Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Por El Miedo A Equivocarnos by Maldita Nerea from Spanish to English.

We were different, impossible

And a future less clear

To clearly understand what you say

Makes me feel so weird

Everything starts to become sad

To stay on the other side

You also promised that

We were two mistaken, mistaken

And now this place is full

Of nights without art

Of empty hugs

Of worlds apart

Of ice in the eyes

Of fear of meeting

Of gaps, of breaks, of desire to hate each other

I've been feeling it already, I'm running out of air

The sky has fallen, it's dying, it's breaking

It's only a sustained hell

It's only a relative effort

I ask for almost nothing

That my senses get lost

And your gaze clouds

But fear gets us

It grows big in these hands

A bad memory chases us

We were two mistaken

Mistaken

I'm leaving, I'm leaving

Because this place is full

Of nights without art

Of empty hugs

Of worlds apart

Of ice in the eyes

Of fear of meeting

Of gaps, of breaks, of desire to hate each other

I've been feeling it already I'm running out of air

The star has fallen, it's dying, it's breaking

It's just a sustained hell

Because of the fear of being wrong

Because this place is full

Of nights without art

Of empty hugs

Of ice in the eyes

Of worlds apart

Of fallen skies

And I've already been feeling it

I'm running out of air

It's only a sustained hell

Because of the fear of being wrong

I don't want to hear you

Don't insist, I prefer to find you this time

Flooding my eyes

Waiting for it to pass

For us to fall again

And I only say that

I never wanted to hurt you

But everything slipped away from us

And although now we're like strangers

I will never forget you

Of nights without art

Of empty hugs

Of worlds apart

Of ice in the eyes

Of fear of meeting

Of gaps, of breaks, of desire to hate each other

And I only say that I never wanted to hurt you

It's only a sustained hell

Because of the fear of being wrong

The fear of being wrong

I only say that

I never wanted to hurt you

It's only a sustained hell

Because of the fear of being wrong

equivocarnos — to make mistakes / to be wrong

Equivocarnos comes from the verb equivocarse, meaning "to make a mistake" or "to be wrong". While equivocar is a common verb, the reflexive form equivocarnos (we make mistakes) is particularly poignant in this song.

The title itself, "Por El Miedo A Equivocarnos" (For the Fear of Making Mistakes), highlights the central theme. The song explores how the fear of being wrong or making errors can lead to broken relationships and missed opportunities, making this word the emotional core of the lyrics.

Por El Miedo A Equivocarnos is a heartfelt confession about a relationship that drowns under its own insecurities. Maldita Nerea paints two lovers who once felt “imposibles” yet magnetic, only to watch every embrace turn into an abrazo vacío and every conversation into a reminder of how far apart they have drifted. The chorus stacks vivid images—noches sin arte, mundos aparte, hielo en los ojos—to show that fear of making mistakes has frozen their love in place, converting what could have been magical into an infierno sostenido (a lingering hell).

Beneath the melancholy, the song carries a clear message: when we let the miedo a equivocarnos (fear of messing up) dictate our choices, we end up suffocating both ourselves and those we care about. The narrator’s final decision to leave is not spiteful; it is an act of self-rescue, a bittersweet acknowledgment that love cannot survive on fear alone. The track invites listeners to confront their anxieties, to risk error, and to keep their hearts open—otherwise, even the brightest connection can fade into silence.
