La Mentira Lyrics in English Dani Martin

Home / Lyrics Translation / Dani Martin / La Mentira

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song La Mentira by Dani Martin from Spanish to English.

Verse 1

With the smile that God has given me

And my way of walking

The swagger that I have adopted

To camouflage the insecurity

The insecurity

To camouflage the insecurity

The insecurity

Oh! The insecurity

Chorus 1

Look how perfect I am

I get out of bed in Dolce Gabbana

I live in an airport

I have a nice 'ferrata'

Lie

My life is a lie and I made it up

Chorus 1

Lie

I don't know Shakira or Luis Miguel

Chorus 1

Lie

My life is a lie

Chorus 1

Lie

I didn't meet Sabina at that 'after' on Pez Street

On Pez Street, at that 'after' on Pez Street

Verse 2

But let nobody find out

That here everything is a lie

That I peed in the bed until fifteen days ago

That I'm ashamed of my body

Only photos from the chest up

Hold on a sec, don't shoot me in profile

Straight on, because I don't like my nose

Erase the spot and the scar

And edit me, let's see if I look happy

Chorus 2

Lie

My life is a lie and I made it up

Chorus 2

Lie

I don't know Shakira or Luis Miguel

Chorus 2

Lie

My life is a lie

Chorus 2

Lie

I didn't meet Sabina at that 'after' on Pez Street

On Pez Street, at that 'after' on Pez Street

Chorus 2

Look how perfect I am

I get out of bed in Dolce Gabbana

I live in an airport

I have a nice 'ferrata'

Lie

My life is a lie and I made it up

Chorus 2

Lie

I don't know Shakira or Luis Miguel

Chorus 2

Lie

My life is a lie

Chorus 2

Lie

I didn't meet Sabina at that 'after' on Pez Street

On Pez Street, at that 'after' on Pez Street

Outro

But let nobody find out

SONG MEANING

Packed with cheeky humor and raw honesty, La Mentira is Dani Martín’s playful confession booth. The Spanish rocker parades around in imaginary "Dolce Gabbana," claiming he wakes up at airports and mingles with Shakira, Luis Miguel, and Sabina – only to shout Mentira! after every boast. Each exaggerated claim mocks the glossy lives we showcase online, turning the song into a catchy satire of celebrity culture and picture-perfect façades.

Beneath the jokes lies a tender truth: Dani masks deep insecurity. He admits he wet the bed until recently, hates his nose in profile, and only posts chest-up photos. By laughing at himself he shows how exhausting it is to pretend to be flawless. La Mentira invites us to dance, chuckle, and swap perfection for authenticity so our real selves can take center stage.
