Certeza translates to "certainty" or "assurance." It's a profound word that goes beyond simple knowing, implying a deep, unwavering conviction.
In the context of the song, Santiago Cruz uses certeza to describe the undeniable feeling he had when he knew his wife was the one. He emphasizes that true love isn't about sacrifice but about this inherent certainty, making it a powerful and memorable theme in the lyrics.
Santiago Cruz shares the sweet story of how he met his wife, María Paz, and how their love grew. It all started back in February 2011 when he was recording a concert. He was singing and, as he always tries to do, making eye contact with the audience. That's when he saw her – a beautiful woman next to his friend, actress Manuela González.
He was immediately smitten, but found out she was in a relationship. He was too, though his relationship was ending. Fate kept bringing them together, crossing paths often. A year later, on his birthday in February 2012, Manuela brought María Paz to his party. They talked all night, and when Manuela was leaving, Santiago took María Paz's hand and asked her to stay. He knew then, with a "certeza" [certainty], that she was the one. Two months later, in Spain, he told her he was ready, and she said she was too. Eleven years and two children later, they're still together, proving that sometimes, love just is.
