Yo no sé mañana
Yo no sé mañana, Yo no sé mañana si estaremos juntos, si se acaba el mundo Yo no sé si soy para ti, si serás para mí si lleguemos a amarnos o a odiarnos Yo no sé mañana, Yo no sé mañana quien va estar aquí
This is from a salsa song by Luis Enrique. I get that it means something like "I don't know about tomorrow" or "I don't know what will happen tomorrow" but it sounds like "I don't know tomorrow"
Why doesn't he say "Yo no sé SOBRE mañana" or something..?

He is saying "I don't know tomorrow if..."
where in standard speech you would say "I don't know if tomorrow...."
It's interesting to see the if +present tense, then present indicative, future indicative, present subjunctive in subordinate clauses in use, but other than that I would never choose music lyrics to study grammar. Lyricists commonly violate all rule of standard grammar to achieve the proper flow of words to match the music. It may be great for leaning slang or current idioms, but grammar-probably the worst choice.
