Si No Lo Cortas Lyrics in English by Daniela Spalla
Embarres comes from the verb embarrar, which literally means "to smear" or "to muddy." However, in a more colloquial sense, it means "to mess up" or "to complicate something."
In the song, Daniela Spalla sings, "Si no lo apagas puede que embarres todo lo demás" (If you don't turn it off, you might mess up everything else). She uses this word to convey the idea that if a problem isn't addressed, it could spread and ruin other aspects of her life or relationship, making it a compelling and relatable word choice.
Daniela Spalla's "Si No lo Cortas" [If You Don't Cut It] is a really relatable look at that moment when you know something needs to end, even if it hurts. She sings about how if you don't cut ties, it "puede que duela hasta la eternidad" [it might hurt until eternity], and how not stopping something could "embarres todo lo demás" [mess up everything else]. It's about that feeling of being alone and realizing someone doesn't love you anymore, but seeing it as just "un adelanto de lo que vendrá" [a preview of what's to come].
She talks about how stories can get stuck in a "lugar difícil de arrastrar" [a difficult place to drag from], and how everything can feel exhausting and dissolving when that person isn't there. Even though she has a "espacio grande dentro de mi alma para tu voz" [big space inside my soul for your voice], she repeats, "Pero todo me cansa, todo me cansa" [But everything tires me, everything tires me]. It's a blunt and honest song about the weariness that comes with a fading connection and the difficult decision to let go before things get even more complicated.
