Coldplay Lyrics in English by Aitana, Cali Y El Dandee
Escondiste means "you hid" (from the verb esconder). It's an interesting word because it reveals a moment of vulnerability and avoidance in the song.
The singer recounts a situation where their ex-partner saw mutual friends at a bar and "te escondiste porque no fuiste capaz de saludar" (you hid because you weren't able to say hello). This word captures the awkwardness and lingering pain of a breakup, where one person avoids confrontation, making it a relatable and emotionally charged choice.
Aitana and Cali Y El Dandee's "Coldplay" is a super relatable song about the messy aftermath of a breakup, even when you're the one who asked for a break!
The song kicks off with that familiar post-breakup sadness, thinking about all the harsh words and broken dreams. Our singer is tired of fighting and wonders if their partner feels the same. They even joke, "No todos somos Camilo y EvaLuna" [Not all of us are Camilo and EvaLuna], referencing a famously loved-up celebrity couple, because love is fragile and disappears if you don't take care of it. The singer suggests taking a break, but then the jealousy hits hard when they see their ex moving on. "Coldplay, ¿sin mí? ¿En serio?" [Coldplay, without me? Seriously?] is such a funny and specific line – who goes to a Coldplay concert without their ex if they were a fan together? The song perfectly captures that internal struggle of wanting to reach out but refusing to make the first move, even though "por dentro me matan las ganas de hablar" [inside, the desire to talk is killing me]. It's all about the regret of asking for space and realizing you made a mistake, wishing you could go back in time. The ending, a year later, with the singer finally letting go, is a bittersweet goodbye.
