With how little you manage
To give so much to my life
When you see me smile like that
You make my days happy
I don't know what you think today
That you know my past
I'm a failure in love
And you have never loved
That's why I have to leave here
Because something is happening to me today
I don't know if it's something lovely that I see in you
Or if I'm falling in love today
This way of feeling has made me a coward
Because it always leads me to suffer
I'd like to hug you and I can't
Because if I did I'd stay today
To make this forbidden dream come true
How to understand my irony
There isn't a place in my chest without a scar
And in the end I've made nobody happy
That's why I have to leave here
Because something is happening to me today
I don't know if it's something lovely that I see in you
Or if I'm falling in love today
This way of feeling has made me a coward
Because it always leads me to suffer
I'd like to hug you and I can't
Because if I did I'd stay today
To make this forbidden dream come true
How to understand my irony, oh
There isn't a place in my chest without a scar
And in the end I've made nobody happy

SONG MEANING

“Mi Ironía” is a heartfelt confession packed with conflicting emotions. The singer is a man whose past is covered in cicatrices—emotional scars—and who believes he has never made anyone truly happy. Yet a single smile from the person he is addressing suddenly lights up his days. This tender moment sparks both hope and fear: hope that love might bloom again, fear that it will end the way it always has for him. He calls this inner tug-of-war his “irony,” because the very feeling that could heal him is also what drives him to run away.

The lyrics walk us through his dilemma in vivid detail. He longs to embrace her, to turn their “prohibited dream” into reality, but every past failure whispers don’t risk it. Instead of surrendering to love, he decides to leave before he can get hurt—an act of self-protection that only deepens the irony. “Mi Ironía” captures the bittersweet cycle many of us know: when a new love looks like sunshine after rain, yet the clouds of yesterday refuse to let us bask in it.
