Verse 1
I already know how strange it is
To see you here, to see you again
It suits you well to be with him
That if I could forget you
Your question is unnecessary
I also have fallen in love again
Chorus 1
Who do I want to lie to?
Or: Who am I trying to fool?
Why do I want to pretend that I forgot you?
I try to convince myself
That you're in the past
And I erased you from my mind and soul
Who do I want to lie to?
Why do I want to pretend that I forgot you?
I try to convince myself
That I didn't feel a love so deep
And you remained in the past
I try to forget you
I really try
But I can't manage it
Verse 2
You see already, I'm at peace
Our love had an end
It was the most natural thing
I forgot for a while
Everything that could've been
Without you, I was born again
Chorus 2
Who do I want to lie to?
Why do I want to pretend that I forgot you?
I try to convince myself
That I didn't feel a love so deep
And you remained in the past
Who do I want to lie to?
Why do I want to pretend that I forgot you?
I try to convince myself
That you're in the past
And I erased you from my mind and soul
Chorus 3
Who do I want to lie to?
Why do I want to pretend that I forgot you?
I try to convince myself
That I didn't feel a love so deep
And you remained in the past
I try to forget you
I really try
But I can't manage it

SONG MEANING

“A Quién Quiero Mentirle” puts a sizzling salsa spin on one of love’s most familiar battles: convincing yourself you have moved on when your heart says otherwise. Over infectious horns and driving percussion, Marc Anthony plays the role of a man who keeps repeating that he is fine, that the relationship ended naturally, that he has even loved again. Yet every triumphant claim is chased by the same haunting question: “¿A quién quiero mentirle?” — “Who am I trying to fool?” In other words, he is dancing as fast as he can to hide the truth that memories of his ex still dominate both his mind and soul.

The song invites listeners to feel the tug-of-war between pride and vulnerability. On the surface, there is confident swagger, but underneath lie raw admissions like “Yo trato de olvidarte… pero no lo consigo” (I try to forget you, but I just can’t). This contrast makes the track relatable and cathartic: we sway to the rhythm while confronting our own half-truths about moving on. By the final chorus, the music bursts with fiery brass lines as if echoing the unavoidable truth — the heart rarely listens to logic, and sometimes the hardest person to convince is ourselves.
