Te Burlaste

La Beriso's song 'Te Burlaste' delves deep into the emotional turmoil of betrayal and heartbreak. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a person grappling with the aftermath of a devastating relationship. The opening lines, 'Decime cómo vivo tan perdido / Si mi casa es un baldío / Y mi cuerpo no da más,' set the tone for the song, highlighting the protagonist's sense of loss and desolation. The imagery of a house being an empty lot and a body that can no longer endure underscores the depth of their despair.

The song continues to explore the theme of betrayal, with the protagonist lamenting how they gave their all—'Yo te di mis noches y mis días / Mis mejores melodías'—only to be met with treachery. The 'maldita noche' (cursed night) becomes a pivotal moment, marking the point of no return in the relationship. The betrayal is not just emotional but almost physical, as the lyrics describe the heart-wrenching pain of being metaphorically shot seven times, 'Me tiraste siete tiros / Me rompiste el corazón.' This powerful metaphor emphasizes the severity of the emotional wound inflicted.

The chorus, 'Solo pido que Dios te mande un castigo / Por dejarme tirado en el olvido,' reveals the protagonist's desire for divine retribution. The repetition of 'otra vez que te burlaste' (once again you mocked me) in the context of Buenos Aires nights adds a layer of cultural specificity, grounding the personal anguish in a familiar urban setting. La Beriso's raw and emotive delivery, combined with the poignant lyrics, makes 'Te Burlaste' a compelling exploration of love, betrayal, and the quest for justice in the face of deep personal hurt.
