Mi Buen Amante
Sergio Vega "El Shaka" Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Son más virtudes, que sus defectos
Son más las ganas, de darle un beso
Tengo una amante, que está 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 alhajas 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 alhajas 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 song "Mi Buen Amante" by Sergio Vega, also known as El Shaka, is about a man who is in love with his mistress, who he believes has more virtues than flaws. He confesses that he has an ongoing affair with this woman, who is always with him every moment he needs her. In contrast, he describes his current girlfriend as someone who is always fashionable and elegant, but lacks the ability to make him a simple cup of coffee. She goes shopping every day and is always concerned about her appearance, but is consistently late and has a negative attitude. He finds difficulty in talking to her because she always looks at him like an enemy, and he feels it is like going to war with her.


The chorus is a repeated introduction of his mistress, whom he portrays as someone who is the opposite of his girlfriend. She does not care about fashion or jewelry and is not concerned about being glamorous. She does not wear high heels or excessive makeup, but is always naturally beautiful in his eyes. He describes her as someone who is honest, experienced, and innocent, and who has made him forget about his troubled relationship with his girlfriend. He admits that his mistress is not perfect, but to him, she is just perfect enough for him to leave his girlfriend.


The song "Mi Buen Amante" reflects the theme of infidelity and how the desire for something better, or someone better, can often lead to dishonesty and deceit. It portrays the singer as someone who is not happy with his current relationship and seeks happiness and fulfillment elsewhere. However, it also highlights the idea that sometimes, people can find someone who understands them and makes them happy in unexpected places. The song showcases traditional Mexican music, specifically the Banda genre, which combines brass and percussion instruments.
