Cobarde translates to 'coward' in English. It's a powerful and emotionally charged word that stands out in a romantic song, as it's not an everyday term you'd expect to hear.
In the lyrics, the singer expresses a deep vulnerability: "No quiero sentirme un cobarde" (I don't want to feel like a coward). This line reveals his fear of inaction or hesitation in pursuing love, making the listener wonder about the stakes and the courage required to follow his heart.
Ever felt like you were living in a fairy tale, but you didn't know the rules? That's the feeling at the heart of "Princesa." The singer is totally confused about how to find his perfect person. He asks, "Cómo es que se elige una princesa / Cómo saber si es una de ellas" (How do you choose a princess / How to know if she's one of them?). He's searching for his own "príncipe azul" (Prince Charming) story and needs a sign to point him in the right direction.
This search for love has completely changed him. He declares, "Ya no soy yo / Es el amor" (It's not me anymore / It's love), feeling like he's waking up to a whole new world. This powerful emotion leaves him lost, admitting, "No se quien soy / Ni a donde voy / Aunque pensé que estaba claro" (I don't know who I am / Or where I'm going / Even though I thought it was clear). But even with all this confusion, he's determined not to be a coward and wants to follow his heart, hoping it's not too late.
