Escondidos Lyrics in English by Neto Bernal
Escondidos translates to "hidden" or "secret". It's a captivating word that immediately sets a tone of clandestine romance and forbidden love.
In the song, it refers to the lovers meeting in secret, "hidden in the big city," because their love is not yet public. The word perfectly encapsulates the central theme of the song: a passionate, yet concealed, relationship that longs to be free.
Neto Bernal's "Escondidos" is all about that thrilling, forbidden love! It tells the story of two people who are secretly together, meeting "Lejos en algún lugar, Escondidos en la gran ciudad" [Far away somewhere, hidden in the big city] and making up "cualquier tontería Para vernos solo una vez más" [any nonsense to see each other just one more time]. The singer hates the secrecy, wishing they could "gritarle a todo el mundo Este amor que existe entre tú y yo" [shout to everyone this love that exists between you and me], but he accepts that it's the only way they can be together.
Despite the secrecy, there's a real passion here. He sings about wanting to kiss her "Sin rendirle cuenta a lo prohibido" [without accounting to the forbidden] and how "mi boca haga lo necesario Y luego que mis manos quiten tu vestido" [my mouth does what's necessary and then my hands take off your dress]. It's a bold and direct expression of desire! He believes that "Si la vida es solamente una Para qué esperar si solo a ti te quiero" [If life is only one, why wait if I only love you?]. The song culminates in a powerful declaration: "Y si lo sabe Dios Que lo sepa el mundo entero" [And if God knows it, let the whole world know it]. It's a song about a love so strong, they're willing to risk it all, even if it means staying hidden for now.
