December, I gave you the heart
When Christmas came you made me cry
I changed and a year later
My love is for someone good
December, I gave you the heart
When Christmas came, you made me cry
I changed and a year later
My love is for someone good
Wounded and timid
I see you from afar, you still make me cry
Tell me baby, am I as you remember?
See? It was a year ago, not a surprise
Wrapped in a gift with a note
You know I love you
Now I know how wrong I was
But if you kiss me today
I know it would fall again
December, I gave you the heart
When Christmas came you made me cry
I changed and a year later
My love is for someone good
Celebration, how many people are there
I hide from you and your coldness
To think that one day I thought I could trust you
I? I was just a shoulder to lean on
If I was that lover, fire in my heart
Just someone you used to give him pain
Now I have a new love, you can't fool me
December I gave you the heart
When Christmas came you made me cry
I changed and a year later
My love is for someone good
If I was that lover, fire in my heart
Just someone you used to give him pain
I changed and a year later
My love is for someone
My love is for someone good

SONG MEANING

Diciembre paints the bittersweet picture of a love that blossomed during the holidays but wilted before the year’s end. Paty Cantú remembers giving her heart in December, only to find herself in tears by Christmas. The twinkling lights and festive cheer become ironic backdrops for betrayal, as she realizes she was little more than “a shoulder to lean on” for someone who never truly cared. Yet the song is anything but hopeless. With candid lyrics, she revisits the pain, acknowledges how deeply it hurt, and then declares that she has changed.

One year later, our narrator stands taller and wiser, ready to love someone bueno—someone deserving. The chorus, repeated like a mantra, shifts from sorrow to empowerment; each time she sings “Diciembre, te di el corazón,” it feels less like a lament and more like closure. Cantú’s storytelling captures the seasonal sting of heartbreak while celebrating personal growth, reminding listeners that even the coldest December can lead to a warmer, more genuine love in the future.
