Sigues Con Él Lyrics in English by Arcangel, Sech
Finjas comes from the verb fingir, meaning 'to pretend' or 'to fake'. It's a powerful and direct word used to challenge someone's authenticity.
In the song, the singer says, "No finjas tanto" (Don't pretend so much), directly telling the woman he knows she's faking her happiness in her current relationship. This single word encapsulates the song's central drama, urging her to be honest with herself and him.
Ever received a late-night phone call from someone complaining about their current partner? That is the exact drama Puerto Rican artist Arcángel and Panamanian star Sech unpack in "Sigues Con Él". The story kicks off after a woman gets a little tipsy and calls to spill her relationship secrets: "Primero tomaste, luego llamaste" ("First you drank, then you called"). She confesses that her boyfriend is falling short in the bedroom, which prompts the big question running through the chorus: "¿Por qué sigues con él?" ("Why are you still with him?").
Arcángel and Sech do not hold back with their sharp wordplay and cheeky metaphors. They drop clever food imagery like "Tú le calientas la comida, pero él no te sabe comer" ("You heat up his food, but he doesn't know how to eat you"), calling out how one-sided her effort is. They even throw in funny, blunt jabs at the guy's gym habits ("Tanto gym, pero él no te hace venir" ["So much gym, but he doesn't make you finish"]) and point out that she only stays out of habit or for the material things he buys. Their pitch is simple: stop faking happiness, ditch the boring routine, and run away with someone who actually treats you right.
