Golpes En El Corazón Lyrics in English by Los Autenticos Decadentes, Natalia Lafourcade
Reñimos comes from the verb reñir, which means to argue, quarrel, or fight. It's a strong verb that goes beyond a simple disagreement, implying a more intense conflict.
In the song, the line "Hoy reñimos y te olvidas" (Today we argue and you forget) highlights the cyclical and painful nature of the relationship. It's an interesting word because it captures the emotional turmoil and conflict central to the song's narrative, making it more impactful than a common word like "discutimos" (we discuss/argue).
Have you ever given your all in a relationship, only to feel like you got nothing but heartache in return? That's exactly what Los Auténticos Decadentes and Natalia Lafourcade are singing about in "Golpes en el Corazón" [Blows to the Heart]. The singer constantly reminds their ex, "Yo te regalaba todo, Todo lo que me pedías" [I gave you everything, Everything you asked for], even sacrificing friendships and arguing with their own mother for this person. Talk about dedication!
But what did they get back? "Falsas promesas de amor" [False promises of love] and, as the title says, "Golpes en el corazón" [Blows to the heart]. It's a relatable story of feeling used and unappreciated, leading to the decision to move on and find someone new "Para sanar las heridas, Voy a buscar otro amor" [To heal the wounds, I'm going to look for another love]. It's a powerful anthem for anyone who's been through a tough breakup and is ready to heal.
