Separaos is a colloquial, shortened form of "separados," meaning "separated." It's a key word in the song, as it's part of the title and chorus.
Santa Fe Klan uses this word to express the pain and confusion of a breakup, even when the love is still present. The repetition of "separao's, separao's" emphasizes the finality and the emotional impact of their separation, despite still being "enamorao'" (in love).
Have you ever felt completely blindsided by a breakup? That's exactly where Santa Fe Klan is in "Separaos." He's asking, "¿Cuál fue la razón?" [What was the reason?], because he truly thought "nada iba mal" [nothing was wrong]. He's just left in the cold, literally, saying "Me muero de frío porque tú no estás conmigo" [I'm dying of cold because you're not with me], with only "La soledad de testigo" [loneliness as a witness].
It's a really relatable feeling of being stuck, still "enamorao'" [in love] but completely "separao's" [separated]. He can't understand "que nos ha pasado" [what happened to us], especially when he still feels the same way he did "en el pasado" [in the past]. The song really hits home with that feeling of emptiness, even when you're physically close, describing how "En la habitación se siente el vacío" [The emptiness is felt in the room] and they're living "separados donde mismo" [separated in the same place]. He's at a crossroads, feeling like he's "Apunto de caer en el abismo" [about to fall into the abyss], but also deciding to move on, saying "Ahora sin rumbo me voy lejos, ya no volveré" [Now aimlessly I go far away, I will not return]. Even with that decision, he'll always remember her, carrying "tatuajes de tus besos" [tattoos of your kisses].
