Aparentar means "to pretend" or "to feign." It's an interesting verb because it implies putting on a facade or giving a false impression, which adds a layer of complexity to the lyrics.
In the song, the singer expresses a desire to "aparentar" (pretend) that their loved one will always be there. This reveals a poignant wish to escape the reality of potential separation, making the word both relatable and emotionally resonant.
Have you ever felt like you just can't be away from someone? Los Amigos Invisibles perfectly capture that feeling in "Es La Verdad" [It's the truth]. The singer declares, "Yo no puedo estar muy lejos de ti" [I can't be very far from you], and even imagines, "Mi vida sin ti me puedo morir" [My life without you, I could die]. It's a dramatic, but super relatable, expression of how essential someone can feel to your existence.
It's not all doom and gloom though! There's a hopeful desire to "Quiero volar, quiero escapar y aparentar" [I want to fly, I want to escape and pretend] that this person will always be there, so they can "así cantar" [and so sing]. The song keeps asking, "¿Por qué será?" [Why will it be?], like they're genuinely puzzled by the depth of this connection. And then, a really cool line at the end: "Si usted está aquí, usted está en todo el mundo" [If you are here, you are everywhere in the world]. It's a beautiful way to say that this person's presence makes their whole world complete.
