Todo Es Mentira, Menos Nosotros Lyrics in English by David Rees
Terremoto literally translates to "earthquake." It's a strong and impactful word that isn't commonly found in everyday song lyrics.
In this song, the artist uses terremoto metaphorically to describe the intense and overwhelming impact of a person. The line "Eres un terremoto, y aún no te conozco" (You are an earthquake, and I still don't know you) beautifully conveys the powerful, disruptive, and exciting feeling this person evokes, even before truly getting to know them. This makes it a memorable and intriguing word choice.
David Rees's "Todo Es Mentira, Menos Nosotros" [Everything Is a Lie, Except Us] is all about that exhilarating, slightly disorienting feeling when you're falling for someone new and everything else just fades away. He sings about moments where it's hard to tell "lo que es real y físico de lo que solo está en la mente" [what is real and physical from what is only in the mind]. It's like the world outside becomes a blur, and the only thing that feels truly real is the connection you're building.
He uses some really cool imagery to describe this intense new connection. He talks about living in a "cuento de dragones y monstruos" [story of dragons and monsters] and how this person is a "terremoto" [earthquake] – powerful and transformative, even though he still doesn't fully know them. It's a song about taking a leap of faith, wanting to fly high with someone, and how, from that elevated perspective, "todo se ve mejor" [everything looks better]. The world shrinks to just the two of you, and honestly, who wouldn't want to feel that?
