Trastornos means 'disorders', a compelling and emotionally raw word that goes beyond everyday vocabulary.
In this deeply personal song, Mon Laferte sings "Sufro de trastornos" (I suffer from disorders), giving listeners a candid glimpse into her mental health struggles. This word is rare in pop music lyrics and adds a layer of psychological depth to the song's theme of obsessive love. It makes you want to understand the full story behind her pain.
Have you ever tried to get over someone, but your brain just refuses to cooperate? That's the entire mood of this amazing song by Chilean-Mexican artist Mon Laferte. She sings about trying to move on, but it's a total failure. She tells us, "Quise borrarte, olvidarte / Pero te vuelvo a recordar" [I wanted to erase you, forget you / But I remember you again]. She knows how unhealthy this obsession is—her psychiatrist even told her to stop because it's causing her so much pain! But she describes this love as a violent force she can't control, something that gets "incrusta como bala" [embedded like a bullet] and that "me ahorca y que me mata" [chokes me and kills me].
Everything comes down to one simple, desperate wish: "Todo sería diferente si tú me quisieras" [Everything would be different if you wanted me]. If this person loved her back, she imagines she would drop everything, even her therapy sessions. It's a powerful fantasy about how one person's love could solve all her problems. The song ends with a final, frustrated punch, adding a common Mexican curse word to the main line: "Si tú me pinches quisieras" [If you fucking wanted me]. It’s a raw and incredibly honest way to express that feeling of being completely stuck on someone.
