Se Me Va A Quemar El Corazón Lyrics in English Mon Laferte

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Se Me Va A Quemar El Corazón by Mon Laferte from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
My heart's gonna burn
My bile's gonna burst
From the little willpower
From how weak I am to forget
That motel afternoon
My soul goes out of tune
It tightens up inside me
Kill my desire
I want from love
to unlearn
Chorus 1
Oh, my heart burns
And you know that
Oh, it burns for both of us
A little decency
Don't be getting me worked up
I need to forget you
I'd like the recipe
to stay still
I miss you more than ever
I'm not gonna lie to you
Verse 2
We already know that we hurt each other
My mouth painted with laments knows that
You were so unnecessary
You and your ordinary sex
Verse 2
Emotional butcher
Sometimes I love you, sometimes I hate you
Sometimes I wanna unblock you
I turned into a hypochondriac
Everybody says I'm skinny
Verse 2
I want to unlearn love
Chorus 2
Oh, my heart burns
And you know that
Oh, it burns for both of us
A little decency
Don't be getting me worked up
I'm not yours, I'm not your souvenir
And to heal the cracks
Here's the truth
I hate you more than ever
I say goodbye to you

SONG MEANING

Mon Laferte lights a musical match with “Se Me Va A Quemar El Corazón,” painting the raw feeling of a love that scorches more than it soothes. The lyrics follow a narrator whose heart feels ready to burst, poisoned by memories of a fleeting motel rendezvous. She grapples with the tug-of-war between desire and self-preservation, begging for a “recipe” to keep still while admitting she misses her ex “more than ever.” The repeated image of a burning heart turns into a visceral symbol for lingering passion that hurts as much as it heats.

As the song unfolds, the Chilean-Mexican singer flips between tenderness and fury, calling her former lover an “emotional butcher” and declaring, “I hate you more than ever.” This push-and-pull captures the chaos of toxic attraction: blocking and unblocking, loving and loathing, wanting to forget yet reliving every detail. By the time the final goodbye arrives, Mon Laferte’s voice delivers a cathartic release. Listeners are left with an anthem for anyone who has wrestled with a love that leaves scars, reminding us that sometimes the only cure for a burning heart is to walk away before it turns to ashes.
