Ingenua Lyrics in English Dulce María

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Ingenua by Dulce María from Spanish to English.
Loving you was total stupidity
One step beyond good and evil
A storm of pain
A horror story
A pink dream that today is gray
Worthless words
I know that I was naive and I felt
Hanging butterflies in the sky
And today I'm trembling at ground level
I was naive and I made you my air
And today life is a desert
For loving you with an open heart
I'll try to rebuild my peace
Burn your kisses and not look back
I gave you my oxygen and my voice
I made a world for two
You made me believe in you
And then you said, 'goodbye'
I know that I was naive and I felt
Hanging butterflies in the sky
And today I'm trembling at ground level
I was naive and I made you my air
And today life is a desert
For loving you with an open heart
Oh-uh-oh-uh-oh
I know that I was naive and I felt
Hanging butterflies in the sky
And today I'm trembling at ground level
I was naive and I made you my air
And today life is a desert
For loving you with an open heart
Oh-uh-oh-uh-oh
Oh-uh-oh-uh

SONG MEANING

Ingenua is Dulce María’s emotional confession about what happens when love looks like a fairytale but ends as a horror story. The singer remembers giving everything – her breath, her voice, her dreams – to someone who seemed perfect. At first she felt like she was “hanging butterflies in the sky,” a vivid image of blissful, innocent romance. Suddenly the sky turns gray, her dream collapses, and she is left “trembling on the ground,” discovering that her devotion was a “total stupidity.”

The song swings between sweet memory and raw pain, painting love as a desert when the other person leaves. Yet beneath the heartbreak lies a hint of strength: she promises to “rebuild my peace” and burn the kisses that hurt her. Ingenua is both a heartbreak anthem and a wake-up call, reminding us that even the most crushing goodbye can spark self-rediscovery and the decision to breathe on our own again.
