Te Menti Lyrics in English by Ozuna, Saiko, Ovy On The Drums
Egoísta translates directly to "selfish". While it's a common word, its placement and the raw honesty with which Ozuna uses it make it particularly striking in this song.
He confesses, "Me siento egoísta y eufórico / Cuando estoy adentro de otra" (I feel selfish and euphoric / When I'm inside another). This stark admission of his conflicting emotions – feeling selfish for being with someone else while still longing for his ex – provides a deep insight into his character and the song's central theme of regret and unresolved feelings. It's a powerful and relatable human emotion that many listeners can connect with.
Ozuna, Saiko and Ovy on the Drums open with a confession instead of an apology. The hook says it outright: “Te mentí” [I lied to you]. Two lines later he admits he's still checking up on her: “No te he borrao', todavía sigo pendiente a ti” [I haven't deleted you, I'm still checking up on you]. He'd quit drinking, then went right back to it the moment she left: “Había dejado el alcohol, pero volví” [I had quit drinking, but I went back].
The rest of the song sits in that same spot between guilt and wanting her back. He's writing from a plane thousands of kilometers away: “Te estoy escribiendo desde un avión a miles de kilómetro'” [I'm writing to you from a plane thousands of kilometers away], and admits “No quiero que estés con otro que no sea yo” [I don't want you to be with anyone but me], even though he knows he gave up the right to ask that. With someone new, he can't shake the comparison: “Que eres tú la que me arropa” [that it's you who's tucking me in]. By the second half he drops the guilt and just asks her straight: “Quiero que lo hagamos en la troca otra vez” [I want us to do it in the truck again]. He still wants her, plain and simple.
