El Gorrión Y Yo
Myriam Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Somos dos el gorrión y yo
Él en una jaúla triste canta y canta
Y quiere volar, volar, volar
Somos dos el gorrión y yo
Yo con una pena presa en mi alma
Que me hace llorar, llorar, llorar
Señor carcelero
Ábrame la puerta necesito amar

Que triste ver enjaulado
A mi inocente gorrión
Que triste ver lastimado
Y herido un corazón
El uno vive enjaulado
Colgado de un balcón
El otro esta prisionero
En una cárcel de amor

El otro esta prisionero
En una cárcel de amor
Denle libertad al pobre gorrión
Vengan a curar a mi corazón

Somos dos el gorrión y yo
Los dos implormos los dos suplicamos
Por la libertad ay, ay, ay, ay
Somos dos el gorrión y yo
Él fue encarcelado por cantar bonito
Que injusta verdad es la verdad
Yo por muy confiada
Mi pecho sangraba hoy es un penar

Que triste ver enjaulado
A mi inocente gorrión
Que triste ver lastimado
Y herido un corazón
El uno vive enjaulado
Colgado de un balcón
El otro esta prisionero
En una cárcel de amor

El otro esta prisionero
En una cárcel de amor
Denle libertad al pobre gorrión
Vengan a curar a mi corazón

Somos dos el gorrión y yo
Los dos implormos los dos suplicamos
Por la libertad ay, ay, ay, ay
Somos dos el gorrión y yo
Él fue encarcelado por cantar bonito
Que injusta verdad es la verdad




Yo por muy confiada
Mi pecho sangraba hoy es un penar.

Overall Meaning

The lyrics of "El Gorrión y Yo" by Myriam speak about two beings who are both imprisoned in one way or another. The first one is a sparrow who sings incessantly in a sad cage, longing to fly away. The second is the singer herself, whose heart is suffocated by a deep sorrow that makes her cry all the time. Both the sparrow and the singer are held captive by external circumstances that deprive them of their freedom. The sparrow is physically trapped in a cage, while the singer is emotionally immobilized by her suffering.


The song creates a metaphorical link between the sparrow's captivity and the singer's emotional state. The sparrow's singing is a form of protest against its confinement, just as the singer's cries are a way of expressing her inner pain openly. Both the sparrow and the singer are pleading for their freedom, and they are both helpless before their captors. The singer even addresses the prison guard, asking to be released from the jail of love she finds herself in.


The imagery in the lyrics of "El Gorrión y Yo" is poignant, and the message is universal. The song speaks about the longing for freedom and the pain of captivity, whether physical or emotional.
