alevosíatreachery / perfidy

Alevosía translates to "treachery" or "perfidy," and it's a strong, dramatic word not commonly found in everyday lyrics. It implies a deliberate and malicious betrayal, often with an element of surprise or defenselessness.

In this song, the singer uses it to describe a kiss given "con tanta alevosía" (with such treachery). This suggests the kiss was not just a simple act, but one delivered with a hidden agenda or a profound emotional impact that felt like a betrayal, making it a truly captivating and memorable word.

Pavel Núñez's "Es Más, Te Perdono" is a really interesting take on forgiveness, and it's full of personality! It starts with the singer listing all these things he's willing to forgive: "el montón de palabras que ha soplado en mi oído" [the pile of words that have been whispered in my ear], and even "tus fotos y tus gatos tus comidas afuera" [your photos and your cats your meals out]. He even forgives the way this person dresses and their dog! It's almost like he's trying to convince himself how much he can overlook, even saying "te perdono amarme" [I forgive you for loving me].

But then comes the twist! There's one thing he absolutely cannot forgive: "lo que no te perdono es haberme besado con tanta alevosía" [what I don't forgive you for is having kissed me with such treachery]. He even brings in "testigos" [witnesses] like "un perro la madrugada y el frío" [a dog, the early morning, and the cold] to back him up. It's a funny and blunt way of saying that some things, especially a kiss that felt like a betrayal, are just too much to let go of, because if he did, he'd surely "olvido" [forget] it, and that's not an option.
