Runaway
Nuyorican Soul Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Made lots of friends, many different races
I've had such fun around the world it's true
African skies with a Nairobi mood
I fell asleep in Tuscany and dreamed
The one thing missing was you
Runaway with me my love,
Runaway with me my love,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
I woke up with an Australian breeze
And danced the dance with Aborigines
Oh under the moon glow down in Mexico I dreamed
One thing was missing that's you
Runaway with me my love,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
Runaway with me my love,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
We'll sail the waters of many colors
We won't need a compass, love will guide our way
Don't need nobody, as long as we got each other
No need to hurry, we've got everyday
I wanna share the world with you, you see
Spring time in Paris feels so good to me
Oh this is for me reality
So please make all my wishes come true
Runaway with me my love,
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah
And I just know we'll have a good time
And I just know we'll have a good time
The lyrics of Nuyorican Soul's song "Runaway" speak to a sense of adventure and the desire for companionship throughout the journey. The singer has experienced the world and traveled to many places, meeting people of various races and having fun, but still feels that something is missing. The first verse describes his experiences in Africa and Tuscany, where he fell asleep and dreamed of the one thing he wished he had - someone to share his experiences with. The chorus asks the listener to "runaway" with him, emphasizing the desire for companionship and the need to escape from a mundane existence.
In the second verse, the singer describes waking up in Australia and dancing with Aborigines before dreaming of the same thing he longs for - having someone special to share these experiences with. The bridge highlights the power of love in guiding their journey, as they sail through the waters of many colors and explore the world together. The singer believes that they do not need anyone else, as long as they have each other, and everyday can be a new adventure with endless possibilities. The final chorus reaffirms the singer's conviction that they will have a good time together.

La Índia me llevas tódo el respéto ... por siempre.
Éra fiél a la comunidád y núnca nos habias negados.
Bézos y abrazos mi amor.
Que Diós te bendigas a tí, y a tódos sus seres queridos.
MMUUAAHH

There aren't many covers that dare to outdo the original. This version is very respectful of the original in the basic arrangement of the first half (the original was only 3 min long), but then takes a cinematic turn, between the strings and India's Spanish arrangement, that elevates this to pure otherworldly magic and inspiration!
