It was only once that you told me
That you would never, ever, ever think of lying to me
And then it happened, and then you did
And that one time was enough to make me want to leave
I know because I know, that you liked me
I never saw, I felt it and I didn't say anything
I didn't want to listen to hunches
I looked at your cell phone because I was drowning
I didn't imagine it would be so sad
I found what I was looking for in a bunch of jokes
It was that night, I was on a trip
You texted me to say hello
In the meantime you were buying a wine
Your mouth said 'I want to with you
I'm ashamed that it ended this way
But I kept my word
How can you look me in the face?
I wanted to unread and I wanted to die
I know because I know when you met
And that I had to do what I had avoided
I know because I know, that you liked me
I never saw, I felt it and I didn't say anything
How could I have listened to corazondas?
I looked at your cell phone because I was drowning
Can't you see that we're not guilty
Just victims of the inevitable?
We are guilty
Can't you see that we're not guilty
Just victims of the inevitable?
Can't you see that we're not guilty
Just victims of the inevitable?

desleerun-read / un-see

Desleer is a fascinating and somewhat rare word that literally means "to un-read" or "to un-see." It's not a standard verb you'd find in everyday conversation, making it particularly intriguing.

In the context of the song, the singer uses it to express a desperate wish to erase or undo what she has seen and read on her partner's phone. She found evidence of infidelity and now wishes she could "desleer" the painful truth, highlighting her regret and the emotional impact of the discovery.

Elsa y Elmar, a fantastic artist from Colombia, brings us "Sé Xq Sé," a song that dives right into the painful moment of discovering a partner's betrayal. It all starts with a broken promise: "Fue una sola vez la que me dijiste / Que jamás, nunca jamás pensarías en mentirme / Y después pasó, y después lo hiciste" [It was only once that you told me / That you would never, ever think of lying to me / And then it happened, and then you did it]. That single lie was enough to make her want to leave.

What makes this song so relatable is the gut feeling she had before finding proof. She "Nunca vi, lo sentí y no dije nada" [Never saw it, felt it, and said nothing], trying to ignore her instincts. But eventually, she was "ahogada" [drowning] and looked at his phone, finding what she was looking for "en un montón de chistes" [in a bunch of jokes]. The image of him buying wine and telling someone else "yo quiero contigo" [I want to be with you] while she was away is just heartbreaking. Even though she's embarrassed by how it ended, she stands by her word, leaving us with the powerful question: "¿Cómo puedes mirarme a la cara?" [How can you look me in the face?]
