Silvana Estrada is a gifted Mexican musician and songwriter born in Coatepec, Veracruz in 1997. Raised by luthier parents, she grew up surrounded by music and discovered her passion early, embracing the Venezuelan cuatro as her signature instrument. Her soulful voice and heartfelt compositions blend jazz influences with Latin American folk traditions, inspired by legends like Billie Holiday and Chavela Vargas.
Since 2017, Silvana has captivated audiences with her enchanting albums, including Marchita (2022), her acclaimed solo debut. She has collaborated with acclaimed artists such as Charlie Hunter, Natalia Lafourcade, and Mon Laferte, earning recognition like the Latin Grammy Award for Best New Artist in 2022. Silvana Estrada’s music is a beautiful journey through vulnerability and strength, connecting deeply with listeners around the world.
Mexican singer Silvana Estrada writes songs that feel like quiet confessions, and "Te Guardo" is pure romantic patience. Right from the start, she strips away all pretenses: "Tengo tres caras posibles, tú me las quitas todas" ("I have three possible faces, you take them all away"). She is completely open with someone who cannot quite figure out what they want. She notices their eyes shine just like hers, yet she admits, "no logro entender de que van" ("I can't figure out what they are about"). Instead of forcing the issue or growing bitter, she leaves the door unlocked.
The real beauty of the song sits in the chorus promise: "Te guardo un poquito de fe" ("I save a little bit of faith for you"). In Spanish, guardar means to keep, store, or save something precious for later. She hoards her morning light, her kisses, and her pillow ("mi luz de mañana, mis ojos, mi amor y mi almohada") just in case this person changes their mind. Even with an empty space where an embrace should be ("el espacio carente que ocuparía tu abrazo"), she stays tender. It is a song about saving your best parts for someone, without minding how impossible having them might seem.
This song is a powerful anthem for anyone who has ever had to teach themselves how to move on. Silvana Estrada isn't just sad about a breakup; she's making a firm decision. The title itself, "Sabré Olvidar" (I will know how to forget), is repeated like a promise she's making to herself. She admits the pain is real, saying she carries misfortune between her teeth ("cargo la desgracia entre mis dientes"), but she has a plan: smiling, which she calls a remedy for the brave ("un remedio de valientes").
Her main tool for healing is her own voice. She believes the act of singing will make the pain vanish in her throat ("se ha de esfumar en mi garganta"). She also lays out a clear strategy: she will be quiet for a few days, abandon her weapons ("abandonar mi artillería"), and embrace the horizon. The song ends with a complex wish for her ex, hoping someone steals their heart without warning ("que te robe el corazón sin avisar") so that they can finally understand the intensity of what she felt.
Silvana Estrada’s "Ser De Ti" is a heartfelt confession of total surrender. Through images of crashing seas, lost battles, and even gifting the moon, the Mexican singer-songwriter paints love as something both fragile and immense. She pleads, “Así que vuelve” – So come back – because without her partner, there is only empty noise or paralyzing silence.
The lyrics reveal a narrator who knows she is complicated yet insists that every part of her identity belongs to the person she loves. In just a few verses Estrada moves from vulnerability ("sin tus manos, este cuerpo está de más") to fierce devotion ("te doy la luna"). The result is an intimate ballad that celebrates how love can be daunting, consuming, and beautifully worth fighting for.
Dans "Te Guardo", l'artiste mexicaine Silvana Estrada nous parle d'un amour plein d'espoir, mais qui n'est pas encore tout à fait là. Elle décrit une connexion si forte avec quelqu'un que toutes ses défenses tombent : « Tengo tres caras posibles / Tú me las quitas todas » (J'ai trois visages possibles / Tu me les enlèves tous). Près de cette personne, sa joie est libre, comme un « risa con alas » (un rire avec des ailes).
Cependant, tout n'est pas simple. Il y a une incertitude, un sentiment d'attente. La chanteuse garde espoir que cette personne changera d'avis et reviendra. C'est le cœur de la chanson, répété dans le refrain : « Pero si un día tú me encuentras / Y ahora piensas diferente / Te guardo un poquito de fe » (Mais si un jour tu me trouves / Et que maintenant tu penses différemment / Je te garde un peu de foi). Elle lui réserve tout : sa lumière, son amour, et même son oreiller. C'est une déclaration d'amour patiente, qui reconnaît l'impossibilité de la situation mais choisit d'attendre quand même.
Have you ever felt like you're carrying the weight of the past? In her beautiful and poetic song "Río," Mexican artist Silvana Estrada explores this very feeling. She uses powerful images from nature to describe a deep, personal experience. The song speaks of a missing river and dying flowers, suggesting a sense of loss and longing. It also paints a picture of the wind and the sea in a constant, passionate clash, a metaphor for a turbulent relationship or an internal struggle that repeats una y otra vez (again and again).
This isn't just about one person's feelings. Silvana sings about carrying "los mil caminos de siglos de sed" (the thousand paths of centuries of thirst) in her skin. It's a profound connection to her ancestors and their history of unfulfilled desires and "amores sin fe" (faithless loves). The song is a haunting reflection on how the past lives within us, and how its old conflicts continue to echo in our lives.
Silvana Estrada opens by describing what she has done to her own house: "Me quité luces y espejos para evitar tu mirada" ("I took down lights and mirrors to avoid your gaze"). She has cleared out anything reflective so she will stop meeting him in it, and it has not worked. His face keeps surfacing in her own expressions, and the candle she lit the night before to try to forget him did not help either. What she will admit is the hour: "Cómo me cuestan ahora las madrugadas" ("How hard the early mornings are for me now"). That is a very exact way to name when a breakup is worst.
The title is the whole argument. She is not asking him back, and says so plainly: "Yo no te pido que vuelvas, yo sé que estamos mejor así" ("I don't ask you to come back, I know we are better off this way"). What she wants is a tregua, a truce, a pause in the separation long enough to go looking for him and go back to how things were. Then she narrows it further: "Pido un alivio discreto para respirar" ("I ask for a subtle relief so I can breathe"). Not reconciliation. Just enough air to get through the week. Asking for so little is the most honest thing in the song.
In "Te Guardo" singt die mexikanische Künstlerin Silvana Estrada von einer Liebe, die im Moment unmöglich scheint, für die sie aber trotzdem einen Platz freihält. Sie beschreibt sehr direkt, wie verletzlich sie dieser Mensch macht: "Tengo tres caras posibles / Tú me las quitas todas" (Ich habe drei mögliche Gesichter / Du nimmst sie mir alle). Bei dieser Person fallen alle Masken weg, und ihr Lachen bekommt Flügel, sobald die beiden allein sind ("Tengo una risa con alas / Que vuela si estamos a solas"). Gleichzeitig bleibt das Gegenüber ein Rätsel. Die Augen funkeln zwar vertraut, doch sie versteht nicht, was darin vorgeht, und zwischen beiden klafft für jede alte Wunde ein Abgrund aus Glas ("un abismo de cristal por cada herida").
Anstatt aufzugeben, macht sie ein zärtliches, fast trotziges Versprechen: Falls sich die andere Person eines Tages umentscheidet ("Y ahora piensas diferente"), hält sie alles bereit. Im Refrain zählt sie auf, was sie für diesen Moment aufhebt: ein bisschen Vertrauen ("un poquito de fe"), ihr Morgenlicht, ihre Küsse, ihre Augen und sogar ihr Kopfkissen ("mi almohada"). Es geht um die leere Lücke, die nur eine ganz bestimmte Umarmung füllen könnte ("Tengo el espacio carente / Que ocuparía tu abrazo"), während man einfach geduldig abwartet.
Silvana Estrada’s “Marchita” is the sound of a flower losing its color under the weight of unreturned love. With her warm yet fragile voice, the Mexican singer-songwriter looks back on a relationship that felt intense in the moment but was ultimately one-sided. She pictures her heart as a blossom that has wilted after “so many times” of losing this person, and every note is a sigh remembering the texture of their summer kisses, the sweetness of their hands, and the painful realization that for the other person it was all just a game.
Instead of anger, the song glows with quiet regret: If only I had known… runs through the lyrics like a soft refrain. Estrada admits she would have guarded her heart more carefully, saved herself the tears that “forgot how to pray,” and perhaps never penned this very song. “Marchita” becomes a bittersweet lesson in self-worth and vulnerability, reminding listeners that even the most delicate souls can find strength in acknowledging their own wilted petals and choosing to heal.
The whole song hangs on one plain demand, repeated like knocking on a door: Devuélvanme a mis amigos (give me back my friends). Around it, Silvana Estrada lists the things that used to help and no longer do. A shaft of light walks into a room with nobody in it: Un rayo de luz (a ray of light), Entrando a un cuarto vacío (entering an empty room). The sun still shines and it stops reaching her, Ya no me arranca del frío (it no longer tears me out of the cold). Night comes down and blurs sleeping into forgetting.
Underneath the list sits a question she circles back to three times and never answers: ¿Cómo será de hermosa la muerte (just how beautiful must death be), Que nadie ha vuelto de allá? (that nobody has ever come back from there?). By the last verse the bargaining has run out and what is left is Que sólo nos queda llorar (that all that's left for us is to cry). It was recorded for A COLORS SHOW with almost nothing behind her, her voice and the Venezuelan cuatro, and it ends on a long wordless refrain that runs on after the words have stopped being any use.
Silvana Estrada teams up with jazz guitarist Charlie Hunter to weave a gentle sonic cocoon in Porque Existo. Wrapped in velvety vocals and warm guitar chords, the song feels like an intimate whisper shared at dusk. Estrada sings of keeping a love "between her lips" like a cherished secret, of laughter that turns into fluttering butterflies, and of the quiet joy she finds simply because she exists in someone else’s world. The overall mood is tender, almost lullaby-like, inviting listeners to pause and breathe in the small wonders that make affection come alive.
At its heart, the track is a meditation on connection and consolation. Estrada recognizes the mysterious veil that surrounds the person she loves, yet she waits patiently for even the slightest sign that her presence brings them comfort. Each repetition of Y todo marcha bien (“And everything goes well”) reassures both singer and listener that, despite uncertainties, love’s soft glow is enough to keep hope glowing. The song reminds us that sometimes the simple fact of being there for someone — of existing — can be the most profound gift of all.
I Te Guardo bjuder mexikanska Silvana Estrada på en hoppfull och ömsint poplåt om obesvarad eller svårnådd kärlek. Hon sjunger direkt till någon som hon inte riktigt kan tyda: Tus ojos... brillan igual que los míos / Pero no logro entender de que van (Dina ögon... skiner precis som mina / Men jag lyckas inte förstå vad de vill). Trots att hon erkänner det omöjliga i situationen finns det en enorm värme i hur hon väntar. Hon har till och med sparat plats: Tengo dos besos pendientes / Uno por cada mejilla (Jag har två kyssar som väntar / En för varje kind) och ett tomt utrymme som bara väntar på en kram långt borta från andra människor.
Refrängen är själva kärnan i låten och bygger på det fina spanska verbet guardar, som betyder att spara, förvara eller hålla av till någon. Om personen en dag ändrar sig lovar hon: Te guardo mi luz de mañana / Mis ojos, mi amor y mi almohada (Jag sparar mitt morgonljus åt dig / Mina ögon, min kärlek och min kudde). Det är rakt, personligt och fullt av tålamod, kryddat med en gnutta tro (un poquito de fe) på att de en dag möts igen.
Silvana Estrada turns sadness into a character we can almost see. In Tristeza she talks directly to her own melancholy, asking it how long it plans to stick around and bargaining for small comforts: a sigh to soothe the verb amar and a careful kiss to ease the weight of missing someone who is gone. By personifying her sorrow, she turns an abstract feeling into a dialogue full of poetic imagery, letting us feel the push-and-pull between memories of lost love and the stubborn presence of pain that refuses to leave.
At its heart, the song is a gentle plea for emotional freedom. Estrada admits she once believed love would save her, yet now she begs sadness not to rewrite that truth. Each repeated line “Tristeza, déjame en paz” (Sadness, leave me in peace) is both a lament and a mantra, revealing resilience beneath the grief. The track becomes a tender lesson in self-compassion: acknowledge the hurt, speak to it, then kindly ask it to step aside so life, music, and dancing wind can flow again.
V tejto piesni mexická speváčka Silvana Estrada spieva o čakaní na niekoho, kto možno nikdy nepríde, a o nádeji, ktorú si pre neho odkladá. Opisuje, ako sa v prítomnosti tejto osoby cíti sama sebou, bez pretvárky: „Tengo tres caras posibles / Tú me las quitas todas“ (Mám tri možné tváre / Ty mi ich všetky berieš). Jej radosť je s ním oslobodená a chce, aby ju tento človek spoznal do hĺbky.
Refrén je prísľubom. Aj keď si nie je istá jeho citmi, odkladá si pre neho vieru a intímne časti svojho života. Spieva: „Te guardo mi luz de mañana / Mis ojos, mi amor y mi almohada“ (Nechávam si pre teba moje ranné svetlo / Moje oči, moju lásku a môj vankúš). Je to pieseň o zraniteľnosti, túžbe a tichej sile nádeje, ktorá pretrváva napriek neistote.
I denne sangen fra den meksikanske artisten Silvana Estrada, hører vi om en kjærlighet som er full av håp, men også usikkerhet. Fortelleren føler seg helt seg selv rundt denne personen: «Tengo tres caras posibles / Tú me las quitas todas» (Jeg har tre mulige ansikter / Du tar dem alle fra meg). Hun har en spesiell latter som bare kommer frem når de er alene, «una risa con alas / Que vuela si estamos a solas» (en latter med vinger / som flyr når vi er alene).
Hun lengter etter en dypere forbindelse, men det er noe som ikke stemmer. Hun ser en gnist i øynene hans som speiler hennes egen, men klarer ikke å tyde hva han egentlig tenker. Likevel gir hun ikke opp. Refrenget er et løfte: «Pero si un día tú me encuentras / Y ahora piensas diferente / Te guardo un poquito de fe» (Men om du en dag finner meg / og nå tenker annerledes / sparer jeg litt tro for deg). Hun sparer ikke bare tro, men også sitt morgenlys, sin kjærlighet og til og med sin pute, i håp om at han en dag vil komme tilbake.
Silvana Estrada’s Milagro y Desastre is a poetic plea to press pause on the entire world—she wants planes grounded and ships anchored so that the wind can carry her straight to the person she longs for. In this suspended moment, love feels like a cosmic event where hope and despair swirl together. The singer is ready to surrender before ever losing, choosing to stay and let the morning bring its own answers while she keeps her beloved "rendido en mi boca" (yielding on my lips) so that neither of them ever drifts off to sleep.
The repeated chant of “Milagro y desastre” captures the song’s central paradox: love is both a miracle and a mess, a burst of wonder wrapped in uncertainty. Estrada celebrates that tension, inviting us to embrace the beauty that can bloom inside chaos and the chaos that often hides inside beauty. Listening feels like standing in the eye of an emotional storm where stillness and turbulence coexist, reminding us that the most powerful connections are forged right at the intersection of the miraculous and the disastrous.
In "Casa," Silvana Estrada turns the idea of a house into a metaphor for her own body and heart. Instead of describing rooms or walls, she fills the house with memories: a spring afternoon, a flood from long ago, a summer that never really left.
The song looks at getting older and the toll that takes on love and health. Lines like "mi insólita vejez del corazón" (my unusual old age of the heart) describe an inner aging that feels out of place with how young she still is.
There is grief here too. Her house is "a star that goes out," and her voice says a sad goodbye. But the song is not only sorrow: it also remembers a "garden in love" and "three laughs that embrace," small warm moments that outlast the sadness.
By the end, "Casa" reads as a quiet meditation on impermanence: bodies change and love complicates things, yet home, in whatever form it takes, keeps holding what mattered.
Al Norte is Silvana Estrada’s heartfelt promise that love can redraw the map. She sings that she would head “al norte” or “al sur” in a heartbeat, because the real destination is simply the company of the person she loves. Listening to her gentle voice you can almost feel a suitcase snapping shut and footsteps starting the journey. Every direction on the compass becomes a declaration of devotion.
Yet beneath that adventurous spirit lies a hint of melancholy. Silvana admits it will take “algunos días, versos y melodías” to recover, and memories of an unfinished kiss still acechan her. The song balances longing and hope, showing that travel can be both literal and emotional. For English learners, “Al Norte” is a poetic lesson in how Spanish uses everyday words like norte and sur to express gigantic feelings. Expect to come away humming the chorus and remembering that any road feels lighter when “vayas tú”— when you go along.
Raise your glass and travel with Silvana Estrada through a cascade of heartfelt toasts. In Brindo she salutes everything that keeps our spirits buoyant: the hunger for freedom, the courage to change course, the strength that pushes our feet forward, and the simple beauty of life itself—rivers, sea breezes, and the hush of silence. Each "brindo" feels like a spark of gratitude for souls who have passed yet still light our way, for the wind that refuses to bow to an old storm, and for the poets and friends whose honest words become lifelines.
At its core, the song is an invitation to celebrate connection and resilience. Silvana lifts her voice in hopes of a new dawn where love and joy coexist, where lost smiles return as soft breezes, and where distant homes feel closer with every note. She toasts to chance encounters that give our voices meaning, to skin that turns into destiny, and to the long-awaited reunion with friends. Brindo reminds us that gratitude can transform the ordinary into the extraordinary, urging listeners to find music in every triumph, setback, and shared moment of being alive.
Silvana Estrada’s Se Me Ocurre is a radiant daydream in which hope wins the battle. The Mexican singer-songwriter imagines a world where “los buenos” – the good-hearted – finally come out on top, time itself wraps us in warmth, and love circles back wiser than before. She sings of meeting an old flame with fresh eyes, grateful that their shared instinct to care has survived the years. In this universe, music is more than background noise. It is the remedy for anyone feeling out of breath, a melodic medicine that revives tired spirits.
From hushed embraces that turn silence sweet, to city streets where a single kiss halts the rush of everyday life, the song celebrates love’s quietly transformative power. Estrada paints tender images – hands that heal old collapses, fear melting when people witness the wonder of affection, stars twinkling like distant fireflies. With each verse she reminds us that change is possible and goodness can prevail. Se Me Ocurre is an invitation to believe that when love leads the way, even the ordinary world can shimmer with marvels.
Silvana Estrada spends this whole song not saying the thing. She stays "Callada junto a tu almohada" (Silent beside your pillow), and the feeling still gets out sideways as "Un calor que me estremece" (A warmth that makes me shiver). The person she is singing to has no idea, which is the point. She even names what never happened: "La flor que nunca te di" (The flower that I never gave you). An alelí is a wallflower, and a lilac one is the gift she kept in her pocket.
Then she gives up, sweetly. The chorus is "Ay, ay, ay, ay, llévatelo todo" (Oh, oh, oh, oh, take it all), and the reason lands one line later: "Que sin ti, aquí, nada crece" (That without you, here, nothing grows). She packs up for the countryside and leaves her smile behind, because "¿Sin ti para qué la quiero?" (Without you, why do I want it?). Her love gets parked where nobody has to deal with it: "Mi amor es como un lucero" (My love is like a star), one that shines behind the blue of the sky whether or not anyone looks. The long wordless laralala stretch at the end says more than another verse would have.
Silvana Estrada’s “Un Día Cualquiera” is a bright love letter to the magic tucked inside an ordinary day. Instead of fireworks and drama, the song celebrates the rush of errands, the little arguments, and the hush of cool nighttime streets that welcome lovers home. The singer longs to be a beautiful echo in her partner’s timeline, spending an entire lifetime doing nothing more heroic than gazing into their eyes.
As the verses unfold, she imagines herself as the soft murmur on her lover’s lips—sometimes a gleeful kiss, sometimes fluttering butterflies of anticipation. She promises to duel with any fear that lives in their soul so that, when dawn arrives, the very first thing to greet the new light is their intertwined bodies and her simple, heartfelt whisper: “I love you.” The song reminds us that in the rhythm of everyday life, love can feel wonderfully extraordinary.
Silvana Estrada’s song "Aquí" feels like opening a window to the soul of someone who is both wide-eyed and weary. With each cry of piedad (mercy), she begs for the chance to see the world again through the innocent excitement of a child at the seashore. She longs for the small, everyday miracles hidden in a cup of coffee or the morning newspaper and hopes to accept herself irremediablemente — hopelessly, unchangeably — just as she is.
Yet behind the gentle melody lurks a quiet urgency; Estrada confesses she is running out of days to rescue the beauty she once overlooked. Time, personified as a relentless god tapping out unwanted rhythms, pushes her forward. In repeating "aquí" (here), she tries to anchor herself in the present moment, choosing wonder over regret. The result is a heartfelt meditation on growing up, letting go of fear and learning to cherish the ordinary sparks of magic that surround us every day.
The whole song is one person trying to postpone a goodbye by relocating it. "Vámonos de aquí" (Let's go from here) opens every verse, and each time it points somewhere else: a place to "endulzar la despedida" (sweeten the farewell), a night where tomorrow can be ignored, a spot "Donde te pueda besar" (Where I can kiss you). Nobody is being asked to stay. The request is only for a better setting to leave from.
The reason arrives in the line that repeats at the close of each half: "Por si un día tú me extrañas, tengas cómo recordar" (In case one day you miss me, you have a way to remember). The kiss, the sea, the pretending are being stockpiled as evidence, so that missing her later has something to hold. By the last verse the singer names the game outright — "Vamos a jugar a fingir que estas volviendo" (Let's play pretend that you are coming back) — while Charlie Hunter's guitar stays low and unhurried underneath, which keeps the whole plea from ever sounding like an argument.
