Verse 1
You think that I don't realize
When I look at her and I look at you
From the shine of your gaze
When she speaks to your ear
How you've had the courage
Look what you've achieved
For a friend to betray me
And to betray your friend
How can I explain to you
What has happened to me
That I'm feeling for someone
What I've never felt
This isn't anybody's fault
Life has surprised me
And today someone knew how to listen to me
Like you never could
Chorus 1
She's playing with you and me
I want to explain what has happened to me
I don't want your explanation
What she has done to me has no forgiveness
Or: What she did to me is unforgivable
She's going to cheat on you like she cheated on your friend
Between them, everything was already lost
What she has done is called betrayal
Verse 2
This wouldn't have happened
If I had known
I wanted to tell you a thousand times
But you've never heard me
How could I imagine
She was my friend and your friend
If you haven't seen it before
It's because you didn't want it
Chorus 2
She's playing with you and me
I feel free like I've never been
I don't want your explanation
What she has done to me has no forgiveness
She's going to cheat on you like she cheated on your friend
It's not what you think, you haven't understood me
What she has done is called betrayal
Outro
For once in life
Listen to what I tell you
It's not her whom I love
That person is my friend

SONG MEANING

Drama, suspense and a jaw-dropping twist—that is the signature recipe Pimpinela serves in “Traición.” The song unfolds like a mini-telenovela, with two voices volleying accusations across a backdrop of catchy pop melodies. One partner spots sparks flying between the other and a supposed best friend, and fury erupts at the double betrayal: “She’s tricked us both!” But just when you think you’ve settled into a classic love-triangle plot, the story swerves.

In the second act the accused lover admits feeling something “never felt before,” yet it is not for the woman everyone suspects. The shocking confession—“No es a ella a quien amo… esa persona es mi amigo”—reveals that the real romance is with his friend, not hers. Suddenly, the song isn’t just about cheating; it’s about hidden identity, unspoken desires and the fallout when secrets meet assumptions. “Traición” turns a simple accusation into a whirlwind of misunderstandings that leaves listeners questioning who truly betrayed whom—making it irresistible for both drama lovers and Spanish-language learners looking for a lyrical plot twist.
