Las guapas Lyrics (English Translation) – Alejandro Sanz

Las guapas (English Translation) Lyrics Meaning

[Intro]
He’s admitting he’s completely obsessed with her, almost like she’s something he can’t stop craving, while she doesn’t take him nearly as seriously. He’s drawn to her even when she’s not being honest, especially the way her eyes shine when she bends the truth. Even though the people around him keep warning him that she’s not good for him, he can’t stop feeling the way he does.

[Pre-Chorus]
Everyone tells him she’s not right for him, but he doesn’t see it that way at all. He knows she lies easily, and instead of confronting it, he plays along and pretends to believe her just to keep the relationship going. He doesn’t want to be told how to handle things because he already knows it’s dangerous, like a sweet smell that hides something toxic underneath.

[Chorus]
Here, he admits she treats him badly, but the moment she kisses him, all the hurt and frustration disappear. It’s like her touch resets everything, making him forget what he should remember. He hopes she never finds out how deeply he loves her, because he knows she would use that knowledge to her advantage and feel even more in control. He keeps repeating the question about what pretty girls possess that makes people forgive them so easily. It’s as if their beauty gives them an invisible power that makes others overlook their mistakes, let things slide, and stay hooked even when they know they shouldn’t. He feels trapped between knowing she’s not good for him and being unable to resist her.

[Verse]
He wonders what it is about attractive girls that gives them so much influence. He feels they can act without much empathy, break hearts, and still walk around confidently as if nothing happened. Even when they’re clearly wrong, people still treat them as if they’re right. Their charm is so strong that forgiveness comes automatically, almost like no one can say no to them when they speak or smile.

[Pre-Chorus]
Again, people tell him she’s not the right choice, but he refuses to believe it. He understands she lies smoothly, and he willingly plays along because he doesn’t want to lose her. He doesn’t want advice because he already knows he’s letting himself fall into something that feels dangerous but irresistible, like breathing in a lovely scent that he knows is harmful.

[Chorus]
He repeats how she can be cruel or careless with his feelings, yet every time she kisses him, all of it fades away. Her affection has a way of wiping out his logic, leaving only the moment. He hides the depth of his feelings because he knows she’d let it boost her ego and maybe even take advantage of it. He circles back to the idea that pretty girls have a special pull—something that makes people forgive them instantly, stay attached, and ignore the pain. He can’t help wondering why beauty holds that kind of power and why it affects him so strongly.

[Bridge]
He goes back to questioning the strange power pretty girls seem to hold. He talks about how they can break someone’s heart and still carry themselves proudly, almost untouched by guilt or remorse. Even when they act out of line, people treat them like they’re still right. Their charm is strong enough that forgiveness becomes automatic, like no one can resist giving them another chance.

[Outro]
He keeps repeating the same thought, almost like he’s stuck on it, trying to understand it. It’s a final reminder of how deeply he’s puzzled and overwhelmed by the power that beauty seems to have over people, especially over him.
