Mentira Lyrics in English Chita

Home / Lyrics Translation / Chita / Mentira

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Mentira by Chita from Spanish to English.

There were so many turns in the same place

Alone with my sorrows, I'm going to hide away

Now I'm certain, I don't want to have you near

You were just an idea, I was always one that dreams

But now I'm awake, your kisses don't tempt me

I don't wait for your surprises anymore, I don't believe in your promises anymore

Time goes by and you haven't changed anything

You keep playing the same cards

But I don't fall into your traps anymore

Now I'm the one that says 'enough'

You said that you wanted

To look at yourself in my eyes for a lifetime

Now I feel that that's a lie

Lie, lie

You said that you wanted

To look at yourself in my eyes for a lifetime

Now I know that that's a lie

Lie, lie

I only see you when the sun isn't there

You always move in the dark

Look for me one day, because I won't be there

I don't have time to wait anymore

I melt my papers

Again and again until I don't want to see you

I go out to the street to feel stronger

But I want that you try it

Time goes by and you haven't changed anything

You keep playing the same cards

But I don't fall into your traps anymore

Now I'm the one that says 'enough'

You said that you wanted

To look at yourself in my eyes for a lifetime

Now I feel that that's a lie

Lie, lie

You said that you wanted

To look at yourself in my eyes for a lifetime

Now I know that that's a lie

Lie, lie

Time goes by and you haven't changed anything

You keep playing the same cards

But I don't fall into your traps anymore

Now I'm the one that says 'enough'

You said that you wanted

To look at yourself in my eyes for a lifetime

Now I feel that that's a lie

Lie, lie

You said that you wanted

To look at yourself in my eyes for a lifetime

Now I know that that's a lie

Lie, lie

You said that you wanted

To look at me all your life

Now I feel that it's a lie

Lie, lie

You said that you wanted

To look at me all your life

Now I feel that it's a lie

Lie, lie

SONG MEANING

Chita’s "Mentira" turns heartbreak into a bold declaration of independence. The narrator looks back on a love that went in endless circles, "seguís jugando las mismas cartas," and finally sees through all the sweet talk. What once felt like a never-ending dream now feels like a blatant lie, echoed by the chant of "Mentira, mentira." She realizes the promise of gazing into her eyes "una vida" was pure fiction, so she shuts the door on that darkness for good.

The track swings between nostalgic melancholy and fierce empowerment, making it both relatable and uplifting. With lines like "Ahora soy yo la que dice 'basta'" Chita flips the script, reclaiming her time, her strength, and her future. The pulsing beat mirrors her new confidence as she melts old love letters, steps into the street, and dares her ex to search for her now that she is wide awake. "Mentira" is a shimmering reminder that spotting a lie is the first step to freedom.
