Descifres comes from the verb descifrar, meaning 'to decipher' or 'to decode'. It's a captivating word that suggests a mystery waiting to be unraveled.
In the song, Silvana Estrada sings, "Tengo una voz y una piel / Que quieren que tú las descifres" (I have a voice and a skin / That want you to decipher them). This line beautifully conveys a desire for deep understanding and intimacy, inviting the listener to delve beyond the surface.
This song by Mexican artist Silvana Estrada is a beautiful, hopeful letter to someone who isn't quite there yet. The singer feels completely herself with this person, saying they take away her "tres caras posibles" (three possible faces) and give her a "risa con alas" (a laugh with wings) that only comes out when they're alone. She sees a connection in their eyes, which "brillan igual que los míos" (shine just like mine), but she can't figure out what they're thinking.
Because of this uncertainty, the whole song becomes about waiting and saving things for them. It's a powerful declaration of patience. If this person ever changes their mind, she is ready. She says, "Te guardo un poquito de fe" (I'm saving a little bit of faith for you). And it's not just faith she's saving; she's keeping her whole world on hold for them, promising "mi luz de mañana / Mis ojos, mi amor y mi almohada" (my morning light / My eyes, my love, and my pillow). It's a song about holding onto hope for a love that feels both deeply connected and impossibly far away.
