‘Ódiame’ by Cazzu: VIDEO, Meaning, and English Lyrics
The song is a fierce declaration that betrayal cannot destroy someone who knows their own worth
‘Ódiame’ is a powerful anthem of heartbreak, betrayal, and resilience. In the song, from the album Latinaje, Cazzu confronts the pain of being hurt by someone she once trusted and loved deeply. Following the public breakup with her ex, Christian Nodal, and his now-wife, Ángela Aguilar, many fans have speculated that this song could be directed at him.
Through raw, emotional lyrics, Cazzu reflects on how her loyalty and devotion were met with betrayal — but instead of breaking, she emerges stronger.
The chorus challenges her former lover to try to hate or forget her, knowing they won’t be able to because the mark she left is too deep.
‘Ódiame’ (Hate Me) isn’t just about sorrow; it’s about reclaiming strength after heartbreak, showing that even in pain, there is pride, defiance, and survival.
‘Ódiame’ English Lyrics
[Verse 1]
All that’s left of us are ashes
You burned my heart
You darkened every hope
I was begging for a little bit of love
And now, who’s really lost more?
I see you crying in loneliness
Begging for a little of my mercy
The mercy you never showed me
[Chorus]
Hate me if you can — you can’t, you can’t anymore
Forget me if you can — you can’t
Hate me if you can — you can’t, you can’t anymore
Forget me if you can — you can’t
[Verse 2]
Your love was a bitter disappointment
Poison at the tip of your dagger
It hurts to think that one day
I swore to you loyalty and respect
But in return, you paid me back with resentment, for no reason
You shot me from behind, without honor
But it’s no different from all the other times
They tried — I’m hard to kill
[Chorus]
Hate me if you can — you can’t, you can’t anymore
Forget me if you can — you can’t
Hate me if you can — you can’t, you can’t anymore
Forget me if you can — you can’t
[Outro]
Hate me
Forget me
Hate me
Forget me if you can — you can’t.
