Sabes

The song 'Sabes' by Smitten delves into the complexities of love and the pain that often accompanies it. The lyrics reflect a sense of regret and realization from the narrator, who admits to not understanding the depth of emotions involved in a romantic relationship. The line 'No sabía que las chicas se enamoran' (I didn't know that girls fall in love) suggests a naivety or a lack of awareness about the emotional stakes for the other person involved. This realization comes too late, as the narrator acknowledges the hurt caused by their actions.

The song also touches on themes of melancholy and introspection. The narrator speaks of waking up from dreams they once tried to forget, indicating a struggle with past memories and emotions. The recurring line 'Y cuando nuestro sol amor deje de brillar' (And when our sun love stops shining) symbolizes the inevitable end of their relationship, a fate that seems to be accepted by both parties. This metaphor of the sun no longer shining represents the fading of their love and the acceptance of its conclusion.

Furthermore, the song explores the internalization of pain and the feeling of isolation. The narrator mentions keeping melancholy and pain inside, and the sentiment that 'A nadie importa lo que diga mi canción' (No one cares what my song says) highlights a sense of loneliness and the feeling that their emotions are insignificant to others. Despite this, there is a yearning for love and connection, as expressed in the line 'Y hoy necesito de tu amor para vivir' (And today I need your love to live). This juxtaposition of internal pain and the need for love underscores the complexity of human emotions and relationships.
