Por Nuestra Cobardia

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Nos hemos separado, después que aquel error
Al pasado volcamos
Esperando por ti, y quizás tú por mí, se ha congelado
Ese sublime amor, que la verdad fraguó, y que los dos forjamos
Nos hemos separado, pero ayer comprendí
Que hoy más cerca estamos
Fue mutua la impresión la misma indecisión
Yo te quise estrechar con ilusión besar, mas no podía
Te fue imposible hablar, y todo quedo igual, por nuestra cobardía
Esperando por ti, y quizás tú por mí, se ha congelado
Ese sublime amor, que la verdad fraguó, y que los dos forjamos
Nos hemos separado, pero ayer comprendí
Que hoy mas cerca estamos
Fue mutua la impresión, la misma indecisión
Después que nos miramos
Yo te quise estrechar, con ilusión besar, mas no podía
Te fue imposible hablar, y todo quedo igual, por nuestra cobardía
The lyrics of Carlos Cuevas's song "Por Nuestra Cobardia" depict a couple who have separated due to a false and unknown reason. They acknowledge that their separation occurred after a mistake from the past was brought up again. Despite their separation, there is still a lingering hope and longing for each other. The love they once shared, a love that was built on truth, has now frozen and become stagnant due to their fear and hesitation.
The singer reflects on their past and realizes that their separation has actually brought them closer together in some way. There was a mutual impression and indecision that occurred when they saw each other again. The singer wanted to embrace and kiss their partner with anticipation, but they were unable to do so. Their partner also found it impossible to speak, and as a result, everything remained the same because of their shared cowardice.
The repeated phrase "Esperando por ti, y quizás tú por mí, se ha congelado" emphasizes the frozen state of their love, suggesting that they have been waiting for each other but have been paralyzed by their fear. The love they once had, a love built on truth, has been stalled by their own lack of courage.
Despite the separation, the singer finally understands that they are actually closer than ever before. The shared moment of indecision and mutual longing for each other upon seeing each other again acts as a catalyst for this realization. They both had the desire to reconnect, but their fear prevented them from acting on it. Ultimately, their cowardice has kept their relationship stagnant and unchanged.
