In a bar in my hood I don't wanna remember
I saw my boyfriend kissing my friend
The pain of tasting such a deadly poison
Wasting time on two people I loved
And with my own eyes I see a paper fairytale
'My queen,' you'd say, and I believed you
The queen of nothing is what I was
An absurd Cinderella, that's how I felt
Lost in a real-life fairytale
How can it be?
I repeatedly asked you
For more than one explanation
'You're crazy,' that's what you'd tell me
Today I believed this paper fairytale again
And to get away from that nonsense
And with my hands I'll tear up
The paper fairytale
'My queen,' you'd say, and I believed you
The queen of nothing is what I was
An absurd Cinderella
That's how I felt
Lost in a real-life fairytale
How can it be?
Suddenly I remembered I wanted to be happy
Oh, pain, love, pain, pain, don't ever come back
I'll overcome, I'll steal back my paper fairytale
'My queen,' you'd say, and I believed you
The queen of nothing is what I was
An absurd Cinderella
That's how I felt
Lost in a real-life fairytale
Auh
'My queen,' you'd say, and I believed you
The queen of nothing is what I was
An absurd Cinderella
That's how I felt
Lost in a real-life fairytale
This is over

Cenicienta is the Spanish name for the classic fairytale character, "Cinderella". It's a fantastic word to learn because it connects a story you already know to the Spanish language.

In the song, Chenoa gives this fairytale a dark twist, calling herself an "Absurda Cenicienta" (Absurd Cinderella). She uses this to express how foolish and naive she felt after discovering her own fairytale romance was a lie. This clever use of a well-known character makes it a very powerful and memorable part of the song.

Have you ever felt like you were living in a fairy tale that suddenly turned into a nightmare? That's the exact feeling Chenoa captures in "Absurda Cenicienta." The song kicks off with a classic, painful story: she walks into a bar and sees her boyfriend kissing her best friend. He used to call her his queen and made her believe in their perfect cuento de papel (paper fairy tale). But after seeing the truth, she realizes she was the queen of nothing, feeling like an absurda cenicienta—a ridiculous Cinderella lost in a story that was painfully real.

But this isn't just a sad song; it’s an anthem of empowerment! At first, she's crushed, and when she asks for an explanation, he just calls her crazy. Then, something clicks. She suddenly remembers she deserves to be happy. Instead of waiting for a prince to save her, Chenoa decides to become her own hero. She vows to break the paper fairy tale with her own hands and take back her story. It's a powerful message about finding your strength after betrayal and writing your own happy ending.
