Si te habla de mi,
Si te habla de mi
Y te dice que yo
He sido suya igual
Que hoy de ti.

Tu le puedes decir
Que no mienta

Que nunca lo fui
Que no hable de mas
Que se caye
Que nos deje vivir
Que se olvide de ti,
Que se olvide de mi.

Estribillo

Si te habla de mi
Y te dice que estube
En sus brazos
No le creas no le hagas caso
Lo que intenta
En el fondo es herir,
Que mas quisieracorazon,
Que mas quisiera
Tan solo por un beso

Hubiese dado amor
La vida entera.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Rocio Jurado's song "Si te habla de mi" describe someone who is trying to spread rumors about the singer, telling others that they were involved romantically. The singer is telling the listener that if this person speaks of them, they should not believe the lies and that they should be left alone to live their lives in peace. The chorus reiterates this sentiment, saying that the person spreading the rumors is only trying to hurt the singer and that they themselves would have loved to be involved in a romantic relationship but were never given the chance.

The lyrics convey a sense of resilience and resolve in the face of negative rumors and gossip. Rather than becoming embroiled in drama and trying to defend themselves against lies, the singer is confident in their own truth and simply asks that others not believe the rumors. This is a powerful message for anyone who has ever had false rumors spread about them or been the subject of gossip.
