Estoy acariciando ese placer
Estoy aprendiendo a vivir sin ti, pues ya no me queda la fuerza de amar
Pues ya no me queda la fuerza de amarte a ti
Estoy desengañao' de tus caricias
Estoy tan agobiao' con tu querer
Estoy aprendiendo a vivir sin ti, pues ya no me queda la fuerza de amar
Cobarde
El mundo es cobarde
Él pasa y me mira
Se asoma a mi vida y me vuelve a olvidar
Cobarde
El mundo es cobarde
Él pasa y me mira
Se asoma a mi vida y me vuelve a olvidar
Estoy desengañao' de tus caricias
Estoy tan agobiao' con tu querer
Estoy aprendiendo a vivir sin ti, pues ya no me queda la fuerza de amar
Pues ya no me queda la fuerza de amarte a ti
Cobarde
El mundo es cobarde
Él pasa y me mira
Se asoma a mi vida y me vuelve a olvidar
Cobarde
El mundo es cobarde
Él pasa y me mira
Se asoma a mi vida y me vuelve a olvidar
Él pasa, me mira y vuelve a olvidarme (el mundo es cobarde)
El mundo se llevó mi fe y hoy no tengo 'e dónde agarrarme (el mundo es cobarde)
Pero sobreviviré y e' lo que voy a enseñarle (el mundo es cobarde)
Vive y aprende antes de que se haga tarde (el mundo es cobarde)

The lyrics of "Cobarde" by Rubén Blades Roberto Delgado & Orquesta depict a person who is going through the most beautiful phase of life but is finding it difficult to enjoy it fully because of the absence of the person they used to love. They acknowledge that they are learning to live without their former lover because they no longer have the strength to love or be with them. The song expresses the singer's disillusionment with the empty promises and lack of genuine affection from their partner. They feel overwhelmed and burdened by the love they received, and now they are determined to move on without them.
The recurring theme in the song is the cowardice of the world. The singer believes that the world, represented by others' passing glances and lack of true connection, is indifferent and forgetful. The world constantly observes their life but quickly forgets about them, leaving them feeling abandoned and disregarded. Despite this, the singer declares their resilience and determination to survive and teach the world a lesson. They emphasize the importance of living and learning before it's too late.
Overall, "Cobarde" portrays a person who is trying to come to terms with the end of a relationship, learning to live without love, and facing a world that they perceive as heartless and forgetful.
