A Escondidas (feat. Morad)

The song 'A Escondidas' by $kyhook, featuring Morad, delves into the clandestine relationship between two individuals from seemingly different worlds. The lyrics paint a picture of a romance that must be kept hidden, particularly from the girl's mother, suggesting a disapproval or social barrier that forbids their open association. The repeated lines 'Y a escondidas que su madre / No le gusta que yo le vea' emphasize the need for secrecy and the challenges they face in maintaining their relationship.

The song's narrative explores the contrasts between the two lovers. The male voice describes himself as 'muy malo' (very bad) and the girl as 'muy adorable' (very adorable), indicating a perceived mismatch. This could reflect societal judgments based on reputation, class, or lifestyle. The girl is portrayed as someone who is desired by many ('Cuando pasa le tiran ocho / A los ocho directo los tacha'), but she only has eyes for the protagonist, further highlighting the exclusivity and depth of their connection.

Cultural references, such as the mention of 'los azules' (the police), add a layer of complexity to the song, hinting at a background of legal troubles for the male protagonist. This element of the narrative suggests that their love must overcome not only social disapproval but also the challenges posed by his involvement with the law. The song captures the tension between desire and societal expectations, and the lengths to which people will go to preserve a love that exists 'a escondidas' (in secret).
