That message you shouldn't have read

That button you shouldn't have pushed

That clumsily ignored advice

That space was a private space

But he did not have nor will he have cold blood

Neither the clear mind, nor calculator

That even believing he knew what he was getting into

He opened that Pandora's box one afternoon

And the obsession decrypts in the cryptic

Violate the magic, beat the machine

And sooner or later nothing is secret

In the byways of computing

of computing

Made to bite in a clandestine span

Swallowing that pain that choked him

Clearly feeling the risk, the folly

Of the slope that in which she slipped

And in three weeks that seemed like years

She lost the desire to sleep and five kilos

And in flashback of jealousy they still keep coming

The sentences she should never have read

In that spiral logic sleeps

The atavistic finally comes to rest

And there is no password, prudence or end

That withstands the onslaught of a jealous cracker

And the obsession decrypts in the cryptic

Rape the magic, beat the machine

And sooner or later nothing is secret

In the byways of computing

And sooner or later nothing is secret

nothing is secret

Did you like this lyrics translation?

Jorge Drexler turns a jealous snoop through a partner's phone or computer into a little techno-tragedy. It opens with a list of regrets: "Aquel mensaje que no debió haber leído" (that message they shouldn't have read) and "Aquel botón que no debió haber pulsado" (that button they shouldn't have pressed). The person thought they could handle it, but one afternoon they opened "aquella caja de Pandora" (that Pandora's box), the old Greek myth of a box that releases every trouble once you lift the lid.

The chorus is the clever part. Obsession "desencripta lo críptico" (decrypts the cryptic) and "vence a la máquina" (beats the machine), because "tarde o temprano nada es secreto" (sooner or later nothing is secret) in the vericuetos of computing. Vericuetos is a lovely word: twisty, hard-to-reach paths. The damage is specific and a bit painful to read: in three weeks that felt like years they lost sleep and "cinco kilos" (five kilos), and the phrases keep coming back in flashbacks of jealousy. He even calls the snooper "un craquer celoso" (a jealous cracker), a hacker who breaks in. No password survives that, he says, and he's probably right.
