Miénteme

In 'Miénteme,' Victor Yturbide Piruli delves into the complex emotions of a person who knowingly accepts deceit in their relationship. The song's protagonist is fully aware that their partner's affection is insincere, yet they choose to live with these lies.

The lyrics, 'Voy viviendo ya de tus mentiras' (I am already living off your lies), set the tone for a narrative steeped in self-awareness and resignation.

The song explores themes of self-punishment and the paradoxical comfort found in falsehoods. The protagonist acknowledges their partner's deceitful nature, as seen in lines like 'se que mientes al besar y mientes al decir te quiero' (I know you lie when you kiss and lie when you say you love me). Despite this, they find solace in the lies, suggesting a deep-seated need for any form of affection, even if it is not genuine. This paradox is further emphasized in the chorus, where the protagonist asks to be lied to for eternity, finding happiness in the partner's malice.

Culturally, the song reflects a common theme in Latin music, where love and suffering are often intertwined.
