Nada Saben de Ti

Horacio Guarany's song 'Nada Saben de Ti' delves into the profound emotions of love, longing, and the intimate experiences shared between two people. The lyrics poignantly express the narrator's frustration with those who claim to understand his pain and the depth of his relationship, yet have never truly witnessed the intimate moments that define it. The repeated phrase 'Que saben de ti' (What do they know about you) underscores the idea that outsiders can never fully grasp the essence of their bond or the sorrow of their separation.

The song paints vivid imagery of the couple's shared experiences, such as the trembling of doves in the wind and the biting of lips to avoid saying goodbye. These metaphors highlight the intensity and passion of their love, suggesting that it transcends ordinary understanding. The narrator's assertion that 'el amor fue final cuando hay dos corazones en flor' (love was never final when there are two hearts in bloom) emphasizes the enduring nature of their connection, even in the face of physical separation.

In the latter part of the song, the narrator expresses a hopeful longing for reunion. He believes that his lover will return to the 'nido de troncos' (nest of logs) that remains imprisoned in the snow without her warmth and voice. This imagery of a cold, desolate place awaiting her return symbolizes the narrator's own state of longing and incompleteness. The repetition of 'volveras' (you will return) serves as a mantra of hope and faith in the power of their love to overcome distance and time. Ultimately, 'Nada Saben de Ti' is a heartfelt ode to the unseen depths of love and the enduring hope for reunion.
