Perdón, Perdón Lyrics in English by Ha*Ash

Idealice is the past tense of the verb idealizar, meaning "to idealize". It's a fantastic word to describe the act of imagining someone as perfect or better than they really are, often ignoring their flaws.

In this emotional song, the singer laments, "Te idealice a mi lado en mis noches y días" (I idealized you by my side in my nights and days). She's not just apologizing to her ex; she's apologizing for creating a "false love story" by refusing to see the reality of the person she was with.

This song is called "Perdón, Perdón," which means "Forgiveness, Forgiveness," but it's not the kind of apology you might think! The singer isn't asking for forgiveness from her ex. Instead, she's sarcastically apologizing for her own mistakes in loving him. She sings about how she fooled herself, seeing "colores en un cielo gris" [colors in a gray sky] and clinging to the idea that he was the love of her life. She calls herself a fool, "que tonta fuí" [how silly I was], for trusting him so completely.

All of these apologies build up to the song's incredible final twist. After saying she's sorry for creating a "falsa historia de amor" [false love story], she delivers the final blow. The real thing she's sorry for is "Por haber esperado demasiado / De un perdedor" [For having expected too much / From a loser]. It's a powerful song about realizing you ignored all the warning signs and finally seeing someone for who they truly are.
