When I found you with another, it was fatal

I can't understand love and deceit

I lost my mind but you were a volcano

I never imagined going that far

You raised your hand at me

You like to play cat and mouse

My body's bruised

You forced me, don't tell me that you didn't

How I'd love to forget you

Erase the traces of your cruelty

You raised your hand at me

It's my way of loving

How I'd love to run away from here

Anywhere, any place

To be free and live again

With no fear of anyone, ever

The first time I told myself, 'never again'

And then I grew used to it

I was so afraid and ashamed to speak

That, in the end, I ended up blaming myself

You raised your hand at me

You like to put me in this situation

You said that you had changed

You provoke me and I'm the guilty one

How I'd love to forget you

Erase the traces of your cruelty

You raised your hand at me

Don't confront me again

How I'd love to run away from here

Anywhere and start over

With the hope of loving again

With no fear of anyone, ever

How I'd love to forget you

Erase the traces of your cruelty

You raised your hand at me, again

It's my way of loving

How I'd love that it wasn't like this

But it's useless, you can't change

Look at me carefully because you, from today

You won't see me, ever

SONG MEANING

Imagine a mini-telenovela set to music: in this dramatic duet, Argentina’s legendary duo Pimpinela give voice to a couple caught in a toxic whirlwind. The woman discovers her partner’s infidelity, and the confrontation quickly erupts into violence—“me levantaste la mano” literally means “you raised your hand against me.” Each singer fires back lines in real time, creating a gripping back-and-forth where he excuses his aggression (“es mi manera de amar”) while she wrestles with fear, shame, and the longing to break free.

Under the catchy melody lies a serious message about the cycle of abuse. We hear gaslighting, blame shifting, and the heartbreaking moment when the victim begins to question her own worth. Yet the song ends with a spark of empowerment: she finally vows, “No vas a verme jamás”—you will never see me again. Pimpinela turn a painful topic into an unforgettable story that urges listeners to recognize abuse, reclaim their voice, and choose freedom.
