Cobarde Lyrics in English Carin Leon

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Cobarde by Carin Leon from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
We looked at each other yesterday
But it didn't go past that
You kept on walking and you took something from me
I wanted to say hi
But courage showed up late
I could clearly see my happiness walk away
I was wrong when I swore
that you were a thing of the past
Your eyes pulled me out of the world that I've invented
That happy world, where I don't have you
That world in which I've finally gotten over you
Chorus 1
I am a coward
I'm suffering because I didn't dare to talk to you
I know that you love me and you can't forget me
Damn pride that wanted to take part
in this love story
And because I'm a coward
I ended up the same but I keep asking myself
What would have been and that idea starts to torture me
For not wanting to be the first to break
I'm breaking for pretending that I'm not a coward
Eteta
And it's Carin Leon, listen
And that
Chorus 2
I'm a coward
I'm suffering because I didn't dare to talk to you
I know that you love me and you can't forget me
Damn pride that wanted to take part
in this love story
And because I'm a coward
I ended up the same but I keep asking myself
What would have been and that idea starts to torture me
For not wanting to be the first to break
I'm breaking for pretending that I'm not a coward

SONG MEANING

Cobarde (Coward) is Carin León’s heartfelt confession of that split second when pride shouts louder than love. The Mexican singer spots an old flame, feels his happiness sprint toward her, yet watches it slip away because he can’t work up the nerve to say hello. With vivid lines like “Tus ojos me sacaron del mundo que me he inventado” he admits that seeing her shatters the imaginary world where he already got over her.

The chorus is a raw self-diagnosis: “Soy un cobarde”. By refusing to be the first to crack, he ends up broken, haunted by the question “¿Qué hubiera sido?” The song turns a simple missed greeting into a universal warning—letting pride drive can leave our hearts stranded on the roadside of what might have been. Ultimately, Cobarde reminds us that sometimes the greatest risk is not daring to risk at all.
