MIÉNTELE – Bilingual Lyrics Spanish/English

• By: junior H

Lyrics & Translation

[English]

Looking for a reason, I found it

You didn't bother to warn me, and I asked

What people were telling me

Maybe it's my luck, or I don't know

That rosé champagne drives me crazy

It hurts my soul, that's what it is

Lie to me again, lie to yourself

Lie to your followers, with that charisma of yours

Lie to them

And use it like you know how to play with the mind

Oh, have fun

Because in the end, you're going to be left alone

Alone and nothing more

...

You treated me badly, I don't know why

When I always went all out for you

There was plenty of love and I wasted it

Just in case you were thinking about coming back

I don't think it's going to be possible with me

You even pretend to want him

Lie to me again, lie to yourself

Lie to your followers, with that charisma of yours

Lie to them

And use it like you know how to play with the mind

Oh, have fun

Because in the end, you're going to be left alone

Alone and nothing more

...

[Spanish]

Buscando una razón, la encontré

No te bastó avisarme, y pregunté

Lo que me decía la gente

Será por mi suerte o no lo sé

Me trae bien loco la champán rosé

Me duele el alma, lo que es

Miénteme de nuevo, miéntete a ti misma

Miéntele a tus ciegos, con ese carisma

Miéntele

Y úsalo como tú sabes la mente jugar

Ay, diviértete

Que al fin y sola te vas a quedar

Sola y no más

Me pagaste mal, no sé por qué

Si contigo siempre me la rifé

Sobraba amor y lo gasté

Por si pensabas querer volver

Yo creo, conmigo no se va poder

Hasta a él mismo, finges querer

Miénteme de nuevo, miéntete a ti misma

Miéntele a tus ciegos, con ese carisma

Miéntele

Y úsalo como tú sabes, la mente jugar

Ay, diviértete

Que al fin y sola te vas a quedar

Sola y no más

Key Grammar Structures

• No te bastó avisarme, y pregunté

  ➔ Past Perfect (bastó) + Past Simple (pregunté)

  ➔ The use of 'bastó' in the past perfect indicates an action completed *before* the action of asking ('pregunté'). It shows that not warning him was sufficient, and *then* he asked.

• Me trae bien loco la champán rosé

  ➔ Indirect Object Pronoun (me) + Verb (trae) + Adverb (bien) + Adjective (loco)

  ➔ The pronoun 'me' indicates that the rosé champagne *makes me* feel crazy. 'Bien' intensifies the adjective 'loco' (crazy).

• Miénteme de nuevo, miéntete a ti misma

  ➔ Imperative Mood (Miénteme, miéntete) + Reflexive Pronoun (te)

  ➔ The use of the imperative mood expresses a direct command. 'Miéntete a ti misma' is a reflexive command, meaning 'lie to yourself'.

• Hasta a él mismo, finges querer

  ➔ Prepositional Phrase (Hasta a él mismo) + Verb (finges) + Infinitive (querer)

  ➔ The phrase 'Hasta a él mismo' emphasizes that she even pretends to want *him* too, highlighting the extent of her deception. The infinitive 'querer' functions as the object of 'finges'.
