Cuando Nadie Me Ve Lyrics in English Alejandro Sanz

Home / Lyrics Translation / Alejandro Sanz / Cuando Nadie Me Ve

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cuando Nadie Me Ve by Alejandro Sanz from Spanish to English.

Sometimes I rise, I do a thousand somersaults

Sometimes I lock myself behind open doors

Sometimes I tell you why this silence

And it's that sometimes I'm yours and sometimes the wind's

Sometimes by a thread and sometimes by a hundred

And there are times, my love, I swear that I think

Why is it so hard to feel like I feel?

To feel, like I feel, that it's hard

Sometimes I look at you and sometimes you let me

You lend me your wings, you trace your footprints

Sometimes for everything even though you never fail me

Sometimes I'm yours and sometimes nobody's

Sometimes I swear to you truly that I feel

Not giving you the whole life, giving you only those moments

Why is it so hard to live? that's all

To live, that's all, why is it so hard?

When nobody sees me I can be or not be

When nobody sees me I turn the world upside down

When nobody sees me my skin doesn't limit me

When nobody sees me I can be or not be

When nobody sees me

Sometimes I rise, I do a thousand somersaults

Sometimes I lock myself behind open doors

Sometimes I tell you why this silence

And it's that sometimes I'm yours and sometimes the wind's

I write to you from the centers of my own existence

Where the yearnings are born, the infinite essence

There are things so yours that I don't understand

And there are things so mine, but it's that I don't see them

I guess I think that I don't have them

I don't understand my life, verses ignite

That in the dark I can reach you, I'm sorry I don't get it right

Don't turn on the lights because I have naked

The soul and the body

When nobody sees me I can be or not be

When nobody sees me I resemble your skin

When nobody sees me I think of her too

When nobody sees me I can be or not be

When nobody sees me my skin doesn't limit me

When nobody sees me

I can be or not be

When nobody sees me my skin doesn't limit me

I can be, I can be or not be

When nobody sees me

Sometimes I rise, I do a thousand somersaults

I lock you in my eyes

Behind open doors

Sometimes I tell you why this silence

And it's that sometimes I'm yours and sometimes

Of the wind

Sometimes of the wind

And sometimes of time

SONG MEANING

When nobody’s watching, who are you really? Alejandro Sanz’s "Cuando Nadie Me Ve" is a poetic confession about the masks we wear and the freedom we feel when those masks come off. The Spanish singer paints himself as a tightrope walker of emotions: sometimes soaring with a thousand somersaults, other times hiding behind open doors. He moves between being passionately devoted to someone and drifting like a leaf in the wind, reminding us that identity can be slippery and love can be complicated.

The chorus is the key. Sanz repeats that when no one sees him he can "ser o no ser" — to be or not to be — flipping his world upside down without the limits of skin, time, or expectation. In those private moments he admits fears, doubts, and the pure desire simply to live. The song blends vulnerability with liberation, inviting listeners to explore their own hidden selves and to celebrate the strange, beautiful chaos that makes us human.
