Me Van A Matar

Julieta Venegas' song 'Me Van A Matar' delves into the complexities and emotional turmoil of a romantic relationship that promises eternal love but ultimately leads to heartbreak. The lyrics begin with a sense of fulfillment and trust, as the narrator believes in the sincerity of her partner's declarations of love. The repeated phrase 'Y confiada en que lo nuestro es la verdad' (And confident that what we have is the truth) highlights her initial faith in the relationship's permanence.

As the song progresses, the tone shifts from hopeful to disillusioned. The line 'Lo dicho lo va comiendo lento el sol' (What was said is slowly eaten by the sun) serves as a metaphor for the gradual erosion of promises and the fading of love over time. The imagery of the sun and the sea suggests a natural, inevitable process, much like the tides that come and go. This shift is further emphasized by the realization that the promise of eternal love has been forgotten, encapsulated in the line 'Acaso será para siempre as olvidado' (Perhaps you have forgotten forever).

The chorus, 'Porque tus amores perros me van a matar, sin haberme dado la felicidad' (Because your cruel loves are going to kill me, without having given me happiness), starkly contrasts the initial optimism. The term 'amores perros' (cruel loves) conveys a sense of betrayal and emotional pain. The narrator feels that despite the promises, she has been left with nothing but heartache. This poignant reflection on the duality of love—its capacity to bring both immense joy and profound sorrow—resonates deeply, making 'Me Van A Matar' a powerful exploration of the human condition in the realm of romantic relationships.
