Quiero Ser Lyrics in English Amaia Montero

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Quiero Ser by Amaia Montero from Spanish to English.
Verse 1
I want to be
A word
Serene and clear
I want to be
A soul free at dawn
I want to be an emigrant
From your delirious mouth
Of desires that one night
You turned into my pain
I want to believe, I want to know
That I'll sleep right next to you
I want to hide from fear
And look at you once
The eyes that the moon has
I want to sing to freedom
And walk close to the sea
Always tied to your waist
That this madness of loving you
Can't end
No matter how many doubts hit you
About whether it's you
The one that makes me so happy
I want to be
The one that swore eternal love to you
I want to be
A word at the station
That bears your name
I want to be the verb 'I can'
I want to go without detours
To confess to you that one afternoon
I started to die for you
I want to believe, I want to know
That I'll sleep right next to you
I want to hide from fear
And look at you once
The eyes that the moon has
I want to sing to freedom
And walk close to the sea
Always tied to your waist
That this madness of loving you
Can't end
No matter how many doubts hit you
About whether it's you
The one that makes me so happy
I want to believe, I want to know
That I'll sleep right next to you
I want to hide from fear
And look at you once
The eyes that the moon has
I want to sing to freedom
And walk close to the sea
Always tied to your waist
That this madness of loving you
Can't end
No matter how many doubts hit you
About whether it's you
The one that makes me so happy

SONG MEANING

Quiero Ser is Amaia Montero’s joyful love letter wrapped in poetic imagery. Throughout the song, she lists all the extraordinary shapes her affection could take: a clear word, a free-spirited soul at dawn, a fearless traveler across her lover’s lips. Every line is a wish to stay close, conquer doubts, and turn fragile moments into everlasting devotion. By asking to “sleep a la verita tuya” and to “walk by the sea still clinging to your waist,” the singer paints love as both comfort and adventure, a blissful locura she never wants to cure.

At the same time, the lyrics celebrate personal freedom. Amaia wants to “sing to liberty” and be the verb puedo (“I can”), showing that true love empowers rather than confines. The repeated chorus becomes a mantra of confidence: no matter how many questions arise, this passionate bond is what makes her happiest. With its sun-kissed coastal images and heartfelt pledges, Quiero Ser invites listeners to believe in a love that is tender, fearless, and wonderfully alive.
