Se Te Nota
Leo Mattioli Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Se te nota, porque estás muy agresiva,
La mirada siempre esquiva vida mía,
Se te nota.

Se te nota, porque finges al hablarme,
Y pretendes simularme, vida mía
Se te nota, se te nota.
Se te nota, porque tratas disculparte,
Y te da por enojarte, vida mía, se te nota,
Se te nota, pues te encuentro muy distante,
Se te nota vida mía que tu tienes un amante,
Se te nota.

Y mas yo conseguiré que tú vuelvas a mi,
Y yo ah de luchar, tu amor no lo perdí
Será del tiempo aquel, una nueva versión.
Y aqui a tí mi corazón amor dedicaré,
Y en trozos de papel, poesías volverán,
Las flores que te dí, de nuevo las tendrás.

Sabes, se te nota, sí
Se te nota.

Se te nota, que ya vuelves en tu paso
A refugiarte entre mis brazos como antes
Se te nota

Se te nota, que al tratar sustituirme
No pudieron destruirme vida mía,
Se te nota

Se te nota, que me sigues adorando
Y al mirarme estás pensando: es mi hombre
Y se te nota




Soy tu hombre y se te nota,
Soy tu hombre, y se te nota

Overall Meaning

The beginning verse of "Se Te Nota" by Leo Mattioli translates to "It shows, because you are very aggressive, your gaze is always evasive, my life, it shows." The song is a ballad about a relationship that has hit a rough patch, and the singer is detecting signs that suggest his partner may be cheating on him. The lyrics further stress that the partner in question is behaving in a suspicious manner and trying to emulate the singer's behavior to avoid rousing suspicion. The singer is hurt but not ready to give up on their relationship and is willing to fight for it.


The chorus of the song asserts that the cheating partner's attempts at concealment have been in vain, as their behavior has given them away. The final stanza brings a ray of hope, with the singer promising to win back their partner's love, stating that "I will get you to come back to me, and I will fight for you, I did not lose your love."


The context of Leo Mattioli's "Se Te Nota" is a familiar theme in Latin-American music, a romantic ballad about love, loss, and redemption, but it is noteworthy for the sensitivity with which the topic of infidelity is explored. Leo Mattioli's rich voice, fluid delivery, and heartfelt message give the song an enduring appeal, especially among Latinx listeners.
