Smitten Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

¿Sabes? No quise lastimarte esta vez
No sabía que las chicas se enamoran
Creía que era cosa de los dos
¿Sabes? Hoy pude despertar de sueños
Que algún día traté de olvidar

Y cuando nuestro sol
Amor, deje de brillar

Será por los dos

Guardo adentro la melancolía
Y el dolor, y el dolor
A nadie importa lo que diga mi canción
Ya que pude despertar igual

Y cuando nuestro sol
Amor, deje de brillar
Y hoy necesito de tu amor para vivir

Sé que a tu lado estoy mejor
¿Por qué nada nos hace sonreír?

Overall Meaning

The song Sabes by Smitten is a reflection on a failed relationship. The opening lines reveal that the singer had not intended to hurt their partner, which suggests the ending of the relationship was not amicable. The following lines emphasize the singer's naivety to the situation, as they did not realize that the partner was in love with them too. The lines "CreÃa que era cosa de los dos" (I believed it was a thing between the two of us) implies that the singer was not aware of the partner's feelings, leading to the breakdown of the relationship.

As the song progresses, the singer recounts how they have woken up from dreams they once tried to forget. This could suggest that the singer is attempting to move on from the relationship, but they are still tormented by the memories, which is demonstrated in the line, "Guardo, adentro la melancolÃa y el dolor" (I keep the melancholy and pain inside). The chorus "Y cuando nuestro sol amor deje de brillar/ SerÃ¡ por los dos" (And when our sun of love stops shining/ It will be because of both of us) reflects the acceptance that the end of the relationship was not solely caused by one party.

The song as a whole carries a sense of introspection, regret, and longing. The lyrics are relatable to anyone who has experienced heartbreak and the struggle to move on.
