Salir Corriendo Lyrics in English Amaral

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Salir Corriendo by Amaral from Spanish to English.
Nadie puede guardar toda el agua del mar
Nobody can hold all the water of the sea
En un vaso de cristal
In a glass
¿Cuántas gotas tienes que dejar caer
How many drops do you have to let fall
Hasta ver la marea crecer?
Until you see the tide grow?
¿Cuántas veces te ha hecho sonreír?
How many times has it made you smile?
Esta no es manera de vivir
This isn't a way to live
¿Cuántas lágrimas puedes guardar
How many tears can you keep
En tu vaso de cristal?
In your glass?
Si tienes miedo, si estás sufriendo
If you're afraid, if you're suffering
Tienes que gritar y salir, salir corriendo
You have to scream and leave, run away
¿Cuántos golpes dan las olas
How many hits do the waves give
A lo largo del día en las rocas?
Throughout the day on the rocks?
¿Cuántos peces tienes que pescar
How many fish do you have to catch
Para hacer un desierto del fondo del mar?
To make a desert of the bottom of the sea?
¿Cuántas veces te ha hecho callar?
How many times has it made you shut up?
¿Cuánto tiempo crees que aguantarás?
How long do you think you'll last?
¿Cuántas lágrimas vas a guardar
How many tears are you going to keep
En tu vaso de cristal?
In your glass?
Si tienes miedo, si estás sufriendo
If you're afraid, if you're suffering
Tienes que gritar y salir, salir corriendo
You have to scream and leave, run away
Si tienes miedo, si estás sufriendo
If you're afraid, if you're suffering
Tienes que gritar y salir, salir corriendo
You have to scream and leave, run away
Si tienes miedo, si estás sufriendo
If you're afraid, if you're suffering
Tienes que gritar y salir, salir corriendo
You have to scream and leave, run away

Corriendo means "running". While it might seem like a common word, its use in the phrase "salir corriendo" (to run away or to flee) is particularly impactful in this song.

In the context of the lyrics, it's not just about physical running, but about escaping from fear and suffering. The song encourages listeners to "gritar y salir, salir corriendo" (scream and leave, run away), making corriendo a powerful symbol of taking action and breaking free from difficult situations.
