Torpeza translates to "clumsiness" or "awkwardness". It's a less common word in song lyrics, making it stand out and feel more personal.
In the song, Vanesa Martín sings, "Si pudiera volver borraría cada error, mi torpeza y tanta estupidez" (If I could go back, I would erase every mistake, my clumsiness and so much stupidity). She uses torpeza to describe her own past mistakes and lack of grace in the relationship, adding a layer of vulnerability and regret that is very relatable.
Vanesa Martín teams up with Latin Grammy winning siblings Jesse & Joy to paint a vivid picture of what-ifs and heart-ache in “Si Pudiera”. The narrator looks back on a relationship that ended far too abruptly – no final coffee, no gentle “how are you?”. Instead, she is left clutching memories that still smell like her ex, replaying every misstep and torpeza she wishes she could erase. Autumn leaves are falling, friends gather, yet every small detail pulls her back to that unfinished goodbye.
The song balances raw regret with hard-earned growth. Yes, she still dreams of her former love “cada maldita hora”, and jealousy flares at the thought of someone else’s embrace, but there is also the clear admission that her partner is probably better off without her. In the end, “Si Pudiera” becomes an honest confession: learning to own your mistakes, accept the consequences, and move forward – even when your heart lingers in the past.
