^1,2,3,4 Si no has caído meaning in English: Here is one of the most difficult expressions in Spanish to understand but you will learn here that it is easier than you thought. Sometimes, when reading something in Spanish, watching a Spanish show or even talking to a native Spanish, there is the possibility of encountering the phrase “Has caido” or “caer en cuenta”, both of them as many of the variations it has, tend to be extremely difficult to understand at first because they sound or read illogical when translated. Let’s see a couple of examples: “¿No has caido en cuenta de lo peligroso que es eso?” – “Haven’t you realized of how dangerous that is?” “¿Has caido por fin del daño que hiciste?” – “Have you finally realized the damage you did?” See how in the sentences above how “Caido” is used to express a realization of something and not the fall of something. “Caer en cuenta” is similar to “Darse cuenta” which is another difficult expression to understand but both mean the same, to realize something. Now that you learned the meaning it would be way easier to comprehend these phrases when you encounter them in the future.

Review

Franco de Vita No Basta meaning and English lyrics translated

Franco de Vita is among the greatest singers and songwriters in Latin America, he won several Latin Grammy prizes, and he was recognized by the USA Congress as one of the most influential Latin artists of all time. The Venezuelan songwriter has written songs for great artists just as Chayanne, Ricky Martin, and Luis Fonsi among others.

When I was a child, my mom used to hear his songs, but at that time I remembered the melodies but not the lyrics, when I grew up, I started to listen to his music again, this time by analyzing them and discovering how wonderful they were.

No Basta – “It’s not enough” is one of those great songs. No Basta is not the typical song with a popular theme, instead, No Basta is a song about how to be a good parent. The premise of the song is that “It’s not enough” and then tells how is not enough to bring a child into the world just because you think it’s necessary for marriage or probably because you made a mistake.

No Basta by Franco de Vita teaches us that a child not only needs material possessions or to have the things you didn’t have as a child. Children need affection, people who can guide them and give answers to all their doubts. The lyrics understand that probably one night you were too tired because of your job and didn’t listen when your kid wanted to talk to you, but encourages us to try to find that space because the answer we don’t give them they will end up looking for them in places we don’t want.

As I mentioned before the song lyrics are unusual but they are really pretty and who knows, you may end up thinking about your dad or your mom while listening to it. In terms of learning Spanish, I don’t consider this song difficult at all, just one sentence can be a little hard but I explained it in the translation lyrics.
