he could not love her as he used to. The distance and time that separated them had taken a toll, making it impossible for him to feel the same way again.


Nevertheless, the former lover eventually comes back, now realizing that the singer still holds a special place in her life. She seeks to reconnect, either as a lover or a friend. But the singer, who has moved on, can no longer love her or even kiss her, as it only causes him pain.


Overall, Las Apariencias Engañan is a moving song about overcoming the challenges of life and the complex nature of love and heartbreak. Its emotional depth and powerful vocals make it a timeless classic.
