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.
