Amor Y Veneno Lyrics in English by Ana Bárbara
Hipocresía translates to "hypocrisy." It's a strong and emotionally charged word that immediately conveys betrayal and deceit.
In "Amor Y Veneno," the singer uses this word to express her deep disappointment and hurt upon discovering her lover's insincerity. She sings, "Que triste enterarme de tu hipocresía" (How sad to find out about your hypocrisy), highlighting the pain of realizing that the love she believed in was built on lies.
Ana Bárbara really brings the drama in "Amor Y Veneno"! This song is all about the sting of betrayal from a lover who wasn't who they seemed. She sings, "Te amé cómo a nadie / Y el cielo es testigo / De mis noches frías / Tú eras mi abrigo" [I loved you like no one else / And heaven is my witness / In my cold nights / You were my shelter], showing just how deeply she cared. But then, the truth comes out: "Que triste enterarme / De tu hipocresía / Todas tus mentiras / A diario crecían" [How sad to find out / About your hypocrisy / All your lies / Grew daily].
She's not holding back her anger, telling this person, "El no perdonarte / Será tu castigo" [Not forgiving you / Will be your punishment]. It's clear this wasn't just a simple breakup; she feels like he left "Tu sangre en mis venas" [Your blood in my veins], a powerful image of how deeply he affected her, only to realize, "Si no eras tan mío / También eras de ella" [If you weren't so mine / You were also hers]. The title, "Amor y Veneno" [Love and Poison], perfectly sums up how she feels he gave her both at the same time.
