Nada Lyrics in English by Paula Arenas
Ocultarme is a reflexive verb meaning "to hide from me" or "to conceal from me." It's an interesting word because it implies a deliberate act of concealment, suggesting a deeper emotional dynamic than a simple lack of knowledge.
In the song, the lyric "Y prefieres ocultarme lo que tienes que decir" (And you prefer to hide from me what you have to say) highlights a central theme of unspoken truths and emotional distance. It's a key word that captures the pain of being kept in the dark by someone you care about.
Paula Arenas's "Nada" is a really interesting song about a relationship where one person feels completely misunderstood and ignored. It's like she's saying, "You know so much about everything else, but when it comes to me, you know nothing." She points out how the other person knows about memories and forgetting, missing someone and waiting, but also knows how to ignore and avoid. It's a blunt observation: "Sabes mucho, sabes nada, de lo que me pasa a mí" [You know a lot, you know nothing, about what's happening to me].
What's even more frustrating for her is that the other person seems to know that something is wrong between them, but just doesn't care. She sings, "Sabes que hay algo que anda mal Entre tu y yo Y no te importa nada, nada, nada" [You know there's something wrong Between you and me And you don't care about anything, anything, anything]. Despite all this, there's a glimmer of hope or perhaps a desperate plea as she says, "Aun así yo creo en ti Yo te quiero en mi destino" [Even so, I believe in you I want you in my destiny]. It's a powerful look at feeling invisible in a relationship, even when you're right there.
