Quiero Ser
Los Caños Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴

Quiero ser la pasion de tu mirada
Quiero ser prisionero de tu amor
Ser de tus sentimientos
La mejor sensacion
Ser el viento que acaricia tu pelo
Ser de nuevo tu mayor deseo
Vivir solo para ti
Para ti quiero vivir

Acaricia mi cuerpo
Siente el amor que va desprendiendo
Siente el dolor por tu sufrimiento
Yo tambien lo llevo dentro

Perdona
Si no estas conmigo
Lo entiendo,escucha
Piensa en esos buenos momentos
Que pasams juntos
En el jardin en el que tu eras la rosa y yo el jazmin

Perdona
Si no estas conmigo
Lo entiendo, escucha
Piensa en esos buenos momentos
Que pasamos juntos agarrados de la mano
Que pasamos juntos siempre sin besarnos
Sin besarnos, no

Yo sere tu cobjo,tu almohada
La sonrisa que alivie tu dolor
Es por ti todo lo hago
Por tener tu amor

Dejame que lo intente de nuevo
Dejame ser tu mayor deseo

Solo vivo para ti
Si es que para ti quiero vivir

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of Los Caños's song Quiero Ser express a strong desire from the singer to be the passion of his loved one's gaze, to be a prisoner of her love and to be the best sensation of her feelings. He wants to be the wind that gently caresses her hair and her greatest desire once again. The singer is willing to live only for her, to be her pillow, her smile that alleviates her pain and to do everything to have her love. He asks for forgiveness if they are not together, but encourages his loved one to remember the good moments they shared, when they were holding hands in the garden and enjoying each other's company.

The song is rich in romantic sentiments and the use of metaphors to describe the singer's desire for his loved one. The lyrics paint a vivid picture of a man longing for the love of a woman and willing to do anything to get it. The repetition of the words "perdona" (forgive me) and "quiero ser" (I want to be) throughout the song highlights the singer's pleading tone and the depth of his yearning. The overall message of the song is that the singer is willing to love and be loved unconditionally.
