“Si antes te hubiera conocido” by Karol G is super viral on TikTok, but its meaning isn’t as romantic as many people think!
Karol G’s song “If I had met you before” is super viral on TikTok. In the video who use this sound we often see very sweet couples, but spoiler: this is not a love song. Let’s find out together what the song is really about!
I’m marrying you
My name sounds good with your last name
‘I’m waiting for the first mistake
To introduce you as my husband
You have not understood that
The translation of this viral sound is: “I’m marrying you / My name sounds good with your last name/ I’m waiting for the first misstep/ To introduce yourself as my husband / You didn’t understand that“. And you will say: “Well, isn’t that a sweet declaration of love?” Before we get too convinced, let’s read and listen to the rest of the song!
One of the first lines of the song is: “What would have been? / If I had met you before” which can be translated as: “What would have happened / if I had met you before?”. But why does the singer ask herself this question? Continuing with the listening Karol G dice: “For a kiss I do anything / His girlfriend makes me jealous and even though she is beautiful” which translated means: “For a kiss, I would do anything / His girlfriend makes me jealous, and even though she’s beautiful”. So from this point we can deduce that the boy who is the protagonist of this girl’s attentions is actually already engaged!
But the singer doesn’t stop here, in refrain adds: He’s not going to treat you like me / He’s not going to kiss you like I do / It’s not as rich as I am / She is shy and I am not […]/ Today you’re hanging out with her / But (Mmm) maybe not later“. This piece translated means: “He won’t treat you like me / He won’t kiss you like me / He’s not as sexy as me / She is shy and I am not […]/ Go out with her today / But (Mm), maybe not after“.
In short, the meaning seems to be really clear! song talks about an unrequited love due to the fact that he is already engaged. More than love, it actually talks about jealousy and what could have happened if the protagonists of the song had met before. And did you already know the meaning of this song?
