Desconocido
Chambao Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
son almas que ya no están
el tiempo que "ya´s" "vivio"
no lo vas a recuperar
más sabe el viejo por viejo
que "pa" sabio Salomón
más sabe el que lo siente
"Desconodio", io, io, io
"Desconocio" io, io, io
El amor no tiene nombre
ni tiempo ni cantidad
el amor es un aroma
que tienes que respirar
No tiene estación del año
ni fecha en el calendario
se mueve entre la gente
¿alguien sabe donde irá?
"Desconocio" io, io, io
"Desconocio" io, io, io
In Chambao's song Desconocido, the lyrics talk about lost hearts or souls that cannot be recovered. The time that has been lived cannot be regained. The song talks about how wise people can gain knowledge from their experiences and emotions. The chorus repeats the word "Desconocido," which translates to "unknown" in English.
The lyrics further talk about how love has no name or specific time or amount. Love is compared to an aroma that needs to be felt and experienced. It is not restricted to a specific season or date. Love is also not limited to a specific place or person. It can move between people without anyone knowing where it will go.
Overall, the song talks about the unknown, whether it is lost souls or the unpredictable nature of love. It conveys a sense of universalism, whereby everyone can relate to these themes, regardless of cultural background, age, or gender.

Lost hearts
Are souls that aren't there anymore
The time that you have already lived
You won't be able to get back
An old man knows more because of his age
Than Solomon from being wise
The one who feels, knows more
when we're talking about love
Unknown, own, own, own
Unknown, own, own, own
Love doesn't have a name
Nor time nor quantity
Love is a scent
That you have to breathe
It doesn't have a season of the year
Nor a date on the calender
It moves through people
Does anyone know where it's going?
Unknown, own, own, own
Unknown, own, own, own
