La Mentira
Samba Melodiosa Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que me quieres a pesar de lo que dices,
pues llevamos en el alma cicatrices,
imposibles de borrar...
Se te olvida...
Que hasta puedo hacerte mal si me decido,
pues tu amor lo tengo muy comprometido,
pero a fuerzas no será...
Que no soy de la estatura de tu vida,
y al dejarme casi, casi, se te olvida,
que hay un pacto... Entre los dos.
Por mi parte...
Te devuelvo tu promesa de adorarme,
ni siquiera sientas pena por dejarme,
que ese pacto...
No es con Dios.
Y hoy resulta...
Que no soy de la estatura de tu vida,
y al dejarme casi, casi, se te olvida,
que hay un pacto... Entre los dos.
Por mi parte...
Te devuelvo tu promesa de adorarme,
ni siquiera sientas pena por dejarme,
que ese pacto...
No es con Dios.
In Samba Melodiosa's song La Mentira, the singer confronts their lover about their lies and the fact that they still have feelings for them despite the pain that they have caused. The repeated phrase "se te olvida" (you forget) highlights the frustration the singer feels with their lover's inability to see the truth. The singer reminds their lover of the scars they both carry in their souls, wounds that cannot be erased, and that they have the power to hurt them as much as they have been hurt.
The singer acknowledges that they may not be on the same level as their lover and that they are willing to let them go if needed. However, it is revealed that there is a pact between them that is not with God, suggesting a deeper, more complicated connection that binds them together. The song ends with the singer returning their lover's promise to adore them, implying that they too are done with the lies and the pain.
Overall, the lyrics speak to the complexity of love and relationships, the pain that comes with betrayal, and the power dynamics within them. It reveals how couples can be bound together by more than just emotions and how the choices they make can have far-reaching consequences.
