Mentiroso Lyrics in English by Enrique Iglesias

Mentiroso directly translates to "liar". It's a powerful and emotionally charged word that serves as the title and central theme of this dramatic song.

In the lyrics, Enrique Iglesias confesses his faults and admits he's a mentiroso for making false promises. However, he creates a beautiful contradiction by swearing that the one thing he never lied about was the depth of his love, singing "Y de eso sí que nunca te mentí" (And about that, I never lied to you). This twist makes mentiroso a complex and unforgettable word in the song.

Have you ever felt like you weren't quite the person your partner thought you were? In "Mentiroso," Enrique Iglesias lays it all out on the table. He starts with a pretty blunt confession: "Yo no soy aquel que tú te imaginabas" (I am not the one you imagined) and "El hombre de tus sueños, ese no soy yo" (The man of your dreams, that's not me). He admits he's not the perfect man she fell for and even asks for forgiveness if he's let her down.

Then he drops the big one, calling himself a "Mentiroso" (Liar). He confesses that he's deceived her and made empty promises just "Para estar aquí a ti lado" (To be here by your side). But here's the twist! Just when you think it's a breakup song, he reveals the one thing he was always honest about. He sings, "Pero es que te quiero tanto / Tú no te imaginas cuánto / Y de eso sí que nunca te mentí" (But it's that I love you so much / You can't imagine how much / And about that, I never lied to you). So, he might have faked being the perfect guy, but his love was always real.
