Sería Más Fácil Lyrics in English by Carlos Rivera
Fingir means 'to pretend' or 'to feign', describing the act of putting on a false appearance or showing an emotion you don't really feel.
In this heartbreaking song, Carlos Rivera sings, "No voy a fingir que no duele" (I'm not going to pretend that it doesn't hurt). He uses this powerful verb to declare that he won't hide his pain, making it a key word for the song's theme of vulnerability and honest suffering after a relationship ends.
Mexican singer Carlos Rivera hits on a painful truth in "Sería Más Fácil": sometimes nobody did anything terrible, but the relationship still starved to death. He runs through the mundane culprits right away—a busy schedule ("mi falta de tiempo" [my lack of time]), heavy silences, and running out of patience ("se cansó la paciencia"). Neither person cheated or started a massive fight. Rivera sings that you don't even need to point fingers: "No hace falta que te diga / O que me digas que hicimos mal" ("There's no need for me to tell you, or for you to tell me, what we did wrong"). The everyday phrase no hace falta is great for learners; it simply means "there is no need" or "it isn't necessary."
The hardest line to swallow is the chorus hook: "Sería más fácil odiarnos" ("It would be easier to hate each other"). Hating an ex gives you someone to blame and an easy villain, but parting ways when you still care is torture. He admits he won't pretend it doesn't hurt ("No voy a fingir que no duele"), especially knowing that everything they once planned ("todo lo que planeamos") just has to be thrown away. It is an honest, bittersweet breakup track about two people who simply let the clock run out on their love.
