You're driving me crazy, you're playing with my head

It begins in your eyes and ends in your mouth

And I know that there are not a few of us who fall at your feet

I am here being faithful to you and you care little

I already know your tricks

To keep me hooked'

With your confusing messages

You know this tango of cruelty was never fair

Mommy, this is not that deep

We eat each other even if we are not together

I'm honest with you, don't say that I confuse you

We can do it at your parents' house

But I don't want them to claim me later

I-I tripped over your mouth

But you are very crazy

I met her at a bowling alley in La Boca

If she's suffocating, I'll take off her clothes

mommy, you are for me

If I touch you there is a tsunami warning

I want to sink it for you like the Titanic sank

Now, daddy, you are mine

But I no longer trust any man

Who will cure this broken heart for me?

I already know your tricks

To keep me hooked'

With your confusing messages

You know this tango of cruelty was never fair

He's got me turning, turning wrong

One day wants fast the other slow

He tells me he's drowning, he wants space

In so many scenarios, I didn't find her lips

That guy knows he has me where he wants

At night it is fire, during the day it is snow

He only calls me when it suits him

He loves me sometimes, I love him always

I already know your tricks

To keep me hooked'

With your confusing messages

You know this tango of cruelty was never fair

crueldad — cruelty

Crueldad translates to "cruelty". It's a strong and evocative word that immediately sets a dramatic tone for the song.

In "Tango De Crueldad," the word is used to describe a toxic and manipulative relationship, specifically in the phrase "este tango de crueldad" (this tango of cruelty). This metaphor paints a vivid picture of a dance where one partner is intentionally inflicting pain, making it a memorable and impactful word choice.

Get ready for a dramatic dance of emotions in "Tango De Crueldad"! The title itself, which means "Tango of Cruelty," sets the stage for a story about a complicated and unfair relationship. Yami Safdie sings from the perspective of someone who is deeply in love but feels like she's being played. She sings, "He wants me sometimes, I love him always," perfectly capturing the painful imbalance. She knows his tricks and his confusing messages keep her hooked, even though it's breaking her heart.

Then, Omar Montes enters with a completely different point of view. He sees their connection as something casual and not very deep, telling her, "Baby, this isn't that deep / We get with each other even though we're not together." Their conflicting perspectives create a classic tale of mixed signals and unrequited feelings, all set to the rhythm of a passionate, yet cruel, tango.
