A beautiful Spanish song - Quiero Ser (I want to be)

I love A.R.Rahman's music, and the side effect was that in three years after getting in contact with the language, I was speaking Tamil as fluently as a native speaker. Do you get the hint? I hope so.

Here is a Spanish song which I picked up from the los principales list (It is the Spanish equivalent of top 40 billboard of the US or UK). I love the song (I have already learned quite a few words from the song), and I hope you like it too.

Here is the video of the song from You tube, and the translated lyrics. (You will never forget the word quiero after listening to this song)



Lyrics

Quiero ser, una palabra serena y clara
I want to be a word calm and clear

Quiero ser, un alma libre, de madrugada
I want to be a free soul, at dawn

Quiero ser una emigrante, de tu boca delirante,
I want to be an emigrant, delirious for your mouth

de deseos que una noche convertiste en mi dolor.
of desires that one night you turned into my pain

Estribillo 1 (refrain)
Quiero creer, quiero saber,
I want to believe, I want to know

que dormiré a la verita tuya (1)
that I will sleep by your side

Quiero esconderme de miedo y mirar de una vez
I want to hide because of fear and to look at last

los ojos que tiene la luna.
the eyes that the moon has

Estribillo 2
Quiero cantar a la libertad,
I want to sing to freedom

y caminar cerca del mar, amarradita siempre a tu cintura (2)
and to walk close the sea, tied always to your waist

que esta locura de amarte no puede acabar
that this crazyness of loving you cannot end

por mucho que te entren las dudas
just because you doubt

de si eres tú el que me hace tan feliz
whether is you who makes me so happy

Quiero ser, la que te jure amor eterno.
I want to be the one who swears to you eternal love

Quiero ser, una parada en la estación
I want to be a stop in the station

que lleva tu nombre.
that has your name

Quiero ser el verbo "puedo",
I want to be the verb "can"

quiero andarme sin rodeos (3), confesarte
I want not to beat around the bush, to confess to you

que una tarde empecé a morir por ti
that one afternoon I started dying for you
