De Los Besos Que Te Di Lyrics in English by Christian Nodal
Veneno literally translates to "poison". It's a dramatic and intriguing word that adds a layer of intensity to this romantic song.
In the lyrics, Christian Nodal asks his former lover which kisses she misses more: "Aquellos tiernos o los que llevan veneno" (The tender ones or the ones that carry poison). He uses veneno metaphorically to describe kisses that were wild, dangerous, and perhaps even a little toxic, but utterly unforgettable. This powerful imagery makes it a very memorable word to learn.
This song is all about a guy who is absolutely sure his ex misses him. He's not just sitting around feeling sad; he's actively thinking about her, staying up late looking at their old photos and videos. But the core of the song is a direct challenge to her. He asks, "De los besos que te di amor / ¿A cuál de todos echas más de menos?" (Of the kisses I gave you, love / Which one do you miss the most?). He then lists all the different kinds they shared, from the sweet and innocent to the wild ones "que no tenían freno" (that had no brakes).
He gets a little cocky, reminding her that she was the one who "me dio luz verde" (gave me the green light) to start things. So how can she pretend to forget? He's completely convinced that she still thinks about him, ending with the confident line, "Estoy seguro que en las noches me recuerdas / Y los labios tú te muerdes" (I'm sure that at night you remember me / And you bite your lips). It's a classic Regional Mexican mix of heartbreak and bravado.
