Te juro que es verdad esta mentira
I swear this lie is the truth
Si no me crees te lo podría jurar
If you don't believe me, I could swear it
Perdóname mil veces cuando diga
Forgive me a thousand times when I say
Te juro que no volveré a jurar
I swear I won't swear again
Te juro que esta vez te soy sincero
I swear this time I'm being sincere
Te juro que te acabo de mentir
I swear I just lied to you
A veces se precisa un embustero
Sometimes a liar is needed
Que diga lo que tú quieres oír
To say what you want to hear
Te juro, te juro
I swear, I swear
Te juro por los santos sacrificios
I swear by the holy sacrifices
Que mentir será mi oficio
That lying will be my profession
Si es lo que quieres oír
If that's what you want to hear
Te juro, te juro
I swear, I swear
Te juro que te miento cuando juro
I swear that I lie when I swear
Aunque fuiste tú, lo juro
Even though it was you, I swear
La que me enseñó a mentir (hey!)
The one who taught me to lie (hey!)
Detrás de cada estafa hay un testigo
Behind every scam, there's a witness
Detrás de cada historia, una ficción
Behind every story, a fiction
Tú sabes cuando miento y de castigo
You know when I lie and as punishment
Me haces creer que tengo la razón
You make me believe that I'm right
Yo nunca te mentí para engañarte
I never lied to deceive you
Te juro que no miento por mentir
I swear I'm not lying just to lie
Te juro que te juro pa' salvarte
I swear I'm swearing to save you
De no perder el tiempo en discutir
From wasting time arguing
Te juro, te juro
I swear, I swear
Te juro por los santos sacrificios
I swear by the holy sacrifices
Que mentir será mi oficio
That lying will be my trade
Si es lo que quieres oír
If that's what you want to hear
Te juro, te juro
I swear, I swear
Te juro que te miento cuando juro
I swear I'm lying when I swear
Aunque fuiste tú, lo juro
Even though it was you, I swear
La que me enseñó a mentir
The one who taught me to lie
Jamás hay sombra sin luz
There's never a shadow without light
Todo principio un día expira
Every beginning eventually fades away
No hay esperanzas sin blues
There are no hopes without blues
Y no hay verdad sin mentira
And there's no truth without a lie
Te juro, te juro
I swear, I swear
Te juro por los santos sacrificios
I swear by the holy sacrifices
Que mentir será mi oficio
That lying will be my trade
Si es lo que quieres oír
If it's what you want to hear
Te juro, te juro
I swear, I swear
Te juro que te miento cuando juro
I swear I'm lying when I swear
Aunque fuiste tú, lo juro
Even though it was you, I swear
La que me enseñó a mentir (hey!)
The one who taught me to lie (hey!)
