Desprevenida Lyrics in English Malu

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Desprevenida by Malu from Spanish to English.
It caught me off guard
So much life all at once
Caught me so defenseless
Your truth so unconscious
Just as you embrace my need for a hug
And you break my windows
And you slam the door
Today I don't understand destiny
Nor do I intend to
But you arrive, surrendering your ways
Inventing a way out
Giving spring
Stripping my fears bare
Every time you chase me
When I turn around
And you don't wait
And you approach my mouth
And you unpack my drawers
And you drive me even crazier
Stripping my intention in haste
And cornering
My defeats
Opportune coincidence
Today your embrace tastes like home
Setting me so free
Dismantling my armor
Just as you kiss my need for a kiss
And you bite my truths
And you scream at me in silence
Today I don't understand destiny
Nor do I intend to
But you arrive, surrendering your ways
Inventing a way out
Giving spring
Stripping my fears bare
Every time you chase me
When I turn around
And you don't wait
And you approach my mouth
And you unpack my drawers
And you drive me even crazier
Stripping my intention in haste
And cornering
Cornering my defeats
But you arrive, surrendering your ways
Inventing a way out
Giving spring
Stripping my fears bare
Every time you chase me
When I turn around
And you don't wait
And you unpack my drawers
Stripping my intention in haste
And cornering
My defeats
But you arrive
Stripping my intention in haste
And cornering
My defeats

SONG MEANING

“Desprevenida” (“Off Guard”) captures the electrifying moment when love bursts into someone’s life without warning. Malú paints a vivid picture of a heart caught unprepared: windows shatter, drawers are flung open, and the world suddenly blooms into an unexpected primavera (spring). The lyrics describe how the narrator’s defenses crumble as this whirlwind lover instinctively finds every hidden need—offering hugs, kisses, and silent truths that both disarm and exhilarate her.

At its core, the song is about liberation. The newcomer’s bold affection strips away fears, dismantles old armor, and turns past defeats into victories. Malú’s passionate delivery turns vulnerability into strength, reminding us that when love barges in unannounced, it can feel chaotic yet beautifully freeing.
