Ni por aquí se me pasaba
No lo vi
Cuando lo fui notando no me la creí
Decepcionada del pasado, fracasados mil intentos
Qué feliz me hací
Ahora sé que de verdad tú me querí
Y cada día me enamoro más de ti
No lo esperaba
La neta no voy a mentir, no lo esperaba
Con tanta piedra tropecé, estaba cansada
Que me rendí, había dejado de creer
No lo esperaba
La neta no voy a mentir, no lo esperaba
¿Cómo no vi? El amor lo tenía en la cara
Ay, mi chiquito, yo de ti no lo esperaba
Qué feliz me hací
Ahora sé que de verdad tú me querí
Y cada día me enamoro más de ti
Todo esta bien con nuestro amor, con nuestro sexo
No lo esperaba
La neta no voy a mentir, no lo esperaba
Con tanta piedra tropecé, estaba cansada
Que me rendí, había dejado de creer
No lo esperaba
La neta no voy a mentir, no lo esperaba
¿Cómo no vi? El amor lo tenía en la cara
Ay, mi chiquito, yo de ti no lo esperaba
No lo esperaba
La neta no voy a mentir, no lo esperaba
Con tanta piedra tropecé, estaba cansada
Que me rendí, había dejado de creer
No lo esperaba
La neta no voy a mentir, no lo esperaba
¿Cómo no obvié? El amor lo tenía en la cara
Ay, mi chiquito, yo de ti no lo esperaba
The lyrics of Mon Laferte's song "No" reflect on a surprise discovery of love. In the beginning, the singer admits that she did not see it coming and was not even aware of it until later. She goes on to describe how she was satisfied with herself and happy with life, despite the disappointment and failed attempts at finding love in the past. But then, she realizes that the person she loves truly loves her back and makes her feel more in love each day. The chorus repeats, stating that although the singer did not expect to find love, it is fulfilling and satisfying.
The verses of the song describe how the singer had given up on finding true love. The obstacles along the way had made her tired and discouraged, leading her to stop believing it was possible. The singer then reflects on how blind she was to love's existence, despite it being right in front of her. She mentions being surprised by her lover's feelings but is grateful for how it all turned out. The chorus emphasizes the joy and completeness that their love and physical connection bring, which makes everything worth it in the end.
One interesting fact about this song is that it was performed live by Mon Laferte at the 2019 Latin Grammy Awards, where she bared her chest to reveal the phrase "En Chile torturan, violan y matan" (They torture, rape, and kill in Chile) written on her chest in protest of the human rights abuses taking place in her home country. This protest caused a stir but also brought attention to the cause.

@angelicalmonster7948
Las nuevas canciones son aun mejores que las anteriores se ven increíbles y las letras son muy arriesgadas y atrevidas ( me encantan ) y los comentarios de hate x no saben mi de lo que hablan, pero amamos tu música Mon sigue asi 💜
@lustforcats2841
me da risa que dicen que es comercial , escuchan algo tipo trap/reggaeton/urbano y ya piensan que es comercial , este álbum es el más experimental/alternativo de Mon de LEJOS , es una obra maestra, que triste que la gente no comprenda el ARTE y que prefieran escuchar lo mismo siempre
@KikeEnriquez
ME habíacostado un poco asimilar esta rola, pero al ver que Mon usó todos los ataques contra ella y los convirtio en arte con este ritmazo, no puedo dejarla de escuchar!
@alejandramontoya784
Mon, es una artista genial y fructífera, se atreve con todo y se siente bien en todo, y lo más importante que a su público le gusta y siempre esperando, con que nueva locura nos sorprenderá gratamente.❤❤❤❤❤❤
