“Cómo Decir Que No” catapults us into the thrilling contradiction of love: that bittersweet zone where the heart shouts sí even when the mind begs for a no. Carlos Baute’s narrator is trapped in a roller-coaster of emotions, torn between the joy of feeling alive in love and the pain of not knowing whether the other person feels the same. He admits that loving this intensely is both a dream and an obsession; it makes him suffer, yet it’s the very source of his happiness. The song paints love as a game of roulette steered by the heart, not by logic, so resisting is almost impossible.
As the verses unfold, Baute repeats his central question: “Cómo decir que no a lo que siento yo por ti?” How can he escape someone who has become his sweet addiction? This confession captures the universal struggle of anyone who has ever loved too hard and too fast. The Venezuelan-Spanish artist wraps this emotional tug-of-war in catchy Latin pop, reminding us that love doesn’t always make sense, but it always makes us feel alive.
