Fake News Lyrics in English León Larregui
Hiel literally translates to "gall," which refers to a bitter fluid, but it's more commonly used metaphorically to mean "bitterness" or "rancor."
In the song, the lyric "Otoño en la ventana sabe a hiel" (Autumn in the window tastes like gall/bitterness) uses this word to evoke a strong sense of melancholy and disappointment. It's a less common, more poetic word than simply saying "amargo" (bitter), making it particularly evocative and memorable.
"Fake News" is about the slow work of letting go of someone who kept lying to you. The narrator spends whole nights waiting by the phone, replaying old memories, and admits the answer was in front of them the whole time, they just didn't want to see it.
The title becomes a metaphor: every promise from this person turned out to be false, like a broken record scratching the same lie over and over. So the song turns into a demand to be let go, and a question the narrator keeps asking: what do you actually want from me?
By the end, the song circles through everything that was felt: believing, adoring, crying, lying, and finally forgiving. It's less a clean breakup and more an honest account of how many times someone can go through that cycle before saying goodbye for good.
