Sigue Mintiendo

Arturo Zambo Cavero's song 'Sigue Mintiendo' delves into the complex emotions of love, deception, and the paradoxical nature of human relationships. The lyrics reveal a protagonist who is painfully aware of their lover's deceit but finds themselves unable to sever the emotional ties. This internal conflict is poignantly expressed in the lines, 'Me he convencido que tu amor no es verdadero / Me he dado cuenta de tu engaño y más te quiero.' The protagonist acknowledges the falsehood of their partner's love yet admits that this realization only intensifies their feelings, highlighting the irrational and uncontrollable nature of love.

The song further explores the torment of memory and the struggle to move on. The lines 'No te puedo apartar de mi memoria / Tu recuerdo atormenta mis insomnios' depict a haunting persistence of the lover's memory, which disrupts the protagonist's peace and sleep. Despite the pain, the protagonist finds solace in the moments of happiness shared with their lover, as expressed in 'Si el estar junto a ti me hace dichoso / Lo que diga la gente no interesa.' This suggests a willingness to endure societal judgment and personal anguish for the fleeting joy of being with the loved one.

'Sigue Mintiendo' also touches on the theme of dependency and self-worth. The plea 'Sigue besando así, no tengas miedo / Si en los besos que das, me das la vida' underscores the protagonist's reliance on their lover's affection for a sense of purpose and vitality. The final lines, 'Sigue mintiendo así, y no te vayas / Que si me faltas tú, no valgo nada,' reveal a deep-seated fear of abandonment and a belief that their value is intrinsically tied to the presence of their deceitful lover. This poignant portrayal of love's darker facets resonates with anyone who has experienced the pain of loving someone who may not truly reciprocate their feelings.
