Get ready to sway with uncertainty! In her soulful rendition of the classic bolero “Quizás, Quizás, Quizás,” Guatemalan singer-songwriter Gaby Moreno steps into the shoes of someone madly in love yet trapped in limbo. Every time she asks her crush the big questions—what, when, how, where?—all she hears back is a teasing “perhaps.” The melody is smooth and romantic, but the lyrics reveal mounting frustration as days slip by and the answer never changes.
The song captures the bittersweet dance between hope and hesitation. While the narrator’s heart races forward, the other person stalls, overthinking and wasting time instead of committing. Moreno’s warm voice highlights both the allure of possibility and the agony of waiting, making this tune a playful reminder that maybe can feel like the longest word in any language.
Gaby Moreno is a Guatemalan singer-songwriter and guitarist, now based in Los Angeles, whose warm vocals move between Spanish and English while mixing Latin roots with blues, folk, and Americana. If you like music that feels intimate but still adventurous, she is a perfect artist to explore.
She won Best New Artist at the 2013 Latin GRAMMYs and later won Best Latin Pop Album at the 2024 GRAMMYs for X MÍ (VOL.1). Her self-produced Alegoría is a GRAMMY-nominated record that leans into both languages and a wide emotional range.
