Mientele Lyrics in English by Los Bunkers
Miéntele is the imperative form of the verb mentir (to lie), combined with the indirect object pronoun le (to him/her/it). It directly translates to "Lie to him."
In the context of the song, it's a very direct and intriguing command. The speaker is urging their lover to deceive someone else, likely a partner, about their secret rendezvous. This word immediately sets a tone of secrecy and illicit romance, making it highly engaging.
Los Bunkers, a band from Chile, bring us "Miéntele" (Lie to Him), a song about a secret affair and the lengths one person goes to keep it hidden. The lyrics paint a picture of stolen moments and hushed conversations, where the singer urges their lover to deceive their partner.
It's pretty intense! The singer tells their lover, "Miéntele / No le digas lo que hiciste ayer / Cuando me viniste a ver" (Lie to him / Don't tell him what you did yesterday / When you came to see me). There's a real sense of danger, too, with the line "Sería capaz de hasta matarte por saber" (He would even be capable of killing you to know). It's a thrilling, slightly dark look at a forbidden romance.
