Si Supieras

The song 'Si Supieras' by Hermanos Silva is a poignant expression of unspoken love and deep affection. The title itself, which translates to 'If You Knew' in English, sets the stage for a confession of love that is yet to be revealed to the object of the singer's desire. The lyrics convey a sense of longing and vulnerability that is often associated with the fear of unrequited feelings.

The opening lines of the song, spoken rather than sung, immediately establish an intimate connection with the listener. The singer admits to loving someone deeply and thinking about them constantly. This admission of constant thought and affection suggests an overwhelming emotional attachment to the person they love. The phrase 'me estas robando el sueño' indicates that the singer is so consumed by thoughts of their beloved that it's affecting their ability to sleep, a common metaphor for obsession or deep infatuation.

As the song progresses, the singer reveals their hesitance to act on their feelings, fearing the repercussions of a stolen kiss. This fear of rejection or ruining what they have is a relatable sentiment, highlighting the vulnerability that comes with expressing one's feelings. The repetition of the lines 'Si supieras que siempre estoy pensando en ti' emphasizes the constant presence of this person in the singer's thoughts. The metaphor of the beloved being stuck like a thorn 'te me clavaste y nadie te saca de aqui' illustrates the pain and permanence of their love. The song captures the essence of yearning and the bittersweet torture of loving someone from afar, a theme that resonates with many who have experienced unspoken love.
