Quiero Correr
La Esfinge Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quiero correr, quiero volar, quiero salir de pronto de este lugar, y conocer de una vez mas para vivir, para soñar, quiero correr quiero volar, quiero salir de pronto de este lugar, y recorrer de una vez mas para reir, para pecar, gritar el sol de aqui te veo brillar.
Pero todo esto queda lejos a donde estan luna dejame verla palida, solo tengo esta flor del pueblo mi libertad.
Como darte lo que no tengo pero se que hay un lugar donde el rio se junta con el mar.
Me desperte y te quiero mucho mas.
Hoy sale el sol de aqui lo veo brillar.
La supresion, la sociedad, porque no dejan vivir en paz, no quieren ver.
No quieren dar, se van a arder en mi verdad
