Si Lo Ven Lyrics in English by KAROL G
Fingiendo means "pretending" or "faking." It's a relatable word that captures a common human experience of putting on a brave face.
In the song, KAROL G repeatedly uses this word to describe how she's pretending to be happy and over her ex, even though she's still hurting deeply. She sings, "Pero to' el que me conoce bien sabe que estoy fingiendo" (But everyone who knows me well knows that I'm pretending), highlighting the emotional struggle behind her outward appearance.
We have all put on a brave face on social media after a breakup, and Colombian superstar KAROL G calls herself out for it in "Si Lo Ven". She goes out more often, posts online looking happy, but instantly admits: "Por fuera sonriendo, por dentro muriendo" (Smiling on the outside, dying on the inside). Even though she knows she is not fooling anyone close to her, she begs mutual friends to lie to her ex if they run into him: "Si lo ven, díganle que estoy bien" (If you see him, tell him I'm fine).
What makes this reggaeton track hit hard is her blunt honesty about being stuck while he moves on. She uses a great Colombian expression when she says "Me dejó vuelta nada" (He left me wrecked / turned into nothing). She confesses to nursing an abandonment wound, struggling to trust anyone new, and battling real emotional dependency ("dependencia"). She knows she has to let go, but until she does, she just wants her friends to protect her pride and keep her secret.
