Como Si No Te Conociera Lyrics in English by Río Roma
Principiantes means "beginners." It's an interesting word choice in a love song because it suggests a fresh start and a willingness to learn and grow together.
In the song, the lyrics say, "Para ser expertos principiantes / Expertos principiantes de este amor" (To be expert beginners / Expert beginners of this love). This phrase is a beautiful paradox, implying that even after difficulties, they want to approach their love with the wisdom of experience but the fresh perspective and openness of someone just starting out. It's a unique and hopeful way to describe rekindling a relationship.
Have you ever messed up so badly in a relationship that you just wanted a do-over? That's exactly what Río Roma is singing about in "Como Si No Te Conociera" [As If I Didn't Know You]. The singer knows they've really hurt their partner, admitting, "Sé que esto no ha sido lo que tú esperabas / Que te he pedido trescientas veces perdón" [I know this isn't what you expected / That I've asked for your forgiveness three hundred times]. They see the distance growing and the sparkle gone from their loved one's eyes, realizing their own mistakes caused all this pain.
But here's the hopeful part: instead of giving up, the singer desperately wants to hit the reset button. They plead, "Por favor, borremos ya lo que pasó / Pintemos una hoja en blanco desde hoy" [Please, let's erase what happened / Let's paint a blank page starting today]. It's a beautiful idea of starting fresh, "Como si no te conociera" [As if I didn't know you], and finding the best in each other again, like "la primavera después de un invierno intenso" [spring after an intense winter]. It's about choosing to be "expertos principiantes de este amor" [expert beginners of this love], ready to learn and grow together, no matter what happened before.
