Mientes Lyrics in English by Camila
Arrepientes comes from the verb arrepentirse, meaning "to regret" or "to repent". It's a powerful emotional word that goes beyond a simple "sorry".
In the song's dramatic chorus, the singer accuses their partner: "Mientes, me haces daño y luego te arrepientes" (You lie, you hurt me, and then you regret it). This word is key to the song's story, describing a toxic cycle of hurt and hollow apologies that the singer is finally ready to break.
This song is a powerful anthem for anyone who's ever been in a relationship that just keeps hurting them. The singer from Camila lays it all out, starting with how this person became their whole world. They admit they followed them with their eyes closed: "con los ojos cerrados te seguí" [I followed you with my eyes closed]. But that devotion only led to pain, and the singer realizes the person they fell for was a fantasy: "No eres la persona que pensé, que creí, que pedí" [You're not the person I thought, that I believed in, that I asked for].
The chorus is where the singer finally takes their power back. They call out the other person's toxic cycle of hurting them and then feeling sorry: "Mientes, me haces daño y luego te arrepientes" [You lie, you hurt me and then you regret it]. The most frustrating part? Just when the singer is about to move on, the person shows up again. But this time is different. The final message is a firm declaration of independence: "Busca tu camino en otra parte... Que hoy estoy mejor sin ti" [Find your way somewhere else... Because today I'm better without you].
