Verse 1
Three weeks passed and my faith
It escaped through the window
Now I answer the phone calmly
And not with those cravings
To hear that you were missing me even if it was
One more of your lies
But I kept waiting and waiting
You have left my life
I looked for you where they told me that they saw you
And your absence greeted me
The gazes of the people dressed me
In total indifference
These desires to hug you without having you
They have my body trembling
Because this time of not seeing you is eternal
And I continue asking myself
Chorus 1
I don't know where you went
That I don't know anything about you anymore
At first, you looked for me a little bit
And that more harm than good was consoling me
This is a short version of the Spanish expression: 'más mal que bien' = more harm than good
You disappeared from me
Like water through my hands
It's only been three weeks and I feel
That many years passed
Chorus 2
I don't know where you went
That I don't know anything about you anymore
At first, you looked for me a little bit
And that more harm than good was consoling me
You disappeared from me
Like water through my hands
It's only been three weeks and I feel
That many years passed

desapareciste — you disappeared

Desapareciste means "you disappeared" (informal past tense). It's a powerful and evocative verb that perfectly captures the central theme of loss and confusion in the song.

In the lyrics, the singer laments, "Te me desapareciste como agua entre mis manos" (You disappeared on me like water through my hands). This vivid imagery of something vanishing unexpectedly and uncontrollably makes the word incredibly impactful and memorable, highlighting the sudden and complete absence of a loved one.

Have you ever felt like a few weeks of heartbreak stretched on for years? That's exactly what Mexican superstar Marco Antonio Solís is singing about in "Tres Semanas". The song starts with a feeling of defeated acceptance. He says, "Ya pasaron tres semanas y mi fe / Se escapó por la ventana" (It's been three weeks and my faith / Escaped through the window). He's not anxiously waiting by the phone anymore, because he knows the person who left him has completely vanished from his life.

He describes the feeling of being ghosted perfectly. At first, there was a little contact, which he admits "mal que bien a mi me consolaba" (for better or worse, that comforted me). But then, nothing. She disappeared "Como agua entre mis manos" (Like water between my hands). Now, he's left with a physical longing that has his body trembling and the painful feeling that while it's "Sólo han sido tres semanas" (only been three weeks), it feels like many years have passed.
