S.H.E.A Lyrics in English by RBD, Anahí, Dulce María, Maite Perroni, Christian Chávez, Christopher von Uckermann

Contener means 'to contain' or 'to hold back'. While it can refer to physically containing something, it often carries a more emotional weight, implying the act of suppressing feelings or reactions.

In this song, it's used in the phrase "Te hizo contener la respiración" (It made you hold your breath). This evokes a powerful image of being so overwhelmed by emotion or a moment that you literally stop breathing, making it a memorable and evocative word choice.

The title is an acronym for the line the whole song keeps returning to: Yo siempre he estado aquí ("I have always been here"). RBD open it with a date rather than a feeling — Desde Febrero he vuelto a escribirte canciones ("Since February I have been writing songs for you again") — which sets the song in the months after a break-up that one side never accepted. The six voices pass the same apology around: Con un lo siento quiero devolver el tiempo ("With a sorry I want to turn back time"), Para volver y que en un beso me perdones ("To come back, and be forgiven in a kiss").

What makes it more than a plea is that the argument is made in tenses. No tengo que volver / Si yo nunca me fui ("I don't have to come back / If I never left") refuses the idea of a return at all, and the chorus insists on it twice over: No se va, no se fue ("It doesn't go, it never went"). The song's claim is that first love isn't a thing you get over but a thing that stays put — Nunca olvidarás el primero amor ("You will never forget your first love") — so the only thing left to ask for is a sign: Tan sólo enséñame un poco de tu amor ("Just show me a little of your love").
