Lo Que No Sabes
Malú Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Vida mía en este frío papel
Respiran palabras que se ahogaban en mi alma
Y lo sé, hace mucho no te digo lo que siento
Que aun te miro y se detiene el tiempo
Que te quiero y que no hay nadie como tú

Vida mía llevo días pensando
Contando mi suerte infita de tenerte
Y lo sé, un amor así no vive de palabras
Porque la suerte aquí es moneda de dos caras
Hoy me siento entre la espada y la pared

Lo que no sabes
Es que hay un brillo diferente en tu mirada
Que dejas huellas de otro aroma en nuestra almohada
Cuando me dices "mi amor" como si nada

Vida mía en este frío papel
Se derraman mis palabras para siempre
Y tal vez hoy me toca ser a mí
Quién se lamenta
Fui un ausente estando aquí sin darme cuenta
Y por eso hoy te tengo que decir

Lo que no sabes
Es que hay un brillo diferente en tu mirada
Que dejas huellas de otro aroma en nuestra almohada
Cuando me dices "mi amor" como si nada

Lo que no sabes
Es que conozco la razón de tus retrasos
Es que te he visto ser feliz en otros brazos
Y es el silencio el enemigo
Que ha llenado nuestro espacio

Lo que no sabes es que estoy pensando
Tal vez callarme para siempre
Pero aun así jamás podré olvidar
Porque no sabes cuanto
Porque te quise tanto
Porque jamás podré ocultar

Lo que no sabes
Es que conozco la razón de tus retrasos
Es que te he visto ser feliz en otros brazos




Y es el silencio el enemigo
Que ha llenado nuestro espacio

Overall Meaning

The song "Lo Que No Sabes" by Malu is a powerful expression of unspoken feelings and hidden truths in a relationship. The opening lines of the song portray the emotions that have been bottled up inside and are now finding their release through words on paper. The lyrics talk about how it has been a long time since the singer has expressed their feelings to their partner, but they still feel the same way towards them. The mention of time standing still when they look at their partner shows the intensity of their emotions.


The next verse talks about how the singer has been thinking about their luck at having their partner but understands that mere words are not enough for a relationship, an acknowledgment that love needs more than just words to flourish. They feel stuck between two difficult choices, with love and fear pulling them in opposite directions. The chorus brings out the unsaid words between the couple, with the singer revealing that they can read the different glow in their partner's eyes and the scent of another person's presence in their shared space. The reference to "mi amor" being said offhandedly also shows a lack of acknowledgment for their feelings.


The final verse talks about how the singer has been aware of their partner's infidelity and their own silent suffering. They are unsure if keeping quiet and suffering in silence or speaking out loud and breaking the bond is a better option. The song ends with the singer expressing their love for their partner, which they will never be able to hide or forget, and their inability to keep the secrets any longer.
