Lo Que Quieras
Attaque 77 Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Mis alas quiero desplegar
No pertenezco a ningún lado
Alguna vez me entenderás
Si camino solo por las calles
Es porque así me siento mucho mejor
Tendrás todo lo que quieras
menos mi corazón
si es que lo puedes lograr
No quiero que confundas todo
Cuando a mi lado vos pasas
Pretendás arrancar mi vida
Con tu mirada angelical
Eres tan dulce,
dulce como lagrimas del cielo
Pero, nena, nunca podrá
unirme a tu vuelo
Tendrás todo lo que quieras
menos mi corazón
Tendrás todo lo que quieras
Si es que lo puedes lograr
Acelerando en el camino
todo lo malo quedó atrás
Te aferrarás a mi recuerdo
Yo buscaré mi libertad
Y por más que viaje
contra el viento
siempre seré un gitano sucio y ladrón
Tendrás todo lo que quieras
menos mi corazón
Tendrás todo lo que quieras
si es que lo puedes lograr
The lyrics of Attaque 77's song "Lo Que Quieras" speak about a sense of independence and refusal to conform to societal expectations. The singer refuses to live in someone else's dreams and wants to spread their own wings. They feel like they don't belong anywhere but hope that someday someone will understand them. The singer prefers to walk alone instead of being confused, and they warn their listener that they will have everything but their heart. The lyrics express the sentiment that the singer doesn't want to be taken advantage of, and despite the listener's angelic nature, they cannot be a part of their life.
The second verse speaks about leaving behind the negative aspects of life and pursuing one's freedom. The singer feels that they are always on the move against the wind and that they will always be a dirty, cheating nomad. Despite this, they will not compromise to please others. The lyrics convey a sense of defiance where the singer refuses to conform and stresses that they will have everything except their heart.
Overall, the song speaks about the desire for autonomy and the rejection of conformity, which can be empowering to many listeners.
