Perdóname Lyrics in English Pablo Alborán , Carminho
Veneno literally translates to "poison". It's a powerful and dramatic word that immediately grabs attention.
In this song, Pablo Alborán uses it metaphorically in the line "Darte el veneno de mi boca" (To give you the poison of my mouth). It suggests that his words, his presence, or even his love, despite being alluring, ultimately bring pain or a destructive influence, making it a deeply intriguing and memorable phrase.
Perdóname plunges us into the very last moments of a relationship, when love is still warm on the lips but destiny has already packed its bags. Pablo Alborán, joined by the soulful Portuguese voice of Carminho, delivers a tender yet decisive farewell: “Ni una sola palabra más… Esto se acaba aquí.” He does not offer tidy explanations; instead, he pours out a heartfelt apology for every unrealized promise, every smile he inspired, and every trace of emotional “veneno” that lingers. The sunrise that once welcomed their kisses now becomes the silent witness to a goodbye he cannot postpone.
Wrapped in Spanish passion and a hint of Fado melancholy, the duet captures the bittersweet acceptance that sometimes love ends without a clear why. It is an anthem of self-blame and gentle release where the narrator owns his faults, begs forgiveness, and chooses to walk away so no further harm is done. The song invites listeners to feel both the sting of loss and the beauty of sincerity, reminding us that courage is sometimes measured in the ability to say “forgive me” and let go.
