El Precio de Tu Engaño

Mario Luis's song 'El Precio de Tu Engaño' is a poignant ballad that delves into the depths of unrequited love and the pain of loving someone who is in love with another. The lyrics express the narrator's desire to be the source of light and comfort for the person they love, offering a refuge from the darkness of their current heartache. The narrator is willing to show the depth of their love, which has been kept hidden within their soul, and to provide solace from the pain that the loved one carries.

However, the song also captures the agony of loving someone who is still attached to a past lover. The narrator is ready to give everything, even their life, for the person they love, but they are forced to pay the price for someone else's betrayal. The lyrics convey the frustration of being punished for another's mistakes, as the loved one is unable to move past their previous relationship and see the narrator's love. The repeated line 'Yo te necesito' (I need you) emphasizes the depth of the narrator's longing and the despair of their unmet desire for reciprocation.

The song's title, 'El Precio de Tu Engaño' (The Price of Your Deceit), suggests that the narrator is paying the emotional cost for the deceit of the loved one's past partner. Despite the loved one's suffering, the narrator remains by their side, drying their tears and hoping for a change of heart that may never come. The song is a testament to the enduring nature of love, even in the face of rejection and the pain of watching the object of one's affection grieve for someone else.
