Escapar
Enrique Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Es así
Sube y baja
Pero un día al fin
Sin querer
Nos va bien
Cuando uno ha dicho se acabó
Una voz
Y se queda
Si decides dejarme
No te voy a suplicar
Allá tú si más tarde
Aunque corras, te escondas
No puedes escapar
Aunque corras, te escondas
No puedes escapar
Hoy si te vas
Ya verás
Que no es tan fácil olvidar
Sabe bien
Sabe mal
Como sea pero es tan real
Que al final
Lo demás
No te importa
Si decides dejarme
No te voy a suplicar
Allá tú si más tarde
Aunque corras, te escondas
No puedes escapar
Aunque corras, te escondas
No puedes escapar
Correrás
Te esconderás
Pero no te escaparás
Correrás
Te esconderás
Pero no te escaparás
Hoy una voz
Dice no
Y se queda
Corre y dime adiós
Si decides dejarme
No te voy a suplicar
Allá tú si más tarde
Aunque corras, te escondas
No puedes escapar
Si decides dejarme
No te voy a suplicar
Allá tú si más tarde
Aunque corras, te escondas
No puedes escapar
You can run
You can run
You can run
You can run
You can run
You can run
You can run
You can run
You can run
You can run
No puedes escapar
The lyrics of Escapar by Enrique Iglesias describe the end of a relationship and the difficulty of moving on. The song speaks to the idea that sometimes people find themselves connected to one another, despite their differences or personal struggles. The chorus of the song repeats the line "although you run, you hide, you cannot escape," which underscores the singer's point that no matter how far someone tries to distance themselves from their past, it will always stay with them in some way.
The opening verses describe the ups and downs of the relationship, with lines such as "up and down, but one day finally, without wanting it, things go well for us." However, when the relationship ends, one person says "it's over," but the other voice in the song says "no" and stays. Later, when the singer warns the person leaving that they cannot escape their past, it feels as though they are trying to convince the other person to stay or at least to give the relationship one more chance.
Overall, the song expresses the difficulty of moving on from a relationship, even when it's clear that it isn't working. The chorus serves as a metaphor for the emotional baggage that people carry with them, long after a relationship has ended.
