The Spanish version reads better than the English. I would render it slightly differently than the post’s title above: “The mystery always tells us that…”
… but in retrospect my translation does not allow for the correct solution to finish the sentence, see Reginald @6, below.
There’s someone I know who will suddenly say to you “Want to know a secret?” and whatever you answer, he will just say nothing at all. Because of course if he told you the secret, it wouldn’t be a secret.
I didn’t think of “suspense” because, at least in English, “suspense” and “suspension” are two different things. “Suspense” is only used to mean tension, not elevation.
@Reginald and @Powers, I had friends who enjoyed malapropisms , and one was to exclaim “Don’t leave us in suspenders!” in response to an unconcluded story.

They mysterious man in black is a recurring character in Macanudo. If I remember correctly, he is often in strips that leave the reader hanging.

“Cue the Pierces.”
I assume you mean the musical duo, and their song “Secret”. I like them a lot.

I saw it as: ”Mystery always tells us …”
What? What?
Nothing. That’s why it’s a mystery.
