Bien Se Esconden

Song Meaning

The lyrics paint a picture of a tense confrontation, possibly a romantic or territorial dispute, where the narrator asserts dominance and dismisses someone they perceive as an imitator and enemy. The opening lines immediately establish a boundary: "conmigo no trates de inventar" (don't try to invent with me) and a rejection of the other person's advances or claims, stating "pa' ti no hay na'" (there's nothing for you). There's a strong sense of pride and self-worth, highlighted by "Tengo mi dignity" (I have my dignity), contrasting with the perceived deceit of the other person who "te gusta de buena fingir" (likes to pretend to be good) and is easily accessible ("siempre dices que si" - you always say yes). The core conflict emerges as the narrator identifies an "enemigo que se esconde" (enemy who hides) and accuses them of declaring war and trying to copy them: "Maldito enano, de mi quieres copiar" (damn dwarf, you want to copy me). This hidden enemy is framed as a threat, someone the narrator wants to keep "lejos ver de mi" (far from me). The lyrics suggest a history of conflict and a desire to distance themselves from this rival, who is seen as a lesser imitation. A striking element is the stark, almost brutal imagery used to describe the potential consequences of this conflict. The narrator declares, "Una muerte lenta a ti tu pasarás / Con bala matas, con bala morirás" (You will pass a slow death / You kill with a bullet, you will die with a bullet). This violent, retributive language underscores the severity of the perceived betrayal and the narrator's willingness to engage in a deadly struggle, portraying themselves as a formidable figure with a fearsome reputation ("Ochenta hombres muertos, el record que tenía" - eighty dead men, the record I had). Ultimately, the lyrics resonate through their raw assertion of power and territoriality. The repeated refrain about the "enemigo que se esconde" and the direct accusations of copying create a palpable sense of animosity. The stark, violent pronouncements and the emphasis on personal dignity and reputation make the narrator's stance clear and uncompromising, leaving the listener with a feeling of intense, unresolved conflict.
