Yo Le Mentí Lyrics in English Marc Anthony

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Yo Le Mentí by Marc Anthony from Spanish to English.
By day everything's fine, all normal
My smile feels natural
Twelve hours of pure happiness
But at night, even if I want to, it's not the same
I want to be like you to get away
And not have this urge to call you
You'll see if you miss me or if the same happens to you
I already tried, but I don't know how to forget you
Because in the bed where you told me 'I love you' it's me who has to sleep
Sleep by myself
I gave your side to someone else and I don't get why, since it's only for you
It's only for you
Whoever I told that I'd forget you with drinks, I clearly lied
I lied to them
Don't ask me anymore how many bottles I've had, I already drank them all
And I still think of you, hey!
I want to be like you to get away
And not have this urge to call you
You'll see if you miss me or if the same happens to you
I already tried, but I don't know how to forget you
Because in the bed where you told me 'I love you' it's me who has to sleep
Sleep by myself
I gave your side to someone else, I don't get why, since it's only for you
It's only for you
Whoever I told that I'd forget you with drinks, I clearly lied
I lied to them
Don't ask me anymore how many bottles I've had, I already drank them all
And I still think of you
(It's my turn
To forget you now
But I don't know
How it's done)
(It's my turn
To forget you now
But I don't know
How it's done)
Oh, I'd like to forget
I'd like to rip you out
But I don't know
Oh, I don't know how it's done, yeah!
(It's my turn
To forget you now
But I don't know
How it's done)
Oh, man!
Hit it, Motiff
(It's my turn
To forget you now
But I don't know
How it's done) And it goes!

SONG MEANING

Marc Anthony’s Yo Le Mentí is a confessional roller-coaster where fiery salsa rhythms collide with raw heartbreak. By day the singer fakes a flawless smile, but when night falls he crashes into memories of the lover who once shared his bed. Shots of tequila, new company, and bold bravado can’t mask the truth: every "I’m over you" he tells friends is a lie he keeps sipping down.

The lyrics capture that tug-of-war between wanting to move on and being chained to the past. He envies his ex’s apparent ease at letting go, yet he is the one still counting empty bottles and empty spaces on the mattress. The song becomes a cathartic anthem for anyone who has ever tried to dance their pain away—proof that even the most infectious tropical groove can hide a heart that refuses to forget.
