Equivocadamente

Alejandro Fernández's song "Equivocadamente" delves into the emotional turmoil and self-reflection that follows a deceitful relationship. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of betrayal and the subsequent realization of one's own naivety. The phrase "Equivocadamente entraste a mi vida" (Mistakenly, you entered my life) sets the tone for the song, indicating that the relationship was built on false pretenses from the very beginning. The use of the term "puerta falsa" (false door) metaphorically suggests that the entry point of this relationship was inherently flawed, leading to inevitable heartbreak.

The song continues to explore the theme of hypocrisy and deceit, as Fernández sings about receiving affection that was laced with "cruel hipocresía" (cruel hypocrisy). This betrayal is not just a personal affront but a profound emotional wound, as the singer admits to foolishly giving free rein to his joys. The realization of this mistake leads to a decisive closure, both literally and metaphorically, as he mentions closing his door and locking out the foolishness that once entered his life.

In the latter part of the song, Fernández shifts from lamenting his past to a more resolute stance. He acknowledges the cynicism and mockery he faced, which robbed him of his peace. However, this acknowledgment is also a turning point. By stating "afuera mis lamentos, afuera mis tormentos" (out with my laments, out with my torments), he signifies a conscious decision to move past the pain. The final lines, "ya no daré mi vida equivocadamente" (I will no longer give my life mistakenly), encapsulate a newfound clarity and determination to control his emotions and avoid repeating the same mistakes.
