Te Guardo Lyrics in English by Silvana Estrada
Descifres comes from the verb descifrar, meaning 'to decipher' or 'to decode'. It's a captivating word that suggests a mystery waiting to be unraveled.
In the song, Silvana Estrada sings, "Tengo una voz y una piel / Que quieren que tú las descifres" (I have a voice and a skin / That want you to decipher them). This line beautifully conveys a desire for deep understanding and intimacy, inviting the listener to delve beyond the surface.
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.
