Nadie Sabe Lyrics in English by Yahritza Y Su Esencia
Escapamos is the past tense of the verb escapar, which means "to escape". It's a word that immediately suggests a story of adventure and secrecy.
In the song, the singer recalls a memory, "cuando nos escapamos de niños" (when we escaped as children). This phrase paints a vivid picture of youthful, forbidden love, hinting at a deep history that makes their current secret relationship even more compelling.
Have you ever tried breaking up with someone when your brain says "walk away" but your heart refuses to listen? That is the exact mess Yahritza gets into here. She starts off daydreaming about being close again: Quiero sentir lo que se siente estar a tu lado ("I want to feel what it feels like to be by your side") and Cierro los ojos y nos puedo ver enamorados ("I close my eyes and I can see us in love"). But reality crashes in fast. Notice the conversational shortcut to' instead of todas in Pero es difícil olvidar to' las cosas que han pasado ("But it's hard to forget all the things that have happened"). People drop syllables like that all the time in everyday speech, and it fits how trapped she feels by her own memories.
She admits to being completely conflicted. She asks, ¿Cómo te explico que no quiero verte aquí? ("How do I explain to you that I don't want to see you here?"), only to confess right away that her feelings are all for them. Outside observers make it worse by treating the split like no big deal. Yahritza shuts them down with Nadie sabe del amor que tenemos tú y yo ("Nobody knows about the love you and I have") and calls them out: Piensan que es tan fácil decir adiós ("They think it's so easy to say goodbye"). By the end, she throws all logic out the window with an open invitation: Sabes que siempre puedes regresar a mí ("You know you can always come back to me"). It is messy, contradictory, and completely honest about refusing to let go.
