Otra Cara Bonita
Yordano Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Se supone que yo
No tengo corazón
No tengo cerebro, ay no

Se supone que yo
Lo doné a la sociedad
Por el bien de la humanidad
Se supone que yo, soy sólo

Otra cara bonita, otra cara bonita
Otra cara bonita, otra cara bonita

Se supone que yo
Sólo sirvo para mostrar lo que tú me vas a apuntar
Dime entonces porqué
Ahora me vienes de rodillas
A ofrecerme maravillas
Si se supone que yo soy sólo

Otra cara bonita, otra cara bonita
Otra cara bonita, otra cara bonita

Ella quiere hacerme olvidar lo que pasó
La misma noche que la conocí
Yo no sabía como ella era y me dejé llevar
Lo que me hizo no lo puedo ocultar
Y a la hora de la verdad me dijo
Sale niño, para mi tú eres sólo

Otra cara bonita, otra cara bonita
Otra cara bonita, otra cara bonita

Otra cara bonita, otra cara bonita
Otra cara bonita, otra cara bonita

Overall Meaning

The song "Otra Cara Bonita" by Yordano is about the societal pressure on people, specifically those who are considered physically attractive or "bonita." The lyrics suggest that people assume attractive people lack emotional depth and intelligence, and are only valued for their physical appearance. Yordano sings about how it feels to be objectified and reduced to just a pretty face. He says that he is supposed to have no heart or brain because he is just another pretty face, and his value is only in showing off what others want him to show.

The song then takes a personal turn as Yordano talks about a woman who tries to make him forget a past hurt, but ultimately dismisses him as just another pretty face. He reveals that he made a mistake by getting involved with her, not knowing who she really was, and she used him for his looks just as society does. In the end, he realizes that no matter what he does or how he tries to be seen as more than just a pretty face, society and some individuals will continue to objectify him.

Overall, "Otra Cara Bonita" is a commentary on societal beauty standards and the dehumanization of those considered attractive. It explores the frustrations and pain of being reduced to just one aspect of oneself and the difficulty of breaking out of that mold.
