Engañada

In the song 'Engañada' by Los Tri-o, the lyrics delve into the emotional turmoil of a breakup. The singer addresses their former lover, expressing a sense of resignation and determination. The opening lines, 'No creas que si tu te alejas te voy a rogar,' set the tone for the song, indicating that the singer will not beg for their partner to stay. Instead, they resolve to find another love, one that truly knows how to love. This sentiment is reinforced with the acknowledgment of the inevitable suffering that comes with heartbreak, but also the hope of eventual healing and forgetting the past love.

The metaphor of a 'mariposa del amor' or 'butterfly of love' is particularly poignant. Butterflies are often symbols of transformation and fleeting beauty, suggesting that the love they shared was beautiful but ultimately transient. The line 'Juguete del destino' or 'Toy of destiny' implies that their relationship was subject to the whims of fate, further emphasizing the unpredictability and impermanence of love. The singer's acceptance of this reality is evident in the lines 'Hoy te toco reir a ti mañana a mi,' which translate to 'Today it's your turn to laugh, tomorrow it's mine,' indicating a belief in the cyclical nature of happiness and sorrow.

The song also touches on the theme of self-deception with the lines 'Sueñas que eres muy hermosa, Vives engañada,' meaning 'You dream that you are very beautiful, you live deceived.' This suggests that the former lover is living in a delusion, believing in their own allure and worth, but lacking true emotional depth. The final line, 'No tienes corazón, tu amor no vale nada,' translates to 'You have no heart, your love is worth nothing,' delivering a powerful statement about the superficiality of the former lover's affection. Through these lyrics, Los Tri-o captures the pain of unrequited love and the journey towards self-empowerment and healing.
