I don't understand why I feel so lonely
When I'm with you
Explain the problem to me
Because I cannot do it
Where do I look for you
When you slip out of my mouth
Whoever understands you now
It'll be because she went crazy too
You're a stranger that strolls through my house
I don't recognize you, I don't understand what's wrong with you
You say that you love me when you see the cliff
Bad loving has become a vice
And I lifted you up
And nobody knows that
I was the one who endured
The echo of my name everywhere
Absent
No matter how hard you try
I don't understand why I look at myself in the mirror
And I feel weird
I can't stop crying alone
This pain doesn't stop
Where should I move
To start over
No matter what happens
She goes first
You're a stranger that strolls through my house
I don't recognize you, I don't understand what's wrong with you
You say that you love me, but you've already lost your mind
Bad loving has become a vice
And I lifted you up
And nobody knows that
I was the one who endured
The echo of my name everywhere
Absent
No matter how much you make things up
I lifted you up and nobody knows that
I was the one who endured
The echo of my name everywhere
Absent
No matter how hard you try

SONG MEANING

Ever felt lonely while sitting right next to the person you’re supposed to love? That strange mix of closeness and emptiness is the heartbeat of “Ausente.” Malu paints a vivid picture of a relationship where one partner has emotionally checked out, turning into “an extraño que pasea por mi casa.” The singer pleads for answers, wondering where her partner’s mind goes when his body is still there, and confesses how that silent distance makes her question her own reflection.

Yet the song is not just a lament; it is a quiet declaration of strength. Malu reminds us she was the one who “te levanté,” the one who held the weight of the relationship when love turned into a toxic habit. By repeating “Ausente,” she stamps the truth that emotional abandonment can hurt more than any physical absence. In the end she plants a seed of self-love: “Ella va primero.” No matter how hard the other person tries to rewrite history, she now chooses herself, ready to move on and begin again.
