Por Qué Me Fui A Enamorar De Ti Lyrics in English Mon Laferte

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Por Qué Me Fui A Enamorar De Ti by Mon Laferte from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
Five minutes, stay only five more
Don't you see that it seems
Because of you I've got a sickness
I'm crying for you
Don't leave me so soon
I want to eat your heart
My arms scream to you, I need your love
Chorus 1
Why did I go and fall in love with you?
If I knew that it was forbidden
I never meant to hurt
I wish I didn't know how to love
Why did I go and fall in love with you?
From this clandestine love
Maybe it's the charm of knowing
that our love isn't allowed
Verse 2
I've already lost my conscience
And I've become a shadow of myself
Maybe it'd be better
that our love ends
I need to stop suffering
I want that we're okay
I know that you've also had a hard time
I'm so confused
But I'm not sorry
If I could I'd love you again
Chorus 2
Why did I go and fall in love with you?
If I knew that it was forbidden
I never meant to hurt
I wish I didn't know how to love
Why did I go and fall in love with you?
From this clandestine love
Maybe it's the charm of knowing
that our love isn't allowed
Bridge
Why did I go and fall in love?
If everything was wrong
Why did I go and fall in love?
If I knew that it was forbidden
Why did I go and fall in love?
If everything was wrong
You know it well
And you also let yourself be loved
Why did I go and fall in love?
If everything was wrong
When life gives you flavor
It's hard to refuse love
Why did I go and fall in love?
If everything was wrong
Clandestine, illegal
In the end our love is real

SONG MEANING

Por Qué Me Fui A Enamorar De Ti wraps Mon Laferte’s unmistakable drama and Latin flair into a tale of love that was doomed from the start. In just a handful of verses she pleads for five more minutes, confesses her “enfermedad” of longing, and tries to devour her lover’s heart before they slip away. The Chilean-Mexican artist paints forbidden romance like an addictive flavor you know is bad for you but still crave, mixing raw vocals with lyrics that bounce between desire and despair.

The song’s core question – Why did I fall in love if I knew it was forbidden? – echoes throughout. Mon weighs the thrill of secrecy against the pain it causes, admitting both lovers are guilty of giving in. She feels herself turning into a shadow, yet the allure of the clandestine keeps pulling her back. In the end she recognizes that, rules aside, their connection is undeniably real. It is a bittersweet anthem for anyone who has ever tasted off-limits passion and discovered that breaking the rules can hurt just as intensely as it excites.
