Calumnia Lyrics in English by Carlos Rivera, Prince Royce
Calumnia translates to "slander" or "calumny." It's a strong and dramatic word that isn't commonly found in everyday song lyrics, making it stand out.
In the song, Carlos Rivera uses it to describe the false rumors and lies spread about him regarding his love life. He sings, "Porque sería una mentira, una calumnia, un engaño" (Because it would be a lie, a slander, a deception), emphasizing the hurtful nature of these untrue statements and his refusal to let them tarnish his genuine feelings.
Carlos Rivera and Prince Royce team up for "Calumnia," a song that's all about shutting down rumors and defending true love. Carlos starts by acknowledging the gossip: "Ya sé que andan diciendo por ahí / Que soy un tipo complicado / Que me hacen fama de vivir / Regando amor por todos lados" [I know they're saying out there / That I'm a complicated guy / That they're giving me a reputation for living / Spreading love everywhere]. He admits that maybe he's not perfect, even saying "Perderme entre unos labios / Es el mejor de mis pecados" [Losing myself among lips / Is the best of my sins].
But here's the kicker: none of that matters when it comes to the person he loves. He's firm that "Nadie te puede decir / Mi vida, que no te amo / Porque sería una mentira / Una calumnia, un engaño" [Nobody can tell you / My love, that I don't love you / Because it would be a lie / A calumny, a deception]. He won't let anyone "ensucie mis manos / Las que acarician tu cara / Las que han llenado tu espacio" [dirty my hands / The ones that caress your face / The ones that have filled your space]. It's a powerful message about protecting a genuine connection from outside noise, reminding us that what truly matters is the bond between two people.
