Mi Buen Amante
Sergio Vega Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Son más virtudes que sus defectos
Son más las ganas de darle beso
Tengo una amante que esta conmigo a cada momento
Y tú, siempre a la moda y con elegancia
De uñas muy largas y decoradas
No eras capaz de hacerme un café
Pues según tú, no eras mi gata

Salías de compras todos los días
Siempre cuidando tu anatomía
Llegabas tarde para variar siempre de malas

Era difícil hablar contigo
Pues me mirabas como enemigo
Era una guerra donde el rival
Dormía conmigo

Te presento a mi amante
La que no anda a la moda
No trae alas ni es elegante
No usa tacones tampoco luce despampanante
Es ella misma siempre tan linda y sin maquillaje

Te presento a mi amante
La que con su experiencia con su inocencia
Me hizo olvidarte

Naturalmente que es muy decente
Aunque es mi amante
Es tan perfecta lo suficiente
Para dejarte

Te presento a mi amante
La que no anda a la moda no trae alas ni es elegante
No usa tacones tampoco luce despampanante
Es ella misma siempre tan linda y sin maquillaje
Te presento a mi amante
La que con su experiencia
Con su inocencia me hizo olvidarte
Naturalmente que es muy decente

Aunque es mi amante
Es tan perfecta lo suficiente para dejarte

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Sergio Vega’s “Mi Buen Amante” describe a man’s relationship with his mistress, and serve as a comparison to his past relationship with his former lover. The song is sung from a male perspective, and it is clear that he values his current lover, who is his mistress, more than his previous one. He sings about how his mistress has more virtues than faults, how he wants to kiss her. He describes her as being always available to him, always there for him. This can be contrasted with his previous girlfriend who was always focused on her appearance, always dressed in fashionable clothes, with long, decorated nails, and her concern for her appearance caused her to neglect other things like making coffee for him.

The song continues as the man describes how his previous girlfriend was always shopping, more focused on her appearance than anything else, always running late and in bad spirits. He describes how talking to her was like being in a battle, where she always looked at him like an enemy. In the end, the man introduces listeners to his mistress, who is not necessarily conventionally attractive or fashionable, but who is perfect for him. He wants to leave his previous lover for this woman who is unpretentious, natural, and kind to him.
