Una Mentira Más Lyrics in English by Yuri, Natalia Jiménez
Justificarte means "to justify you" or "to excuse you." It's a reflexive verb that highlights the internal struggle of the narrator.
In the song, the narrator's heart wants to forget a past love, but their mind begins to "justificarte" (justify you), showing the conflict between emotion and reason. This word captures the complex psychological battle of trying to move on from a toxic relationship, making it both relatable and intriguing.
Have you ever been in that frustrating place where you know you should move on from someone, but your heart just won't cooperate? That's exactly where Yuri and Natalia Jiménez are in "Una Mentira Más" [One More Lie]. The song kicks off with the singer admitting, "Ya sé que fui yo quien te pidió / Que no volviéramos a hablar / Pero te necesito" [I know it was me who asked you / Not to talk again / But I need you]. Talk about a relatable dilemma!
It's a powerful anthem for anyone who's struggled to break free from a toxic connection. The singer's mind is trying to justify staying, even though her heart wants to forget. She even asks her ex, who she calls an "experto en engañarme" [expert in deceiving me], to tell her "Una mentira perfecta / Que logre, despertarme" [A perfect lie / That manages to wake me up]. She wants a lie so terrible, so unforgivable, that it will finally give her the strength to walk away for good. It's a pretty intense plea, asking for a "mentira mortal" [mortal lie] that won't give her "oportunidad / De volverte a perdonar" [the chance / To forgive you again]. We've all been there, needing that final push to end things, even if it's a painful one.
