Si Fueras Mi Enemigo Lyrics in English by Andrés Cepeda
Embrujado translates to "bewitched" or "enchanted." It's a captivating word that evokes a sense of magic and being under a spell, which is less common in everyday song lyrics.
In the song, the singer uses embrujado to describe how he feels completely captivated and controlled by his love interest, despite the pain she causes him. He sings, "Me tienes embrujado" (You have me bewitched), highlighting his inability to leave her, as if he's under an irresistible enchantment.
Andrés Cepeda, a Colombian artist, really pours his heart out in "Si Fueras Mi Enemigo"! This song is all about that kind of love that's so intense, it actually hurts. He sings, "Se necesita amarte mucho mucho / Para poder perdonarte como siempre lo hago yo" [It takes loving you so, so much / To be able to forgive you like I always do]. It's a feeling many of us can relate to – being so deeply in love that you keep forgiving someone, even when they cause you pain.
He feels completely under her spell, saying, "No se que hacer contigo / Me tienes embrujado" [I don't know what to do with you / You have me bewitched]. The title line, "Si fueras mi enemigo / No me harías tanto daño" [If you were my enemy / You wouldn't hurt me so much], really hits hard. It shows how the deepest wounds often come from the people we love the most. Despite all the hurt, he admits, "No se respirar si no te siento mía" [I can't breathe if I don't feel you're mine], showing just how dependent he feels on this complicated love. It's a powerful look at the struggle of wanting to leave someone who hurts you, but being unable to.
