I did not expect

who provoked

All the fires would be who

He also turned them off

if he had known

that the wait was the end

I would have followed you

And, on the glacier, I would have frozen for you

but this morning

When the snow came covering the pillow

I didn't imagine it was deeper than

The frost on your skin

how did you let go

the cold inside you

has caused a cyclone

has destroyed everything

And now there is no place

to which to return

to which to want to return

My fingers have gone numb and I

I can't touch you, I can't stop

That you go alone, my love

You are not afraid, icy statue

you have made of ice

And, although I keep the salt from each tear

you won't melt

how did you let go

the cold inside you

has caused a cyclone

has destroyed everything

And now there is no place

to which to return

to which to want to return

And now there is no place

to which to return

to which to want to return

how did you let go

the cold inside you

has caused a cyclone

has destroyed everything

entumecido — numbed

Entumecido means "numbed" or "paralyzed." It's a vivid and evocative word that goes beyond a simple description of cold.

In the song, the lyric "Se han entumecido mis dedos y yo no puedo tocarte" (My fingers have gone numb and I can't touch you) uses this word to convey a profound sense of emotional and physical paralysis caused by the coldness of a relationship. It highlights the inability to connect, making it a powerful and memorable choice.

Zahara opens with a sting: she never expected the person who caused every fire in her life to be the one who put them out too. "Todos los incendios sería quien" [it would be the same person behind every fire], she sings, and the rest of the song runs with that idea before the chorus even lands.

From there the cold takes over completely. "Cuando la nieve llegó cubriendo la almohada" [when the snow came, covering the pillow], she says, and it goes deeper than frost on skin. Her fingers go numb, she can't reach him, can't stop him walking off alone. The chorus says it plainly: "El frío dentro de ti" [the cold inside you], "Ha provocado un ciclón" [has caused a cyclone], "Lo ha destrozado todo" [has destroyed everything]. By the last verse the cold has gone all the way through him: "Tú no tienes miedo, estatua glacial" [you're not afraid, a glacial statue], and no amount of her tears is going to be what thaws him.
