Esto Es Amor Lyrics in English Alkilados

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Esto Es Amor by Alkilados from Spanish to English.
Mira
Look
Las cosas que tiene la vida
The things life has
Ayer sin ti yo me moría
Yesterday without you I was dying
Y hoy soy yo quien dice adiós
And today I'm the one who says goodbye
Y hoy soy yo quien dice adiós
And today I'm the one who says goodbye
Dime
Tell me
Y tu que es lo que pretendías
And what were you trying to do?
Si vives entre fantasías
If you live among fantasies
Que sabes tu lo que es amor?
What do you know about love?
Que sabes tu lo que es amor?
What do you know about love?
El amor no siembra rencores
Love doesn't sow grudges
El amor no te hace infeliz
Love doesn't make you unhappy
El amor no mata ilusiones
Love doesn't kill illusions
Como me has matado tu a mi
As you have killed mine
Cada uno tiene razones
Everyone has reasons
Si tu quieres yo te las doy
If you want, I'll give them to you
No me des mas explicaciones
Don't give me more explanations
Esto para mi no es amor
This isn't love for me
El amor jamas te traiciona
Love never betrays you
Y tu que me quieres decir?
And what do you want to tell me?
En tu vida hay otra persona
In your life there's another person
Esto no es amor para mi
This isn't love for me
(oh no oh no esto no es amor para mi)(2)
oh no oh no this isn't love for me
El amor te habla de frente
Love speaks to you directly
El amor no engaña asi
Love doesn't deceive like that
El amor no humilla a la gente
Love doesn't humiliate people
Como me lo has hecho tu a mi
As you have done to me
Tu te desahogas conmigo
You vent with me
Y la culpa fue de los dos
And the fault was both of ours
Yo jamas te di un motivo
I never gave you a reason
Lo que yo te di fue amor
What I gave you was love
Y el amor no inventa mentiras
And love doesn't invent lies
Tu me obligaste a mentir
You forced me to lie
El amor no oculta otra vida
Love doesn't hide another life
Como la que tienes sin mi
Like the one you have without me
El amor jamas te traiciona
Love never betrays you
Puede cometer un error
It can make a mistake
En tu vida hay otra persona
In your life there's another person
Esto para mi no es amor
This isn't love for me
El amor que pido es sincero
The love I ask for is sincere
Como fue el amor que te di
As was the love I gave you
Lo que tu me das no lo quiero
What you give me, I don't want it
Esto no es amor para mi
This isn't love for me
Oh no oh no esto no es amor para mi
Oh no oh no this isn't love for me

Did you like this lyrics translation?

pretendíasyou intended / you were trying to do

Pretendías comes from the verb pretender, which means "to intend" or "to try to do something." It's a bit of a false friend for English speakers, as it doesn't mean "to pretend" in the sense of faking something.

In the song, the singer asks, "¿Y tú qué es lo que pretendías?" (And what were you trying to do?). He's questioning the other person's true intentions and motives in the relationship, highlighting a sense of betrayal and confusion.
