Parte de tu Mundo
Alan Menken Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Que no veo las cosas como y lo hace
No es posible que un mundo que hace tantas maravillas sea
Tan malo
¿Qué tengo aquí?
Que lindo es
Es un tesoro que descubrí
Que no hay mas que pedir
Que lo que ves
A tu alrededor
Tanta abundancia tanto esplendor
Me hace pensar que yo
No necesito mas
Regalitos asi tengo miles
Aunque a veces no sepan que son
Quieres nosemapas tengo viente
Pero yo, en verdad quiero mas
Yo quiero ver algo especial
Yo quiero ver una bella danza
Y caminar con los
Como se llaman
Ahh... pies
Solo nadar no es original
Porque no tener un par de piernas
Y salir a pasear
Como dicen
A pies
Y poder ir
A descubrir
Que siento al estar ante el sol
No tiene fin
Quiero saber
Mas mucho más
Que debo dar para vivir fuera del agua
Que hay que pagar para un día completo estar
Pienso que allá, lo entenderán
Puesto que no prohiben nada
Por qué habrían
De impedirme ir a jugar
Ohhhhhhhhh
A estudiar que hay por saber
Con mis preguntas y sus respuestas
Que es fuego que es quemar
No podré
Ver
Cuandó me iré
Quiero explorar
Sin importarme cuando volver
El exterior
Quiero formar
Parte de el
In Alan Menken's Parte de tu Mundo, the singer sings about her longing to explore the world beyond the ocean. She wants to make the humans understand that her perspective is very different from theirs. She sees her world as a place full of wonders despite the humans thinking of it as bad. The singer continues to say that she has found a treasure (her treasures may be different from the humans') and there is no better thing to ask for. She is content with the abundance and splendor that surrounds her but still wants more. She longs for experiences that are unique and out of the ordinary. She wants to explore beyond the limits, dance with people, walk on feet, uncover the mysteries of the sun, understand the concept of fire and burning, and much more. She wants to learn so much and be part of the world beyond the ocean.
The lyrics of this song reflect on the human longing for adventure, experiences, and wanting to explore beyond the known world. Many people feel that they lack something in their lives and crave something new and exciting. It can be interpreted in many ways, including wanting to break free from the monotony of daily life, explore new cultures, and experience new perspectives. The song is popular among all ages, and its timeless message makes it a classic Disney song.
