Los premios pinocho

Melendi's song 'Los premios pinocho' delves into the emotional turmoil and eventual liberation from a toxic relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a love that has turned sour, filled with deceit and manipulation. The title itself, referencing the 'Premios Pinocho' (Pinocchio Awards), is a metaphor for lies and dishonesty, likening the partner to the famous wooden puppet known for his growing nose whenever he lied. This sets the tone for the entire song, where Melendi expresses his frustration and disillusionment with a partner who has repeatedly deceived him.

The song begins with the lines 'Piedra, tijera o papel, Pase lo que pase contigo, Siempre me tocará perder,' which translates to 'Rock, paper, or scissors, No matter what happens with you, I will always lose.' This metaphor highlights the futility and imbalance in the relationship, where the singer feels destined to lose no matter what he does. The recurring theme of deception is further emphasized with lines like 'Tus palabras no lo arreglan todo corazón, Las heridas no pasan solas,' meaning 'Your words don't fix everything, darling, Wounds don't heal on their own.' This underscores the deep emotional scars left by the partner's lies.

As the song progresses, Melendi declares his decision to move on, symbolized by 'Fundiendo con el sol, De este nuevo amanecer,' or 'Melting with the sun, Of this new dawn.' This imagery of a new beginning signifies his resolve to break free from the toxic relationship and start afresh. The repeated refrain 'Lo siento, yo no soy de madera, Ni miento,' which means 'I'm sorry, I'm not made of wood, Nor do I lie,' contrasts his honesty with the partner's deceit, reinforcing his integrity and the emotional pain caused by the partner's betrayal. The song concludes with a sense of empowerment and clarity, as Melendi recognizes the partner as a 'mala actriz' or 'bad actress,' acknowledging the facade and moving forward with his life.
