‘Silencio’, from Rauw Alejandro‘s latest album Cosa Nuestra Capítulo 0 dives into the tension between love, desire, and conflict inside a relationship that’s slowly losing its spark. Rauw looks back at the passion and intimacy they once shared, remembering how even in silence their connection was powerful and erotic. Now, however, arguments and distance have started to take over.
Through sensual imagery, the lyrics describe wanting to replace fights with physical closeness—literally asking for silence, not through avoidance, but through intimacy. There’s a mix of nostalgia and urgency: he misses the small details (like kissing her neck) and longs for the intensity they had when their bodies spoke louder than words.
The bridge shows the emotional layer: he doesn’t know when things went cold, but he wants to reignite the warmth, urging her to value their shared history and leave the drama behind. In short, the track portrays a couple on the edge, trying to resolve their problems through passion, where silence becomes both refuge and escape.
I don’t even remember the last time you and I made love
The bed thinks we’re just siblings, and those moans in silence…
Oh, it was thrilling, baby, seeing that fire in your eyes
Just a wink from me and your body turned into a flood
When I tried not to bother the neighbors, I covered your mouth
Every night your desire called me, lifting me up to glory
Silence, calm down
Tonight there’s no arguing, don’t go against me, I miss seeing you naked
It’s been a while since I kissed your neck, I forgot which of your breasts feels the most pleasure (Huh, ey)
If an argument comes up, you choose the position, you can finish first
Hate me while I’m inside you
Shut me up with your mouth
Forget decency and restraint, take it out on me in the dark, take advantage of me
I want you to say goodbye to me so I can leave, just to come back again (Huh, ey)
If an argument comes up, you choose the position, you can finish first
Hate me while I’m inside you
What’s up? Je
Oh, I don’t know, baby, when it was that things got cold
I need your warmth
Come on, look at me, where did I go wrong? How did it happen?
Come close and explain how it went down
Oh, I don’t know, baby, when it was that things got cold
Value more what we’ve lived, forget the drama
Come on, look at me, where did I go wrong? How did it happen?
Don’t raise your voice at me anymore, better scream at me in bed, ah, ah
When I tried not to bother the neighbors, I covered your mouth
Every night your desire called me, lifting me up to glory
Silence, calm down
Tonight there’s no arguing, don’t go against me, I miss seeing you naked
It’s been a while since I kissed your neck, I forgot which of your breasts feels the most pleasure (Huh, ey)
If an argument comes up, you choose the position, you can finish first
Hate me while I’m inside you
(Shut me up with your mouth).
