Cómo Decirte

In 'Cómo Decirte,' José Luis Perales delves into the profound and often ineffable nature of love. The song's lyrics explore the limitations of language in expressing the depth of emotions that come with a long-term relationship. Perales begins by acknowledging the inadequacy of words to convey what his eyes and heart are already screaming. This sets the stage for a reflection on how, over the years, the couple has developed a unique, non-verbal understanding that transcends spoken language.

The song emphasizes that certain feelings are too grand to be encapsulated by mere words. Perales poetically suggests that trying to express the most beautiful aspects of love with words is as futile as attempting to touch the sky. This metaphor highlights the boundless and infinite nature of true love, which cannot be confined by the limitations of language. The lyrics also touch on the idea that words can sometimes act as barriers, putting 'borders on the heart' and stifling the true essence of what one feels.

Perales further explores the concept of silent communication between lovers. He suggests that in the silence, the beating hearts of those who love each other can be heard more clearly than any spoken word. This silent understanding is portrayed as a sacred mystery that words could only diminish. By attempting to articulate the 'indecible'—the unspeakable—one risks silencing the heart's true cry. The song concludes with a poignant declaration of love that needs no words, encapsulating the idea that the most profound emotions are often best left unspoken.
