Lo Saben Mis Zapatos

The song 'Lo Saben Mis Zapatos' by Pablo López is a poetic exploration of intense, secret love and desire. The title itself, which translates to 'My Shoes Know It,' suggests a personal truth that is evident in one's actions or perhaps the journey one is on, but not openly acknowledged. López uses the phrase 'no lo sabe nadie' ('nobody knows it') to emphasize the clandestine nature of the feelings he is expressing.

The lyrics convey a sense of longing and a deep need for connection with the object of his affection. Phrases like 'Quiero merendarte al Sol' (which could be interpreted as 'I want to have you as my afternoon snack in the sun') and 'Te quiero matar de amor' ('I want to kill you with love') are hyperbolic expressions that illustrate the intensity of his emotions. The juxtaposition of violence and affection in 'Te quiero matar de amor' is a powerful metaphor for the overwhelming nature of his feelings, which are so strong that they could metaphorically 'kill.'

Pablo López is known for his emotive ballads and poetic lyrics, and this song is no exception. The repeated assertion that 'nobody knows' suggests a deeply personal and perhaps unrequited love, where the protagonist's feelings are kept hidden from the world. The song's narrative doesn't provide a resolution, leaving listeners to ponder the outcome of this secret passion. The use of everyday objects and people, such as shoes, the ungrateful, and cowards, as confidants to his secret, adds a layer of relatability and depth to the song.
