Verse 1

Nobody knows how much it costs

To give up what made me happy

It's not that easy to end but it's better

Nobody has the answer

For what you didn't want to say

I can't take so much betrayal anymore

Chorus 1

And then I'm leaving

Before you think that I believe your lies

Before you break the little that's left of my heart

Before you don't remember anymore

What it is to love each other with passion

I'd better leave

Because I loved you and I no longer know how to look at you

Because it's better to leave than to keep circling the pain

Because I'd rather be wounded

And not begging for your love

Verse 2

Then I left

I already escaped to a place far from your affection

And even if I'm dying to be with you

I no longer want to be part of you

Of everything that we once said

Forgive me if I didn't warn you in time

But it's best to do it like this

Nobody has the answer

For what you couldn't say

And I can't take so much betrayal

Chorus 2

And then I'm leaving

Before you think that I believe your lies

Before you break the little that's left of my heart

Before you don't remember anymore

What it is to love each other with passion

I'd better leave

Because I loved you and I no longer know how to look at you

Because it's better to leave than to keep circling the pain

Because I'd rather be wounded

And not begging for your love

SONG MEANING

La Traición is Emanero’s heartfelt shout of liberation. Over an infectious beat, the Argentine artist tells the story of someone who has finally decided to walk away from a love filled with lies, broken promises, and too much betrayal to bear. The narrator admits that giving up what once made him happy is painful, but staying would hurt even more. By repeating “antes que…” he lists the emotional disasters he wants to dodge: believing more lies, having the last pieces of his heart shattered, and forgetting what true passion felt like.

The chorus is a brave goodbye. Instead of begging for affection, he chooses distance, even if that means nursing his wounds alone. There is a bittersweet pride in preferring to be “herido” (hurt) rather than humiliated. Emanero turns personal pain into an anthem of self-respect, reminding listeners that sometimes the most loving thing you can do for yourself is pack your bags and mejor me voy—better I leave.
