Escondidos Lyrics in English La Adictiva
Escondidos means "hidden" or "secret". It's a key word in this song, setting the entire mood and theme.
The song is about a secret love affair, where the lovers have to meet "escondidos en la gran ciudad" (hidden in the big city) and keep their relationship a secret from the world. This word perfectly captures the clandestine nature of their romance and the longing to be together openly.
“Escondidos” paints the thrill and frustration of a love that has to stay under the radar. The singer and his partner sneak around the sprawling city, inventing excuses just to steal another moment together. He longs to shout their romance from the rooftops yet knows secrecy is the only way they can keep seeing each other. This tension creates a bittersweet cocktail of passion, rebellion, and urgency — after all, la vida es solamente una (life is only one).
In each clandestine rendezvous they refuse to answer to what is “forbidden.” Kisses, whispered promises, and the rush of undressing in hiding become acts of quiet defiance. The chorus flips the secrecy on its head: If God already knows, why shouldn’t the whole world? By the end, the song celebrates living boldly for love, reminding us that when you truly want someone, waiting feels like wasting the only life you have.
