Fingías Lyrics in English by Paloma Mami

Fingías comes from the verb fingir, meaning "to pretend" or "to feign". It's in the imperfect tense, indicating an ongoing or habitual action in the past: "you were pretending."

In Paloma Mami's song "Fingías," the word is central to the theme of betrayal and deceit. The singer confronts a past lover, stating, "Te felicito por lo bien que tú fingías" (I congratulate you on how well you pretended). This word perfectly encapsulates the core message of the song: the pain of realizing that a loved one's affections were never genuine.

Have you ever realized someone wasn't being honest about their feelings? In "Fingías," which means "You Were Faking It," Paloma Mami sings about exactly that. She confronts a past lover, telling them she always knew their sweet words were lies. While they thought she was theirs, they didn't realize they were losing her all along. She even sarcastically congratulates them on how well they pretended to care: "Te felicito por lo bien que tú fingías" ("I congratulate you on how well you faked it").

This song is an anthem for anyone who has moved on from a bad relationship. Paloma Mami makes it clear she's over it, declaring, "Que quede claro que ya te olvidé" ("Let it be clear that I've already forgotten you"). She's erased the kisses and killed the feelings. Now, she wants him to get lost and not be jealous when he sees her with someone new. It's a powerful message about recognizing your worth after being let down and leaving the past behind.
