Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Por las calles de la gran ciudad
Caminé dos horas o más
Hundiéndome en la oscuridad
Fantaseando de tanto escapar
Imaginándome en otro lugar
Espero nadie me haga esperar
Sigo buscando mi oportunidad
Tantos años de verte pasar
De tan cerca
Ya no puedo esperar
Sigo buscando mi oportunidad
Tantos años de verte pasar
De tan cerca
Ya no puedo esperar
Por las calles de la gran ciudad
Por las calles de la gran ciudad
Caminé dos horas o más
Hundiéndome en la oscuridad

The repetition of "Por las calles de la gran ciudad" reinforces the sense of being surrounded by the concrete jungle and feeling lost in its labyrinthine streets.
