Dime La Verdad Lyrics in English Marta Sánchez
Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Dime La Verdad by Marta Sánchez from Spanish to English.
Me pregunto mil veces
I ask myself a thousand times
Quién gobierna mi vida
who governs my life
Quién dirige mi mente
who directs my mind
Junto a la de los demás
along with everyone else's
Qué poderes en la sombra
What powers in the shadows
Juegan con mi voluntad
play with my will
Una máquina los nombra
a machine names them
Para podernos controlar
to be able to control us
Estribillo
Chorus
Dime la verdad
Tell me the truth
Dime su secreto
tell me their secret
Toda la verdad
All the truth
No le tengas miedo
don't be afraid
Somos unas marionetas
We are puppets
Otros mueven los hilos
others move the strings
No se quitan la careta
They don't take off their mask
No sabemos cómo son
we don't know what they're like
Utilizan las palabras
They use words
Sólo para confundir
only to confuse
Yo no sé si la esperanza
I don't know if hope
Conseguirá sobrevivir
will manage to survive
Estribillo
Chorus
Qué poderes en la sombra
What powers in the shadows
Juegan con mi voluntad
play with my will
Una máquina los nombra
a machine names them
Para podernos controlar

Estribillo

Did you like this lyrics translation?
marionetas — puppets
Marionetas translates to "puppets". It's an evocative word that immediately brings to mind images of control and manipulation, which is central to the song's theme.
In "Dime La Verdad," Marta Sánchez uses this word to describe how people feel like they are being controlled by unseen forces, singing, "Somos unas marionetas, otros mueven los hilos" (We are puppets, others pull the strings). This metaphor powerfully conveys a sense of helplessness and the desire to uncover the truth behind who is truly in charge.
