Quién lo va a saber

Lolita Flores' song "Quién lo va a saber" delves into the theme of a secret, passionate love that defies societal norms and barriers. The lyrics express the intense emotions of someone who carries their beloved in their mind and dreams, yet keeps this love hidden from the world. The repeated question, "Quién lo va a saber" (Who will know?), underscores the clandestine nature of this relationship, emphasizing the secrecy and intimacy shared between the lovers.

The song's protagonist is deeply in love, willing to face any obstacle to be with their beloved. The lines "Si lo saben que lo sepan que vivir sin ti no puedo" (If they know, let them know that I can't live without you) and "Que me pongan mil barreras y verán cómo te quiero" (Let them put up a thousand barriers and they will see how much I love you) highlight the determination and resilience of the lover. This defiance against societal judgment and the willingness to overcome any hurdle for love is a central theme in the song.

Moreover, the song uses vivid imagery and metaphors to convey the depth of this secret love. The exchange of a kiss for a carnation ("tú me entregas tu boca y yo te doy mi clavel") symbolizes a tender and intimate connection. The mention of fields that never speak ("si los campos nunca hablan") further emphasizes the secrecy and the silent understanding between the lovers. Lolita Flores' passionate delivery and the emotive lyrics create a powerful narrative of love that is both hidden and unbreakable.
