10 Veces Mejor Lyrics in English by Kurt
Pretextos translates to "pretexts" or "excuses." It's an interesting word because it implies a deliberate fabrication or a false reason given to justify an action, rather than a simple mistake.
In the song, the singer, after being hurt, declares he will find someone better who will have "mil pretextos para estar juntos" (a thousand excuses to be together). This shows a shift from a relationship filled with pain to one where the new partner actively seeks reasons to be with him, highlighting a positive and eager commitment.
Have you ever been so hurt by someone that you just want to erase them from your memory? Kurt's "10 Veces Mejor" [10 Times Better] totally gets it! This song is all about shaking off a bad breakup and realizing you deserve so much more. Our singer starts out feeling totally betrayed, saying, "Me engañaste y jugaste con lo que alguna vez sentí por ti" [You deceived me and played with what I once felt for you]. Ouch!
But instead of staying down, he decides to rise above it. He's done even thinking about this person, declaring, "No quiero ni siquiera mencionar tu nombre" [I don't even want to mention your name]. The best part is his confidence that he'll find someone way better, someone who truly values him. He's looking for someone "Que sepa valorar mi corazón y que le sobren los te quieros" [Who knows how to value my heart and has plenty of 'I love you's]. By the end, he's not just moving on, he's celebrating the fact that he'll find "Alguien 10 veces mejor que tú" [Someone 10 times better than you]. It's such a great anthem for anyone who's been through a tough split and is ready to find happiness again!
