La Historia Jamás Contada Lyrics in English by Carlos Rivera, Andrés Obregón
Lastimamos means "we hurt" or "we harm". It's a poignant word that speaks to the unintended consequences of our actions in relationships.
In the song, Carlos Rivera reflects on how easily "sin darnos cuenta lastimamos a quien más quieres cuidar" (without realizing it, we hurt those we care for the most). This word captures a universal human experience of regret and the pain caused by mistakes, making it deeply relatable and emotionally resonant.
Have you ever had to make a tough decision, like ending a relationship, and then immediately regretted it? That's exactly where Carlos Rivera and Andrés Obregón take us in "La Historia Jamás Contada" [The Never Told Story]. The singer is trying to convince himself and everyone else that breaking up was the right thing to do, saying he has to "inventar razones que parezcan lógicas" [invent reasons that seem logical]. But deep down, he knows it's not true. He desperately wants to go back, to "decirlo todo y de algún modo cerrar la herida que aún lastima" [say everything and somehow close the wound that still hurts], and to tell his ex all the things he never got to say.
He admits he messed up, saying "eso no me quita lo idiota" [that doesn't take away how idiotic I was] and that he "caminé la cuerda floja sin saberme equilibrar" [walked the tightrope without knowing how to balance]. He has so much he wants to fix and a whole "historia jamás contada" [never told story] he wants to share. The big question is, if he calls, "¿Contestarás?" [Will you answer?]. It's a really relatable song about regret, wanting a second chance, and the fear of not knowing if that chance will ever come.
