A Las Escondidas

In 'A Las Escondidas,' Jimmy González Y Grupo Mazz delve into the complexities of a clandestine love affair. The song's lyrics paint a vivid picture of a relationship that must be kept hidden, filled with longing and the pain of secrecy. The protagonist expresses a deep connection with their partner, but both are constrained by circumstances that prevent them from being openly together. This hidden love is fraught with anxiety and the constant fear of being discovered, as evidenced by the lines, 'Cada vez que nos vemos / Te noto tan preocupada / Con un temor que no te deja / Entregarte completamente.' The repeated glances and the unspoken words highlight the tension and the emotional toll of their secret meetings.

The chorus, 'A las escondidas / Tengo que verte / A las escondidas / Tendras que verme,' underscores the necessity of their covert encounters. The phrase 'a las escondidas' translates to 'in hiding' or 'in secret,' emphasizing the clandestine nature of their relationship.

This acceptance is bittersweet, as it allows the relationship to continue but at the cost of full emotional fulfillment.

The lines, 'Yo por las noches, yo te sueño / Sueño que algun dia / Estaremos juntos los dos,' reveal the protagonist's yearning for a time when their love can be free from secrecy. This dream provides a glimmer of hope amidst the sorrow of their current situation.
