There's something in you, love

That I still can't decipher

A thousand beauty marks to count, to travel across your skin

I'm a stranger, discovering in your world

There's something, my love

That I still couldn't tell you

Secrets of yesterday, I know how to try

What you were looking for, that other half

And the more I know you, the less I know about you

And the more I get closer, you move away from me

In your ordered madness, I'll stay to live

I know how to make you happy

When you say yes, I know it's no

When you say no, I know it's yes

I know it, you too, that's how it is

And when you say yes, I know it's no

When you say no, I know it's yes

I know it, you too, that's how it is

Addicted to your contradiction

There's something, my love

That's not easy to explain

Today you bought a hundred, to understand

The patience I still have left to buy

There's something weird about this, love, that I still can't decode

Don't get me wrong, but between the two of us

There's a cable that we still need to solder

And the more I know you, the less I know about you

And the more I get closer, you move away from me

In your ordered madness, I'll stay to live

I know how to make you happy

When you say yes, I know it's no

When you say no, I know it's yes

I know it, you too, that's how it is

And when you say yes, I know it's no

When you say no, I know it's yes

I know it, you too, that's how it is

Addicted to your contradiction

I know it, you too, that's how it is

When you say yes, I know it's no

When you say no, I know it's yes

I know it, you too

I know it, you too, that's how it is

contradicción — contradiction

Contradicción means "contradiction." It's a sophisticated word that perfectly encapsulates the central theme of the song and the complex nature of the relationship described.

Diego Torres sings, "Adicto a tu contradicción" (Addicted to your contradiction), highlighting the captivating yet perplexing dynamic with his partner. This word is key to understanding the push-and-pull, the 'yes means no' and 'no means yes' that defines their love, making it a memorable and intriguing choice for learners.

Diego Torres spends this whole song stuck on one loop: a partner whose yes means no. He says it flat out in the chorus, twice each way: "Cuando dices si, yo se que es no" [When you say yes, I know it's no], "Cuando dices no, yo se que si" [When you say no, I know it's yes]. Then he names what that does to him: "Adicto a tu contradicción" [Addicted to your contradiction]. Not frustrated. Not leaving. Addicted.

The verses work the same puzzle from different angles. "Y mientras más, te conozco, desconozco de ti" [And the more I know you, the less I know about you] is the cleanest line in the song, and "Hay un cable que aun nos falta por soldar" [There's a cable that we still need to solder] turns the whole relationship into an unfinished repair job. His answer to all of it is "En tu locura ordenada yo me quedo a vivir" [In your ordered madness, I'll stay to live]. He's not solving her. He's moving in.
