Canción De Mierda Lyrics in English Mon Laferte

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Canción De Mierda by Mon Laferte from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
I'm gonna start washing the cups
To see if that way the pain goes away
But I stay sad and alone
I dance tango with a gun
They say that bad weed never dies
That's why I make you this sh*tty song
With the simplest harmony
I'm gonna stab you with this melody
Chorus 1
You, what are you gonna know
If you don't bleed once a month
Survive
It always happens to me for surviving
Survive
It's a matter of time
It's not wishing you ill
It's karma
Verse 2
With you always on the edge of the abyss
Visiting tears like tourism
I'm gonna let my veins grow
To drench the world with all my pain
Chorus 2
You, what are you gonna know
If you don't bleed once a month
Survive
It always happens to me for surviving
Survive
It's a matter of time
It's not wishing you ill
It's karma
Chorus 3
Survive
It always happens to me for surviving
Survive
It's a matter of time
It's not wishing you ill
It's karma

SONG MEANING

Canción De Mierda is Mon Laferte’s tongue-in-cheek way of turning heartbreak into art. While she sarcastically calls it a “shitty song,” the lyrics reveal a clever mix of domestic routine (washing dishes), dark humor (dancing tango with a gun), and raw fury. She sings about an ex who will never understand her pain—highlighted in the biting line “Tú, qué vas a saber / Si tú no sangras una vez al mes.” By pointing to menstruation as a symbol of embodied suffering, Mon Laferte underlines the gap between their experiences and asserts a distinctly feminine perspective.

Amid the sarcasm and anger, the chorus repeats “Sobrevivir” (to survive), turning the song into an anthem of resilience. Instead of wishing her ex harm, she trusts karma to do the work, choosing music as her weapon. The simple melody she promises to “stab” him with becomes a cathartic release—proof that even in the depths of sorrow, creativity and humor can keep us dancing on the edge of the abyss.
