¿Desde Cuándo No Me Quieres? Lyrics in English by Banda Carnaval
Lastimarme means "to hurt me" or "to harm me." It's a poignant word that captures the emotional core of the song, which is about the pain of a love that has faded.
The singer is asking, "Desde cuándo no me quieres... Por temor a lastimarme?" (Since when have you not loved me... For fear of hurting me?). This word is key to understanding the vulnerability and heartbreak expressed in the lyrics, making it both memorable and emotionally resonant.
Have you ever been completely blindsided by a breakup? That's exactly what Banda Carnaval's "¿Desde Cuándo No Me Quieres?" [Since When Don't You Love Me?] is all about. The singer is reeling from the discovery that his partner has been unfaithful, and he's desperate to know how long he's been living a lie.
He asks, "Desde cuándo no me quieres?" [Since when don't you love me?] and "Hace cuánto te cansaste y lo callaste?" [How long ago did you get tired and keep quiet about it?]. He's trying to piece together the timeline of his partner's deception, even asking for details like "Hace cuánto se dan besos dime para calcular el tiempo que fuí un idiota" [How long ago did you kiss each other, tell me so I can calculate the time I was an idiot]. It's a really blunt and heartbreaking look at realizing you've been sharing your life, and your time, with someone who's already moved on.
