Dos Extraños Lyrics in English by Yahritza Y Su Esencia
The word extrañan comes from the verb extrañar, which means 'to miss'. The real magic here is its direct relationship to the song's title, Dos Extraños (Two Strangers).
The most powerful line is "Somos dos extraños que se extrañan tanto", which translates to "We are two strangers who miss each other so much". This clever play on words, using two different forms of the same root (extraño and extrañar), beautifully captures the song's heartbreaking theme of two people who are now strangers but still secretly long for one another.
This song is all about that super awkward moment when you run into your ex and have to pretend you don't know each other. Yahritza sings about seeing her former love at a club, who is acting like a total stranger: "Te hiciste la que no me conocías / Cuando pasé por un lado" (You pretended you didn't know me / When I passed by your side). The worst part? The ex is still wearing a necklace she gave them! She remembers how they used to be inseparable, but now they can't even look each other in the eye.
The whole song is built around this painful idea: "Somos dos extraños que se extrañan tanto" (We are two strangers who miss each other so much). The singer insists that even though it's over, she still has a place in her ex's heart. She throws out one of the best lines about modern breakups: "Podrás sacarme de Instagram / Pero no de tu memoria" (You can remove me from Instagram / But not from your memory). She feels like she didn't end things and is left wondering why they can't even talk when they used to speak for hours.
