Si puedo volar
no me detendran
todo lo que soy
es lo que nadie quiere de mi
todo lo que quiero
es aprender a ser feliz

[Coro]

amor, amor
ya no te odio
amoooooor
amor, amor
ya no te odio

Y si tu te vas
no te detendre
pero no te pido
que te olvides de mi
todo lo que quiero
es que dios te haga morir.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics to Glup!'s song "1999" express a desire for liberation and happiness in the face of past hurts and heartbreaks. The opening lines of the song assert a sense of personal resilience and determination, with the singer declaring that they will not be held back. They express a sense of isolation and rejection from others, stating that what they are is what no one wants from them. However, the singer also suggests a willingness to learn how to be happy – a hopeful sentiment despite their initial sense of loneliness.

The chorus of the song features a refrain of "amor, amor" – "love, love" – and the proclamation that the singer no longer hates it. This suggests that the singer has been hurt by love in the past but has either come to terms with their pain or is trying to move beyond it. In the second verse, the singer addresses a specific person and suggests that they too may leave, but that the singer will not stop them. However, they also express the desire for that person to ultimately be punished for whatever harm they may have caused.
