Mi Buen Amor Lyrics in English by Mon Laferte, Enrique Bunbury
Terapias is the Spanish word for "therapies". It's a powerful and strikingly modern word that you don't often hear in a song, immediately signaling a story of deep emotional struggle.
In this ballad, Mon Laferte sings about everything she had to endure after a painful relationship: "Las terapias, los amores de mentira..." (The therapies, the fake loves...). This single word paints a vivid picture of the healing process, making the song's raw and honest story incredibly intriguing.
This song is a powerful and very direct message to an ex who just won't get the hint. Mon Laferte sings from the perspective of someone who is completely done with being messed around. Her former partner keeps promising that this time, "Todo va a estar bien" (Everything will be alright), but she knows better. She's tired of him "jugar a pedir sin nada dar" (playing at asking without giving anything in return) and has decided she's not waiting around anymore.
The whole situation is maddening because he's the one who leaves, but he also keeps coming back. She asks the big question: "Si no quieres regresar / Por qué vuelves a buscarme una vez más?" (If you don't want to come back / Why do you look for me one more time?). After everything she's been through to heal, including "Las terapias, los amores de mentira" (Therapy, fake loves), he has the nerve to ask for one last night and then suggests they become friends. Her response is perfect: "Pues amigo, dime cómo borro esto que siento" (Well friend, tell me how I erase what I feel). It's a final, firm rejection of his games.
