TE LO MERECES (Part. Master Chris) Lyrics (English Translation) – Dayanara

If one day you said that I was bad in the relationship
Today I must confess that you were right
I was the bad one for putting up with too much
Next to someone who life screwed me

If I were you, I’m sure you would never leave me
But you in my role I know that you wouldn’t last
The things you have done to me and continue to do to me
I’m calm at home and you’re out there fu*king

You deserve it
Because I gave too much
A good love does not appear twice
You didn’t take care of me by having me by your side
at your side

You deserve it
You stayed in the past
Without you my present is better lived
I already have another one who gives too much
You have what you deserve

Chronicle of death already announced
They warned me, but I didn’t do anything.
Love dried me up and I didn’t even notice
There were a thousand signs, they passed me in front
And I ignored them

If I were you, I’m sure you would never leave me
But you in my role I know that you wouldn’t last
The things you have done to me and continue to do to me
I’m calm at home and you’re out there fu*king

You deserve it
Because I gave too much
A good love does not appear twice
You didn’t take care of me by having me by your side
at your side
You deserve it
You stayed in the past
Without you my present is better lived
I already have another one who gives too much
You have what you deserve

“TE LO MERECES (Part. Master Chris)” by Dayanara is a reflection on a past relationship marked by mistreatment and neglect. The lyrics acknowledge the speaker’s culpability in enduring such treatment and failing to recognize warning signs. The song confronts the ex-partner, suggesting they wouldn’t endure similar treatment if roles were reversed. It highlights the speaker’s newfound liberation and empowerment, asserting that the ex “deserves” their current situation due to their past actions. The song’s assertive tone underscores themes of self-worth and moving forward from toxic relationships.

The first paragraph delves into the acknowledgment of fault within the speaker’s past relationship. They admit that if their partner ever accused them of being problematic in the relationship, they were correct. The speaker recognizes their own shortcomings in tolerating mistreatment from someone who has brought negativity into their life.

Moving on to the second paragraph, the speaker imagines switching roles with their former partner. They assert that if the situation were reversed, their partner wouldn’t be able to handle the mistreatment they endured. The contrast between the speaker’s calmness at home and the partner’s infidelity emphasizes the disparity in their experiences and emotional states.

The third paragraph emphasizes the idea of deserving one’s current circumstances. The speaker suggests that their partner deserves the consequences because the speaker gave too much in the relationship, yet received inadequate care and consideration in return. It reflects a realization of self-worth and the refusal to settle for less than deserved in love.

Continuing, the fourth paragraph reiterates the idea of deserving one’s current situation. The speaker asserts that without their former partner, their present life is better lived. They have found someone new who values them appropriately, contrasting with the neglect they experienced before.

The final paragraph reflects on missed warnings and signs in the past relationship. Despite being warned about the negative aspects of the relationship, the speaker ignored them, leading to a detrimental outcome. This serves as a cautionary tale about the importance of recognizing warning signs and taking action to avoid further harm.
